They had such great stuff. I assume they closed their "virtual doors" because noone bought any of their games (including myself...always 'planned' on it) :( I guess you never really know what you have until it is gone. Sorry I didn't buy one, Champ. 2> Do you think another attempt at such a company would be feasible? I mean, if I were to start making old 80s clones (or maybe bring back life into the genre), do you think people would buy them? How much would you guys pay for a Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Popeye, Dig Dug, etc.? I mean only downloads...no floppies. Of course the games would have to be fun as hell to play. $2.50 (US), $4? $5? $10? Any info would be great. Sure would be nice to pull out some of my old source code!! -Chuck U. Farley
