I contacted Revolution Software last week to ask about the legality of hosting their two Amiga games for download on classicamiga, and today I received a confirmation email back from Tony Warriner of Revolution Software saying that it is OK for us to host the two games.
So I will be adding Beneath a Steel Sky and Lure of the Temptress to the site for download today. :)
That is great news. Perhaps add it to the news, so that people can see it.
Yep. I will do once the games are available on the main site.
Here is part of the reply from Tony:
"It's great that you are helping keep them alive with your site!"
Cool! It's good to see them happy to keep the spirit alive rather than quibbling over rights to games that increasingly few are even aware of.
This is an approach I would love to see some other companies take to retro games, on all systems.
:thumbs: Thanks Revolution! Two great games there and a stance that I wish other companies would take.
That is so cool. What a great attitude to have! :D If I had a company that published Amiga games and someone wanted to host them now then I defo would allow them.
Wow, excellent stuff. I never got to complete Lure of the Temptress because one of my game disks was broken. The game would always crash as I proceeded into the castle part. One of the best adventures I'd played on the Amiga.
Lure of the Temptress was a great game. One of the first to try and use a working day/night system where in game characters would go about their daily lives based on the time of day. The story was also pretty good with a lot of variety. I've not played it myself since I completed it many years ago, but remember enjoying it a lot.
Cool, that is quite excellent of them! :)
