Website offering a few old Sierra games
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...n-Your-Browser
Here's the article from another website - referencing the website that is offering the Sierra games. At this time, the owner of the site providing the games *is* offering the games for free, completely non-profit, and requesting to Sierra that since it is completely not for profit, and since the games are basically unavailable any other way, that they not shut him down or sue for copyright infringement. No telling where this will lead - but if somebody would like to contact him it would make a decent article. |

This is interesting. Activision is very very unrelenting though so I doubt he'll get away with it. Sierra may have left ESA but I fear that, with the resale of those games only a year or two ago tops, he may get a CAD warning.
Heck, I just visited the site and it's down. This may be a coincidence, but the extra attention may have already killed it.

The links there just redirect me to Amazon.com. What are you talking about?

This site. It works again now it seems. I do wonder how long it will be allowed to stay up though.

Erm you need to click on the pictures
 You're looking at the "Source" tab. Or are you using an incompatible browser?

Well, maybe it would be a good time to get his email addy, to interview him when Sierra drops the Hammer of Doom on him for CR infringement.
Either way - get it while it's "hot", I suppose. |

Tried it, found it wasn't worthwhile. They are single player games after all.

I'll see what we can do for the next issue - it would make a better "news" bit, however, which I might still fit in the first issue.
