There is a link in another topic about BSC games. It has the unlock code generator, the media components, and the games. It should still work, unless the new virus program I got deleted it from my dropbox folder. If this link doesn't work, use the one in the other topic.

*sighs*

As Justin from BSC Games did not make them "abandonware," you "technicly" can not share them, even if you bought them.

And where AudioGames.net is concernned, its a slippery slope when it comes to these types of things...

With that said, I shall say no more.

Jaybird is absolutely correct, they are abandonware, I think they could be distributed freely unless Justin has a problem with this (not very likely.)

Hi. Sorry if this is getting off topic, but i installed troopanum 1.5 and 1.6. Both of them gave me an error about the dll file that i just put somewhere, it was in the wmaudioredist folder. Can someone tell me where to put it, so the computer knows that it's there? Also, when i launched the config program for one of them, it said msaudio.o-c-x or one of it's dependencies is not correctly installed. Can someone help me with these problems? Thanks! I am using windows 7 32 bit.

Moderation!

Abandonware and being abandoned are! in fact two different things, and copywrite does not expire just because the copywrite holder happens to not be in business anymore, heck after all Justin could start up and sell these tomorrow.

So  no links to download bsc games are allowed on the db, and if there happen to be any on the forum well I haven't noticed them, and of course if Justin ever asked I'd need to remove them and probably issue warnings to those who posted them.

Same goes for the bavisoft games. However, bare in mind even if anyone did happen to post some links without my noticing, the rule about not posting links to get anything currently on sale for free still stands, and anyone trying to do such would be in dire trouble (and would be noticed pretty quickly).

Btw Boy, I thought I noticed a link to download the bsc games in your second post and went to remove it, however on reflection I was wrong.

Ok so this is the deal. Abandonware stuff is stuff that the owner doesn't care enough about to say hey, I'm not offering this anymore. The owner is literally trashing it either physically or just moving on in their lives. So, while copyright can be attached to something that's abandonware, it's unlikely that it will be defended because the owner doesn't care about it anymore. It's not like you are pirating music and movies and the record company comes down on you on behalf of the artist. you're not pirating abandonware if you choose to download it, you're just downloading a piece of software that the owner doesn't support. That's like if i went onto 3D realms' site and found Terminal Velocity and Duke Nukem 3D for sale, then found those games on an abandonware site and downloaded them for free on the abandonware site, that's piracy, however if there is no option to legally purchase them and you find them on an abandonware site, then that is not pirating, thats just downloading abandonware software. Also, its worth checking the license because if the copyright is out of date, there isn't a damn thing they can do about it. At least in the States. I know there are other countries in which any content created by someone is instantly copyrighted, but its not that way in the states, you need to buy a copyright license. but then you get into the origin of the thing, which country the site is hosted in, pyisically. It can get complicated, but if you're in good old 'merica, its simpler.

Well what Jaybird says about copywrite is true, though to be honest the law isn't my concern here.

The reason I say just because something isn't sold at the moment doesn't mean it can't be distributed is due to something far simpler. How many people would go onto pcs games or draconis and say "hay, I'm getting a 404, the game is not on sale so it's abandonware lets have a copy?" or still worse, "Draconis haven't sold anything for years, can we pirate their games then?" Lets be honest this sort of thing does, and would happenn. It gives people a very nice little getout for piracy and makes the site rules regarding supporting developers more ambiguous than they need to be.

Yes, people will always pirate games, but as I've said before this site exists to support developers, and while rules can be flexible supporting developers is the basic point here, and making sure that if  someone is! posting links to stuff that  was on sale, it's done in a way that makes sense  within the purpose of what audiogames.net is here for, ---- assuming someone is of course.

Adel,  as I said this is only vaguely to do with copywrite law really, particularly sinse copywrite laws have  gone a bit crazy in a lot of ways. My concern is always for developers of audiogames, and for what is best to support them in the community, hence why this site is still against stealing other people's games, but why I'm not looking too hard at people redistributing the Bsc and bavisoft games on the forum sinse your right, having these entirely unavailable would be a bad thing.

The reason the database can't give links is simply one of bad press sinse I don't want other developers, or indeed players believing the site is there to distribute stuff for free, or as I said for members to start unilaterally deciding that such and such is now abandonware for themselves.

use the folloing link:
