Default Elroy goes Bugzerk

Does anyone have a working CD for either, or better yet both of them? Headbone dropped rights on it and none of their games are ESA protected. Unfortunately, no one has put them on the internet either, seeing as how very few people have heard of it.

Any help here?

I can provide download links for both of them if that's ok.

Would it still qualify for abandonware since the company can no longer profit from the very, very few out of print retail copies?

That isn't logic at all. The distributor wants to sell copies. And therefor it doesn't matter how many copies he has got left. Otherwise you could ask him to give it to you free of charge...

I'm asking whether or not it is abandonware due to the fact that the company who designed and published the game itself can no longer make profit off of the retail outlets.

Sorry, but no. (except for used copies)
We can't approve games that are still sold.

Default Elroy Goes Bugzerk

Elroy Goes Bugzerk was approved in the ISO Cellar a couple of years ago. If anyone has a copy, please share.

For those who aren't familiar with this game - it's an stylish (but overlooked) point and click adventure game for kids (and adults) from the mid-90's.
