Thumbs up from Revolution

[Harrison]

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.

[Harrison]

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!"

[J T]

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.

[AlexJ]

Thanks Revolution! Two great games there and a stance that I wish other companies would take.

[toomanymikes]

That is so cool. What a great attitude to have! If I had a company that published Amiga games and someone wanted to host them now then I defo would allow them.

[Sharingan]

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.

[Harrison]

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.

[Submeg]

Cool, that is quite excellent of them!
