I find it quite annoying that this magazines never bother to ask the creators of the game whether they want their games disturbed.

OF course, I would be too, but still, it's not right to do something like that.

Can't really blame them for taking the licence connotations of Freeware as they're usually taken.

Lesson is, always include a readme about yourself so credit is retained.

there's a readme in there, and my name is mentioned

i'd be willing to pay for the magazine if someone would be willing to send it

eric loves whoever this person is

Know which issue?

It was given away on a disc on the front of PC
Explorer magazine in the UK. Hence i should imagine
half of Britain is playing it. Keep up the good work
Eric.

You can buy individual issues there. There's only one every 2 months, and it's presumably the latest

Eric I don't know, but I swear that I had seen something very similar to the scan you posted in the AGS forums long long time ago, I have bad memory, maybe it's not for 6da, it's for AGS or some other game (though I seemed to have remember it's 6da, maybe it's just another of my dreams foretelling teh future...).
