868.0. "ARKANOID Demo" by ANGORA::SMCAFEE (Steve McAfee) Mon Nov 02 1987 09:50

    
    I was on Discovery Software's BBS last night to check for Brain
    file 9 (wasn't there yet by the way) and I DL a copy of their
    Arkanoid demo.  It does look pretty good.  It's not at all playable,
    purely visual.  There isn't any mention of how freely distributable
    this is.  Do you think I can upload it legally?  Is anyone interested
    in seeing it?  This game goes for the steep price of 49.95, but
    you can get $5.00 off direct from discovery.

868.1	Upload it!	CSC32::J_PARSONS		`Mon Nov 02 1987 10:58`	1
	I'd like to see the demo if you decide it's OK to distribute it.
868.2	It is in the free section of their BBS	TLE::RMEYERS	Randy Meyers	`Mon Nov 02 1987 19:04`	4
	Re: .0 The demo is freely redistributable. After all, it is an advertisement, and they want everyone to see it.

	I uploaded the demo with XMODEM and put it in: ant::bipolar:[smcafee.public]arkdemo.arc I'll leave it there for a week or so before I delete it. it might be worth a look if you're interested in the game... - steve mcafee

	My disk has since been changed to LIB1 and it's still there: ant::lib1:[smcafee.public]arkdemo.arc If you've seen the game before in the arcade you may not want to bother. Supposedly it's fairly similar to the actual game. - steve
