So while I was supposed to be sleeping, I remembered one of my old childhood games, Rings of the Magi. A pretty fun, somewhat slow paced puzzle game that I would describe as a bit of sokoban with a lot of the bull boiled out of it and a sliding puzzle game. So I decided to check up on the creator, MVP Software.

And much to my mild shock, this is the page that greets me.

I don't know if they went under, simply called it quits, or what, but I'm a little shocked.

Still, while I am aware that the game I recall isn't exactly racing on the wishlist, I do smell a mild opportunity for GOG. (and you, the audience at home)

You see, while MVP Software is out of the business, that site has registered games, unregistered shareware, and a contact link. You could try them out, and if you like them, hit them up with the proposition of a resurrection VIA GOG.

MVP gets to come back, and GOG gets a collection of new old games to sell! Win Win!

Also, I might be craving more OLD complete games.

Edit: I composed an email gently asking them to consider submitting here.

from the looks of it they called it quits

my google fu is failling me because mvp means something else >>https://effectivesoftwaredesign.com/2014/11/02/the-minimum-viable-product-and-incremental-software-development/
making looking for mvp software the games maker trickssy

but considering they are basically giving away their games they seem to have just called it quits

Shame, I must say though, its very decent of them to leave the software up for download. Most just disappear.

Yeah, I tried one of the old card games, and it'd appear the 64-bit switch hit them hard. Didn't realize so many of the games were 16 bit.

Yes, but you never know how long that may last. I thought GOG might want to approach them for some free catalogue padding.

Don't know how gOg can pass up the opportunity to release a game titled "Pickle Wars".

Pickle Wars is...interesting. And different. Your primary weapon is a salad shooter.
Also, it has Bobby Prince music.

HOLY SHIT! *runs to site*

I really loved this game when I was a kid.

I'm glad someone did.

I'm totally down with this being an official martial art.

Looks like they closed their doors sometime around June of 2014.

Here is the last version of their website that was archived before closing:

Thanks for following the MST3K philosophy. c:

Yeah, that's what my memory says the website looked like last I checked.
