BoOchan! Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hello All I was browsing in one of our stores here (Makro Warehouse) which is basically a store full of South American Biscuits, Cheap Electronics, etc. I was browsing there today and happened to find a CD Called "Arcade Classics 2003" That was styled EXACTLY like an M$ CD. I bought it for A$20, and went home with it "Interested" into what was on it. I came home, put it and found for it to be full of GBA ROMS, An entire Collection of ColecoVision ROM's, old Abandonware DOS Games and Beginner Shockwave games. Are they even allowed to sell this, or is it entirely illegal..? Here is a link to what it looks like: http://www.simplestore.com/index.asp?PageA...PROD&ProdID=110. Should I complain to the store, I bought $20 worth of freakin freeware, and I'm pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 It's entirely illegal. And you didn't buy freeware. You bought warez. Personally, I would ignore it were it not for the GBA ROM images. While piracy of out-of-production software is a "victimless crime", piracy of current games is evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
