Well this is indeed a good point. The code for the game is, the graphics are, and the music is copyrightable. But the game in total is more of an 'abstract' thing. This is hard to grasp. This is my point exactly. Making a clone of a game might not be best ethics, but it's as legal as the thousands of SF books that are just Lord Of The Rings clones :) > >All for I know, they only were about the name 'Tetris'.

All for I know, they only were about the name 'Tetris'. If you make a Tetris-clone called 'spinning dropping blocks' there is as far as I know no way to sue you, except as 'bullying'.

(right, TFH? :P) Right, I guess my interpretation is a negative. Even if the copyrights were violated, just dropping the original levels and name would be enough, but then again, might as well drop the entire game. And anyway it's the author's call. I'd probably open-sourced everything except the levels :-p I just found it curious that people ask no questions about such issues.

I read the HTTP RFC's also, and indeed, I remember the same thing about Connection: close, soo I asume you are correct, this tells the client to close the connection, and then use a new connection for the next request.

Hi! I have a vg8020 msx, which due to very intensive use has some problems with it's arrow keys: They seem to be eroded a little bit, which causes a key getting stuck sometimes. Same goes for the spacebar. (I know, I played to much Nemesis ;-) and when the key gets stuck in , thats deadly) Anyway, I'm quite certain that some other persons may have encountered simular problems with keys.

Sorry for the long rambling then.

I use MESS for my msx emulation, and granted, the MSX2 emulation is still in the works, but at least it's proper code and everyone can contribute to it. Also MESS runs fullscreen, and I easily hacked in some code to take lots of screenshots which I know use to make nice animations for my website. ( http://w3.qahwah.net/joost ) Eventually I or a friend might make that feature a bit decent and prolly submit it back so everyone has it. ( For those who've never heard about opensource and free sofware principles: http://www.opensource.org http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html they are getting very important these days! ) With fMSX Marat alone is in full control of the quality/features of his program. With an opensource emulator every programmer is. E.g. I was using fMSX, and noticed the extremely ugly commandline handling. I thought: hey, thats something I can fix. Soo I went and looked for the licence. I notice it itsn't opensource, soo I didn't make the change. I know I know, some will say: I don't care about licenses, but a properly free (free as in freedom, not free as in free beer as it is now) MSX emulator is for the best of all.

Eggerland Mystery 1
Hi! I made a small tribute-site to Eggerland Mystery 1 on: http://www.qahwah.net/joost/eggerland1/ It's not yet complete, some of the passwords are still missing. (I make screenshots as I play) If you feel like commenting about it email me please :) Now I have to decide wwhat game to do next: H.E.R.O. or Magical Tree? -Joost- -- It's not whether you win or lose but how you played the game. -- Grantland Rice -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
Eggerland Mystery 1
Hi! I'm working on a website about Eggerland Mystery 1. As part of that I'm replaying the game, to make screenshots, and because it's FUN :) But right now I seem to be stuck at level 67. Searching the net reveals that other people got stuck there too. Anyone know the solution to that level?

old games
Hi! I was discussing with a friend (David Heremans, you probably know him) what games we (used to) play on our MSX. I personally played ALOT of E-L-I-T-E, but never got past rank 'deadly' without cheating. Anyone who got further? (I played like 60+ hours) I also remember that it took nearly an hour to load E-L-I-T-E from tape ;-) (If the loading didn't fail. Sometimes it failed partially, and I ended up with a wierd, but playable game) Another thing, I also remember playing two other games quite alot, for which I can't remember the name. I got them from a (official) compilation tape I bought once (8? years ago), which I no longer have. One of the games is a (platform?) game in which you are an egg on a cart, with a worm sticking out of the egg. I never finished this game. The other one starts with a spacecraft crash, and you then have to reassemble the pieces of your spacecraft core in order to take off again. The main person is a round ball guy, which can move in two modes, walk and hover. There also are teleport pots in the game, and spots to regen energy. I actually finished this game, I think with help of maps in mccm. (Or did I make my own? :) Anyone have more info on these 2 games?
