Whether they host the game on their website or not has nothing to do with the game's legal status, unfortunately. And it would be a shame if a good abandonware site like this got sued by a company for hosting a product that wasn't abandonware--because some people wanted it badly.

Try writing the current owners of Sierra, and ask them about either re-releasing the title, or freeing up its rights.

I think the 3 games of the series are a bit different that way.

GK1 could be put on abandonia the same way the other sierra games of that era are here, which have also a quite questionable abandonware status, but I think abandonia has some permit for them.

GK2 is too big, so its impossible to put that on the site even if it would be abandonware. By the way does anyone know some place apart from ebay, to get a new copy for a few euros?

GK3 is still sold as sierra best seller for 6€, so its deffinately not abandonware.

It's copyrighted by an ESA member. That means it isn't abandonware. It would be nice if it were otherwise...but hoping it's so doesn't make it so.

Which Sierra titles on Abbandonia are of questionable abandonware status?

[Razor2]

I think all adventures from that age are also copyrighted, so if GK1 is not abandonware, most KQ, SQ and other stuff is in the same status.

sierra haven't asked abandonia to take the games down, infact i think we have permission to host them for download, you'd have to check with kosta for the definite answer to that.

And until that is done,
this kind of a discussion should be ceased /-

[Razor2]

[Wael]

Uhm, I actually don´t have a rank to give orders...
So it was mere a logical suggestion,
So no need to be /-

As it says on the site, check often. While that kind of comment is often used as a way to boost net traffic, it's also true in this case. New product arrives all the time, and is sold all the time. This goes for eBay and Amazon, too. Amazon also allows you to maintain a wishlist that you can easily check for a series of items: at a glance, you can see what used versions of the items you want are selling for.
