Designed by Delphine Software for the Amiga and Atari ST, it was a very cinematic affair, ensnaring its protagonist on an alien world, and then compelling you to suffer the same fate. I’m okay with that, because I love Another World, even if it was one of the early influences for that ostentatious “games = art” argument that sometimes crops up.
Weirdly, before talking about Blackthorne, it seems I’m going to have to talk about Another World. The only exception to this is when the companies that own the games freely make them available."Kolibri’s only real contender to the “Best 32X Game” crown." Remember when you buy any piece of software, you aren’t buying the software itself, you’re buying a license to use it and you agree to the EULA (end user license agreement) by using it.Ĭonsidering the floppy disk devices themselves that are used to create the roms in the first place are also considered mostly illegal, like modchips (with Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft all successfully filing lawsuits against the makers of those devices resulting in the companies dissolving and products being seized by customs), it really is pretty black-and-white – roms are illegal. Some laws allow you to make one backup copy of a piece of software, but this needs to be a copy of your own personal license – you’re not supposed to download a copy made by someone else and you definitely aren’t supposed to give your copy away or put it on the internet for other people to download. Game roms you have downloaded, regardless of whether you own the original cartridge, are illegal. In some circles downloading a digital copy is thought to be kosher if you own the game in some other form (the original cartridge, for example).
But game ROMs occupy a fussy grey area, legally speaking.
