Another long dead company who's name has been bought and resold in and out of bankruptcy....

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.

The original Cinemaware went belly up in 1991.  There's an interview with the original folks here: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/26583/Interview_Bob_Jacob_On_The_Cinemaware_Era.php

Some guy named Lars Fuhrken-Batista bought the name and ip and had a six year run with it from 2000-2005.  

He sold it to egames.

What's interesting is that eGames.com and Cinemaware.com are using different services to hide their identity.  But can you have a "director's cut" if the "directors" (Bob and Phyllis Jacobs) are not involved?
