The Adventures of Willy Beamish
« on: January 28, 2002, 03:25:51 PM »
I need to get ahold of this game!!! Its a classic 1991 adventure game for PC, and I used to own it, but I have lost the disc\'s, and have no idea as to where they are.

Does anyone else have this game? You can\'t buy it anymore, and its only 5 discs.

I know its wrong, but anyone got cable :)

you can olny "download" a game legaly if the copyright is out due to the factthat the publuisher is NO MORE.

For example you can download Elite 2 but only for 30 days and then you have to submit a form to register it with David Bramin\'s company "fronter projects"

try the offical websites for Iegal advice first ok matey .

:D :D :D

I have that game, for the PC and the SegaCD. It\'s great, but I think Dynamix could have done a little better with the Nintari segments. They should have been full fleged mini games like AstroChicken was in the SQ4 arcade.

Anyhow, Sierra holds all the copyrights to Willy and dosen\'t look to be letting go anytime soon. Nor are they offering it in any bundles or anthology packs. AFAIK, Jeff Tunnell is no longer with Dynamix and has no desire to purchase the rights either. If you ever want to lay your grubby little mitts on this game again, then yer best bet is to either go on a nationwide roadtrip of software bargain-bins and garagesales... or pirate it from an Abandonware site.

Personally, I\'d choose the latter..  but only because it\'s no longer sold and supported. Contact Sierra through their website at http://www.sierra.com and ask if they have any old copies of it laying around their warehouses. Also, you may try getting a calling card and calling the front desk at Dynamix (541) 343-0772) to see if they can assist you in finding a copy. If they can\'t, PM me and I\'ll *ahem* see what I can do to help.

[edit]

I can\'t believe they\'re still using this as their company logo. Just stick with the /S design and quit playing off of peoples nostalgia for a company that doen\'t even exist anymore. :rpissed: :rpissed: :rpissed: Fukking corperate vultures...
