So nobody else saw/got it with the combo of Bumper Wars, RA2, and Tuff Trux? They were all good games. Thats how I bought it way back when.
If it's abandonware does that make the game public domain? I am unfamiliar with the legal terminologies behind what-means-what. I remember several years ago there was a lot of clamor over trying to obtain the game's source code -- would that now be available if the game is recognized as "abandonware"?

We have to get the source code the hard way, by reverse engineering the exe. Serge is the only person to seriously attempt that, and he hasn't gotten very far.

Would it do any harm in just giving the source code of game that didn't sell to a dedicated couple of people?
