Hey what about Dragon's Lair II by ReadySoft? They abandoned the project
as well. I wonder, could companies like Quality Computers and or Big Red
buy the publishing rights and put them on the market. I really hate to
see all this potentially good software collect dust in some obscure
corner, forgotton and never to be seen. If it's too expensive to gain the
rights on the names how about getting the code and releasing it under a
different name.
