I just dug threw my pile of floppy disks and I found a disk with TankWars and Chopper on the same disk. I can't find the origional disk, but I don't recall modifying this copy. So my question is, is it legal to post copies of old shareware games on our own site? Cause if it is, I got a bunch I can put up.
Hey, that's the DEFINITION of Shareware. :) Pass it around for people to try.
If it's the original, unmodified distribution package, it's completely legal for us to redistribute that. As Steve says, it's the definition of SHAREware.
If the zip file has been modified from the original, it may or may not be legal. If the files are re-arranged, or if you've included a savegame, but all the original files are still there (none missing) it's probably still okay. If any original files are missing, probably not.
And I remember Chopper. Great fun! :-)
