I can't print
what I think of them for threatening you like they did. But they posted to this club on
25th February 2001, so unless they're completely blind, they know about the `unofficial'
sequels for the Spectrum, so it's fairly safe to say that if they were going to take action
against the Spectrum emulation scene, they would have done so by now.

You mean the screenshots at
http://www.jesterinteractive.co.uk/press/media_packs/jsw_manic.html target=new>http://www.jesterinteractive.co.uk/press/media_packs/jsw_manic.html> ? They're just the original MM/JSW, and we see those sprites all too often in the
sequels ;-)

Of course, if anyone did sell any part of the Broadsoft games for money,
they'd be facing dreadful `sueage'! ;-)
