Thank you for such a great product

Glad you liked it. I still have fond memories of working on it.

Congrats Robin.


Thanks! Always a surprise and a pleasure seeing my stuff on here



Thank you for saving my time


Wonder what Motorola thinks of this.


What GPU?


It'll be my next if it works


Same here.


I pirated this as a kid.

I've probably bought 10 different versions in the meantime to make up for it


I was playing demo dozens of times. I do not think it was even possible to buy it via legitimate sources at that time where I lived. Great memories when I was finally beat the first ep boss.


Make up for what? I don’t get it.


For illegally copying software.


Prior to the DMCA, copyright violations were a grey area. In most countries, in order to seek damages a company had to show users were selling copies or using IP for promotional purposes.

Now... people are using the same RIAA/DMCA laws to hijack youtube channel content from legitimate creators. The damage to publishers is done by the time it is sorted out.

As a business, it has always been better to go after distribution channels rather than squeezing customers. =3

What splinter cell thing did you see?


There was an article on here recently I think about someone trying to reverse engineer the Xbox version but it was really tricky because everything seemed to be serialised Unreal objects or something like that.


Wasn't he hounded by users as usual?


Yeah and he didn't want to deal with receiving death threats for working on a passion project. Which I guess is considered being "emotionally unstable".


I have no knowledge of this instance, but death threats and being attacked and stalked online tends to cause emotional instability.
