YES. Why have they not gotten the source code for this?

>> No.1143236

>>1143223
Because they are still selling it.

A lot of good that'll do on a 64 bit system.

>It isn't viable for us to make newer versions of the game or port it to other platforms and we re-used the Artificial Intelligence from Inner Space in every project since then so we cannot release the source code.

I honestly don't understand what they are on about.

I've never played this shit, I was on a Mac at the time. Any good? Downloading the demo.

yeah fuckin' a. I was checking out Ambrosia's page earlier and they still expect to turn over their old games that only run on System 7-OS9 for $25. What. The fuck.

They need to bring backwards compatability to 64-bit operating systems. I went absolutely apeshit when I found out I couldnt play games like Castle of the Winds anymore, now that I have Windows 7.

Wait, was this the game where you browsed your own hdd and the icons\.exe's were the enemies?

If so, I had a demo as a kid and thought it was the coolest shit ever.

At least Spiderweb released Exile as Freeware last year and before that they were demaning like $20 for the entire trilogy.

I play Castle of the Winds on x86 Windows 7. I chose definitely not to go to x64 so I could play old games.
