Subject: Re: End of Manic Miner for the NGPC
So, does this mean we cannot publish on-line more un-official sequels to Manic Miner &
JSW?
Not even for the Spectrum
Emulators?
Forgive me if the question is an stupid one, but... I have no idea about the intrincacies of the legal rights of Jester
Interactive...
Legally they could stop us if they wanted to, but they've
been reading this club for months and haven't turned
nasty yet. So I'm not planning to go underground just
yet ;-)
I trust that the worm will not turn,
as we're not selling our games for money, and we're
not damaging their economic interests - if anything,
they should be grateful for a bit of `free
advertising'. Hopefully they'll attract a new generation to
MM/JSW, too, who will go on to discover the joy of MM/JSW
editing! :-)
Unfortunately my own MM/JSW authoring
is on hold again, as I'm much busier preparing for
my PhD viva than I expected :-(
