You can't post in the subforums there, only in the main Requests forum.

Moved from FON

Next time post them in separate threads, thanks.

Good games, yes. But apparently lost in time...


I might still have Pyrotechica somewhere on a CD.

Psygnosis is under the ESA label, since their properties were apparently taken by Sony. That's why you have a tougher time finding their Amiga games on sites like Back2roots and such that offer legally downloadable games. So there's a good chance Pyrotechinca (which I own) and Armour-Geddon are protected in some form.

I got Armour-Geddon as 3.5" floppy version. Still shrinkwrapped.
Pyrotechnica is a CD version and Cybercon III I have downloaded somewhere as a zip.

While this thread is still going, what's the difference between the ten year rule, and the fifteen year rule I've been seeing sporadically? Is it ten years for a dead company, and fifteen for one that's still around in some form (be it on their own, having been absorbed into another company, or having had their IPs purchased)? Is it vice versa? Something different altogether?

Just curious to know since I apparently don't know my head from my ass on the subject, seeing as all three are approved.

Well, there seems to be (still) some confusion but I think it's (basically)
15 years for ESA core members
10 years for their subsidiaries.

Mind you, some companies (especially Sierra and LucasArts) tend to cling onto their game titles like a bear mother to her cubs, even beyond those 15 /10years. If so, then the titles are concidered protected "until further notice".

Look at this post http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/sho...4&postcount=15
especially the very last comment from Tom Henrik.

Are you sure if Pyrotechnica is a CD version. It's not that big of a game, just some vector based shooting. I used to have the floppy version of AG as well, somewhere. AFIAK these games are pretty rare. I'm a bit lost about these rules as well, but if you want these games be preserved, better upload/host.. Ps.Another game I just recall: Slipheed 5000
