Its not free ware or abandon ware. It was a college project that got
its rewards in 2003 and the grads left it at that.
Nothing has ben updated on game or even any info on requirements or
game play. Just the sound files on the download page.
If you read the docs, and I see by the questions NO! You would of
found that it states not free ware and does have a link to buy it.
However it just takes you back to the same site as download.
Also if you bothered to look at the files on install and in docs.
That tells why it works on some and why not other computers.
This game is a perfect example of being left behind with useless
software. With todays higher grade of computer. The files it tries to
install is direct x 5 and 3D support that is very general. Well that
3D support is in 640 by 800 and not many machines run that mode
today. So there is one glitch that can stop a system. With all the
useless software in it just for play. I am surprised that it even
worked on my system and did blue screen me to death!
The perfect reason for keeping the code up to date on any game!

Hi Michael.
there is nothing on the blog or anywhere else saying that the game
is freeware, and the version and setup file seem the same as they
always were, but equally your right, there are no links to buy it
anymore either.
I personally think it's just that they haven't finished with the
site and haven't put a paypal button there, sinse if the game was
freeware I assume there would be some sort of message, but I suggest
you check to be certain either by leaving a comment on the blog or
by e-mailing thomas with the address in the terraformers' manual.
Beware the grue!

Hi all,
I have a question regarding the game.
Originally it was Shareware, where you needed to buy it and would
get a file you had to copy somewhere.
Then the original site went offline for a while. And now they are
back, but when I went to it there were download links, but no info
or warning that what I could download was shareware.
So, what is the current status of the game? Can it now be played
without limits, or is there still the need to buy it and if so,
where is it done?
