IAmSinistar: Even better if GOG could release it with It Came From the Desert.
Have they removed all the downloads on their site? I remember that most of their games were downloadable as freeware last year.

It looks like they have. I suspect a lot of their energy is going into bringing their games back as tablet releases. I'd like to see more of them for Android, such as the aforementioned game and Defender Of The Crown.

But yes, I hope they do finally restore the downloads. Or Hell, even let GOG sell/give them.

Well, at least it's good to know that it was done for restructuring purposes, rather than some business decision. It's always kind of weird when a company distributes a game as freeware for years and then suddenly decides to yank it (such as the case with EA and Ultima IV, before it was made available again on GOG). Not that I really begrudge them for it, since it's their product and they're free to do with it what they want, but it's just kind of... sad, I guess. Especially if the games aren't even made commercially available after that.

The really nice thing about Cinemaware's downloads was that they offered a wide variety of versions for a lot of their titles: Amiga, DOS, C64, NES etc., most of which wouldn't even be available (legally, at least), if they were sold on GOG. I also hope they return one day, even though I still have all those files from their site.

I do wish Cinemaware the best of luck when it comes to their mobile re-releases, since a lot of their games have an incredibly unique and captivating approach to structure and design and it would be really great if a wider audience was introduced to those.

Only if we got the Amiga version, it was x-times better than the pc one.

Lol, was about to say the same. Who knows, hopefully the Wings-remake they are currently working on is going to be a success, and they turn their attention to IcftD and Ant Heads, which I never played.

Oh, I'm in, btw,
thx and +1, Licurg!

You might consider tweeting Jeff Skalski about your interest in the game, too - https://twitter.com/Jeff_Skalski (Or Paul Barnett, but I'm too lazy to link to him :P)
