Latest news update on what's happening!

okay, Apparently I discovered two things, ONE, The name of my blog is the same as another game called RULES OF ENGAGEMENT This is a dating game that sucks. So that's a problem. they think its copyright infringing on an unrelated game. Google search I hope gets their facts straight. THIS IS NOT THE DATING GAME, THIS IS AN ABANDONWARE GAME ON PUBLIC DOMAIN AND AVAILABLE TO ALL! PLEASE STOP BLOCKING MY SITE ON SEARCHES!!! PLEASE!!!

Oh and to top it off, There's a weblog dedicated to the Brave Marine Corps with the same name as well!! So I'm kinda stuck there too! So it may also be that my hits are being cascaded to other sites with similar names!

Now then...

I did get a few of interesting emails. SO THANK GOD PEOPLE ARE READING MY BLOG!

First, they wanted me to do two games. ZZT and BOPPIN

Well... I've given it some thought. Yeah! I THINK WE NEED A NEW ZZT GAME THAT IS HOT AND FRESH! Something to garner attention to it again!

In the mean time, head over to MUSEUM OF ZZT

They got the latest freshest games there. YES! ITS STILL GOING FOLKS!!

I've been thinking... Have they ever made a sequel to CODE RED BY GREG JANSON?

That would be swell.

Maybe they could make it for Megazeux? MAYBE I COULD????

BOPPIN is another. People want me to write a good Boppin campaign.

I'll think about it! I missed that game!!

Other than that, I'm thinking of Shadowrun Hong Kong campaigns and doing a campaigns with that.

Shadowrun HONG KONG is the newer and better version, You can get it on places like STEAM

And if there's more support I'll do a few new RULES OF ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGNS TOO!

Abandonware is legal. Yes its free

People have asked me, is it true that abandonware games like those mentioned on the blog are legal? Its okay to download for free?

Yes. Under current copyright laws they are old and they are free. BUT... if it becomes too popular, often times a company will step in and reissue the copyright and then its no longer legal.

CASE IN POINT... Outlander, Master of Orion 1 and 2, Close combat a bridge too far, Some of the D&D Forgotten realms Gold disks, ETC. They aren't free anymore. You have to buy them from STEAM or from GOG.COM

Yes. Its true.

So hopefully Omnitrend or another company won't come along and renew the games Breach 2 and 3 or renew Rules of Engagement 1 and 2 and charge an arm and a leg for it.

I'd Probably cry real hard if they did
