I know I'm completely shooting down your idea, HA, but it's just not practical for us, or even Atari/Infogrames. Tankcat's proposal that we request that they just simply release the source code makes much more sense for everyone. That's what this thread was all about anyway. Just to figure out if it was even possible. You have all made good points, but I still feel that Atari isn't going to just hand over the source code without making some profit. Atari just doesn't work like that, they are greedy.

is the game even in production anymore ? or even for sale form the producer ? the game was only licensed in selected areas of the globe which is why many people cant get hold of the demo off internet sites (I know Australia cant) No, I don't believe it is still in production. Which is one of the reasons that I think that Atari would let go of the rights to it pretty cheap. Technically, if we owned the rights to RA2 then we could market DSL (if we wanted to) and there would be no one else to have to give a share of the money to. We would own the namesake of Robot Arena and could eventually make Robot Arena 3. Really, I think that our modders would be proud to see DSL hit the market as an actual game.

I saw this... ...unless of course he sends them a huge check alongside his complaint letter. in another thread, and I also saw the thread that moonbear started about the source code, and got to thinking about something. How much money do you think it would take to buy the official and legal rights to RA2 from Atari? I'm thinking that possibly have our best modders (and anyone else willing to pitch in) get together and maybe buy the rights to RA2. That way we would get the source code, along with everything else that would be needed. This idea maybe totally insane, because they may want millions for it. But if they could care less about it anymore (which it sounds like they really don't), then they might be willing to let it go cheap. Just an idea...

True dat... unless of course he sends them a huge check alongside his complaint letter. Yeah, they would probably pay attention then. lol

I say they would be likely to sell it, because they are a business. So I highly doubt that they would just release it.
Edit: The only problem I see with a petition, though, is that that usually requires signatures. Signatures would be pretty hard to get from 3500 people from all over the world.

I'm getting a retro Duo for my Birthday. Cool, but I hope that Retro Duos are better made than FC Twins. I had an FC Twin, paid $70 for it at a local video game store (I know now that I got ripped off), but the Super Nintendo game connector broke loose, and now it's junk. I still use the controllers some though, as they are the same as a Super Nintendo controller. It's is hard as  to find an original Super Nintendo controller without all the turbo switches and crap.

Becasue this entire thread is stupid. You're actually trying to make it sound like this thing is a reality, which it is not.

Oh, well then he can write to Atari, because they still won't give a damn.

Actually, this is a surprisingly good replica.
Although, do what the others said. And make a nice skin for it, That should be fairly easy. I think it is actually Rammstein...
But other than that it's pretty good.

I get help for it. It's just that some days are worse than others.

If you want to bitch about the gameplay, write a letter to Infogrames. See if they care. Totally agreed, because they won't care. Especially since Infogrames is no longer in existence.

Anyways, I have a lot more respect for R0B0SH4RK now, but Naryar and HA... you're both upsetting The Rake. Yeah, sure. I have scarier things to worry about than a fictional "monster" that you have imagined. Like my own thoughts driving me insane to the point that I will cause harm to myself. It has happened before, and is likely to happen again.

Atari 2600 would go for thousands also. Nah, I've got 4 of them... Unless it was a Heavy Sixer, then I'm not sure.

An Odyssey 2? Nice. Yeah, but I would freakin' kill for the original Odyssey. They go for thousands an Ebay.

I get the feeling that LRA2 keeps posting crap like this just because he wants to see his post count go up...
Plus it may be that it's teaching him to count above ten. lol

I have all game consoles and handheld consoles from 1990-Now, so you could say I am a VGN(Video Game Nerd). I have: Atari VCS (2600) Odyssey 2 Sega Master System Sega Genesis Sega Dreamcast Nintendo Super Nintendo N64 Gamecube PS2 Xbox All of which are hooked up and ready to play at any time. :D So I guess I'm a video game nerd, too. Edit: And of course I have the PC...

Uh...no no. Newbs are newcomers with beginner level knowledge and social skills, whereas n00bs are people who will perpetually be plagued with the expected idiocy of newbs. There cannot be improvement with n00bs. Newbs, on the other hand, can improve and become useful. Ok then, "Most Improved Newb". Sorry for the misuse of the term...
