I...am not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, making old adventure games available again is wonderful. So is a graphical update, since there are many who will not play the original because of graphic snootiness. See EVERY remake Squeenix has done. On the other hand...as freeware? Really? What about the creators? Have you gotten permission from the Coles? What about the Williams? There is nothing on the website to indicate that they are aware of, much less support this. And I spent too much time invested in this fandom to feel entirely comfortable about it. This is not like translating a game in the hopes of building interest so the original company will import the game. It's been released HERE. The company that made it is not longer in existence, as such, but the creators are still HERE. I wonder if they ever got the rights to these games back?
