Vulcan Software Limited and Amiga, Inc. announce new relationship

[Akiko]

Just purhased Tiny Troops from Amiga.com. Installation was quick and painless, no requirement to mess with any configuration settings, simply click the icon and go! Hope this is just the beginning of many more titles to come.
So in all I'm pleased with my £2.50 purchase, Tiny Troops is a great game, maybe i'll complete it this time around :-)

WOW is right, I can't think of a better way to rip people off.
People that are buying this are not to bright.

I bet there are lots of folks that don;t even realize that amiga or vulcan don;t own these games....

[Piru]

@guru-666

Vulcan doesn't own them? If not, who does?

[Donar]

According to HOL it was Developed by Synapse, maybe Vulcan/AMIGA Inc.(ompetent) bought the rights - or they are selling erm "Abandonware"!?

[jj]

As vulcan have been a going concern all the time and have even ported the games to pc and have i believe offered the games for download at some point on their site for the Amiga, how the f00k can they be abadonware.  Oh and BTW there is no such thing legally ,  Vulcan still own the right to the games you bunch of idiots

[Donar]

You don't realise that we are talking about "Mindwalker" in the AMIGA shop? Do you?

how the f00k can they be abadonware. Oh and BTW there is no such thing legally

Ok sorry i did not want to say that AInc may be selling illegal/pirate copies of old games over the internet for money, so i used the word "Abandonware". But maybe they just have an Agreement with the copyright holder.

vulture software and mr bill "scammer" mcewen's amiga inc are selling abadonwarez, there is no doubt about that. they even grab screen shots from other sites for godsake!... all they uses is their romz... i bet if you even take a close look at the adf you will see the games are cracked... if all this is legal there should be included a readme file. that are at least 20 pages with info about who owns what, who leased what rigths etc etc etc...

Is this what this thread needs? At least if your critizism had been constructive, but you are just going on and on and on without even trying to keep up with reality. Cracked? Well, prove it, then! Even so, if the games would be cracked, the crack in the first place were illegal. It's not like Vulcan would be stealing the 'crackers' hard work earning money on it (but that is a completely different discussion).

They can't be selling abandonware, since there is no such thing as 'abandonware', legally speaking. Not minding MindWalker (don't know what's the deal with that game) but it is perfectly possible that Vulcan still owns the rights to distribute the games they haven't developed themselves. As for the games they have developed themselves, of course they have the right to sell them (which I highly doubt Magnussoft has, considering one can find many many games on the Amiga Classix series, many even from defunct companies... and how on earth would he get a license to stuff that many games on the collections and charging a bargain for it? No sane company in the world would allow that kind of exploit).

What is your point (and why on earth is this kind of ranting tolerated at all - moderators)?

Look, I'm very bright and own some of these games already in my Amiga collection.  I purchased them because of the promise they hold.  I was able to show my wife some of these games without having to boot up one of my Amigas or fire up my Amiga Forever and load up the ADF.  She sat next to me and I double-clicked on the icon and it worked quickly and correctly the first time.

This is, IMHO, nothing but a positive for letting people not "into" the Amiga or people who may be coming back to the Amiga after a long time away and don't know how or want to know how to setup emulation or purchase a classic Amiga, if they don't have one God forbid  :-P  , to play some of classic games.  

I hope the best for Amiga Inc. on this and if they offer more at this great pricing I'll buy some more.  Just try buying a copy of a classic Amiga game off Ebay for 5$ US not including shipping.  Good luck on that!

Could this be why Back2Roots vanished ? I remember some of the mods being pissed about AInc staff threatening them ... I think we should do a new adf site

>but I also don't think all this negative feedback
>here on Amiga.org is good for any of us.

I love bashing AInc.! Bill is sitting in his empty rooms and crying...

BillMcEwen could work together with the community the last 5 years! Now starting to support classic and the amiga line again is the only reason because noone want or need anywhere(tm), but classic/amiga users are still out there...

If BILL really wants to work with the communiy, he still has my adress from the german laywers. ;-)

Hi, guys.
I know I haven't posted here for years, but I am constantly checking things out here.
I am, as most of us are, very disilusioned with all the things here (I told my friends years ago that I'm to have A1 + OS4 in a few months...).
So it's very undersandable (and smart) to be sceptical, but some of the bashing seems simply for the sake of bashing.
It's like some of us here are seeking vengance.
For what? do you really think that AInc don't want to succeed? Do we have a contract with them that they breeched?
We don't, and they haven't.
it seems to me they are trying their best (albeit it's not much...) to do things.
So let's give them some slack, and bash them on THIS issue AFTER they screw up on THIS issue.

Every partnership Amiga has, with potential funds, is good.

As for the new hardware (a diferent strand), it seems good enough.
And the price is understandable (low production numbers).

And lastly, I appologise for any spelling mistakes. English is not my native tongue.
