>Here's the response I got back from the owner >of these "New Atari Carts" page. >--------------------------------------------- Well, I looked at that page and have a couple of concerns. Has anyone asked "Randy" if he made those carts? If the guy at this New Atari Carts page purchased them legit, I don't think there's much anyone can do about him reselling them. :( But if he didn't buy "authorized releases" of these games, that's a completely different matter. What bothered me most, aside from the fact that this page could be blantantly stealing ROM's and burning unauthroized carts, is that I think he also stole his pictures on his page from other's web pages. I know I've seen the animated gif for Okie Dokie on another site. I never heard how that ended up in the courts, but I don't believe that copying imagines without permission is quite kosher. I don't believe you can even link to someone's page without permission, strictly speaking. The "printed directions" have also, I assume, been downloaded from the creators' web sites (or Nick's). I would encourage everyone to put a copyright notice on their pages and instructions. Can anyone ask the fellow who is burning the carts if he's already sold some? I'd be more than interested. I did manage to work on my platform game some this weekend. Boy, timing is a pain when you're drawing the playfield! I think I have a title for the final product, which, though incredibly premature, is some sort of progress. If you want to see what's going on, I have one of the versions where I start playing around with the player graphics at this addrfess: http://web.cetlink.net/~rufbo/run.bin Prepare not to be impressed and to notice the completely uneven platform widths. Ugh. I don't think it will be a problem, but I will be doing some crazy cycle counting in the near future. Just curious, Ruffin Bailey ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html Don't post pirate BINs to Stellalist.
