It means that you can't download the game, it's not abandonware (yet).
Maybe in time ......... it can change, maybe.

And no, I don't know when it will become abandonware, really not.
Can be within the next ten minutes ... or within ten years.

They are working on Colonization II... You can expect the game to stay protected for an ungodly amount of time from now on, unfortunatly...

That was in another time, Dosraider. Nowaday, they'll never consider doing that. There is much more publicity and, more importantly (for them), money to do by releasing it as a console game or by selling it again!

I think as russ, they will surely release it for free as promotion of the sequel. Maybe it become protected again since the co. denveloping the upcomming one just got the licence.

Just like Railroad Tycoon... This would be sweet since it would be a Windows port and it then wouldn't have the annoying memory limitation on number of units in the original DOS version.

Bethesda softworks made "The Elder Scrolls Arena" free for the 10th aniversary, and cus Oblivion was coming out.
