i'll agree with you,harry.i don't like pirates of things in general.if an item
that was previously unrealeased comes up for lynx i like to see it on an
eprom to use with my lynx.if i have a developer cart to use it with that is
fine too.some emulation of things is fine,i guess.atari is no more.all we
have is released stuff or proto eproms that come around from time to
time now.some homebrew stuff too,i guess.if it was my game i wouldn't
like seeing it on a rom site for free download for all.i believe in getting a
royalty on what is your property.if i or you designed the new cadillac evoq
and have a $1.00 dollar per car royalty coming from gm,then we have it
coming to us as per our agreement with the company.enough said.
protos from a defunct company like atari may be a different story when it
comes to you and me seeing and/or owning them.if they appear on a rom
site,i'm not sure how to look at it.you may still look at it as theft in some
ways,because someone at rebellion or wherever programmed the thing
for lynx or etc.if it is on an eprom and an old atari sold off asset from the
past, i guess,you could have a problem with a programmer if you started to sell it to others out there.as was the case i've heard here on atari age
when it came to selling daemongate and avp at b&c computer visions here
last year.i heard about everyone flaming bruce for selling them they were all calling him a pirate and such.others have done this in the past for the lynx and did not get this treatment.it can be a thin red line thing,i guess.
what are your thoughts on this?
i would love to see you release space battles.do not let one small thing
ruin a release for us all.rom sites seem to be a way of life on the web!i'm
not saying these may all be legit sites,though.i would love to see you bring
out demolition derby/dirt track racing too for lynx!-chris
