Default Curve, The

Hi

I would like to suggest that you upload the game named "The Curve".

It is an game for (maximum) 6 players on one keyboard :w00t: .
It's one of these games witch will never get old - like Tetris, Pacman an' co.
The game is similar to the Snake on Nokias but like 100 times better
'cause it is multi-player game. It's great fun if you play it with your friends.

I remember playing it at school. The whole school (except the teachers )
were crazy about it. We even hid the keyboard, turned off the screen and stuff like that
just to make sure that the comp will be free when we came there.

So GREAT game to play it with friends (no matter what age are you.)
Also it is hard to find it on the net (have no idea why!?) so it would be nice if you
upload it on your site if that is fine with all the legality stuff (but i think that wouldn't be
a problem since the game is like 100 years old... k: )

Your request belongs to the Request Forum. Regarding the game: I didn't find any evidence of it's existence. Maybe someone else can help.

Well, in fact, I already have it and i just wanted to suggest it for others...

You can find it on this site.

Hope it's not against the posting rules. Since in the game files is written something
like: © 1987,1988 Borland International i'm guessing that the copyrights has long gone.

p.s.: run it with dosbox and play it with at least 2 of your friends otherwise you will find it boring
and wouldn't upload it .

Have fun coz the game rules.

Copyrights last at least 70 years because of the US-American copyright.

I had a look at it and would say that Borland shouldn't be interested in protecting a fameless, nameless game of the late eighties with minimalistic graphics like that - they are busy with their software for developers. Probably they even can't remember this title - if it is a Borland title at all and not only developed under Borland programs.

I've just found it. The game is named: Achtung, die Kurve!, also known as Zatacka. It's freeware so you sure can upload it. Here is a Wikipedia link. There is also a new version that allows online multiplaying. Sorry for complications...
