Fine.  Understood.  There are (I presume) at 'huge' amount of people out
there that spent a lot of cash on 'Superior' Software's games.  Some games
were OK, others were playable, and some were best left forgotton. Some games
were VERY good ...(Repton..)

Come on Superior - sort it out.. Have you actually pulled your head out of
you arse and actually *read* what is discussed here??  The stuff that I have
downloaded is stuff that I owned 10 years ago.  I am NOT going to pay you
another £10 so I can play it again.

I can to a point understand SS's POV, but if they aint gonna release
*anything* to the market which is obviously available, then they are landing
themseleves with a *HUGE* task to eliminate all 'copies' of their software.

Hey - hangon - I've still got a working BBC B here;  if I can get one of
those Philips 8844? monitors, I'll be cool.  Superior Software?  Come and
get your laywers round to my 'rooms' and you won't have a leg to stand on.
(and if you can't get an NHS wheelchair, then is that my fault??????)
