Which brings up an interesting point: Why do the self
appointed software
cops go after software archives of "abandonware" that most of today's
computers usually run too fast anyway? Do these ancient games really hurt
todays software market? Anything 10 years old or older should be
freeware/public domain as far as games are concerned. They don't increase
productivity, and the collectors of these old games aren't doing any harm
are they?
Well, frogger is a good example of why not. I see they're bringing it out
again.
Copyrights are what? 37 years? As someone who produces intellectual
property (Photos and -- occasionally -- software), I appreciate copyright
protection.
Can't tell you why the self appointed software cops go after 'em...maybe
because they're easy?

I played a demo of the new Frogger on my Playstation, it's NOTHING like the
original! Give me the original any day, it was all on the screen at one
time!
