Well, does anyone know of any registered online stores for it? or is it just a relic now.....

We'd link to one if there were any.

If that's any consolation, the 15-year ESA protection period on this game expires in 9 months.

W00000000t finally.

I can wait 9 months. This year I waited a year to be with me girlfriend! she loves gaming as well, but i've yet to introduce her to retro gaming ftw!

Oh and slightly off topic ere, why all the dissidence about runescape? (I am actually a pmod in runescape)

[The Fifth Horseman]

No idea. I never played it.

But let's not go too far offtopic. If you want folks from around here to tell you why they have such critical opinions about Runescape, please talk about that in the Favorite Oldies & Newbies forum.

One remark about the game and review. If I remember it correctly, when it was introduced in The Netherlands, as far as I know it, they introduced it only on a CD-ROM version. Which included "many" sounds!! Just for the record, at the moment Jones in the fast lane was introduced this way, it was (as far as I know) the first "big" game on a CD-ROM, and the first one to have "real cool" sounds. We are talking 1992-ish as far as I know and both the CD-ROM and sound cards were just introduced as new hot products. Jones was supposed to be (one of) the first games to use these new features. Which only about 15 years later we all take for granted.

IIRC the speech was ultimately a nuisance because it had to spin up the cd drive first. This wouldn't be a problem though mounting it with daemon tools or the like. Or maybe my cd drive was just really slow when it came out..

So what's this about the 15 year limit?
Does it become public domain, or does ESA just stop protecting it?

[The Fifth Horseman]

ESA doesn't stop protecting it... they just don't bother with it anymore after that.
