Correct me if I'm wrong but my copy also read 'copyright Revelation
software' but was not a pirate version - in fact i think it might have been
sent to me as a review copy - so perhaps this is how you got yours Aley.
The SAM scene was rife with pirating anyway, so any attempt to sue would not
stand a chance ! It is only Bob who has ever pretended to make a living out
of it, and when it came to sellgin pirate copies of softwae he was the
biggest culprit of them all.
Not that piratig software is necessarilt the right thing to do. But just
that asking 15 quid for a game that you could get in the Amiga PD library
for a quid always seemed like unrealistic - if the games were a bit cheaper
maybe those who did copy games would have been more incliined to buy them.
{ I dealt with Kassoft directly on it after SAMCo's demise.

{ Oh, and contrary to Bob's accusation of my "stealing information from
{ SAMCo's filing cabinets" - I got his contact details via the man
{ who ran SAM
{ Paper diskzine.....

Bob just got a strop on cos he couldnt own the whole SAM world. So what if
you did get an address from SAMCo (which I dont belive you did, i must
add) - surely he's just pissed off because he didn't have the common sense
to do it anyway, and if he had made the programmers a better offer then they
would have signed to his Rvelation label. The man was a cry baby who sulked
whenever he never got his own way and for all the good he did for SAM (and
he did do some) he did as much damage with his tantrums and name calling.
If I'm a little verbose tonight it's because that good old English bloke
Sven has just led our team to a 3-0 win. Come on the boys!
