In any case, it's not so much abandoned that the owners forget to protect it, Mr. Charismatic. :bleh:

I printed up a special copy of the english language version, complete with the full color manual, which I presented to Akai-san in a public ceremony at the convention. I said "I've been a bad father, the daughter has turned out poorly. I am returning her to you now." In the tradition of the game, I returned the child to the creator at the end.

How sad.

This is the topic where I explained the reasons why we can't provide download:

Note: Princess Maker 2 is not, nor has it ever been, freeware, abandonware, or shareware. The rights to the game still belong to NineLives, Gainax, and their licensees. SoftEgg is no longer in a position to grant publication rights to anyone, but still retains the rights to its English language translation (without the source code and art). So please stop pirating the game! Thank you.

Oh well, I'll live either way. This place has lots of stuff to look at. You have the Kyrandia, I haven't played those since I was little. :nuts:
Thanks for all the help!

You know, I'd actually like to raise this issue up again. I know that there is a website from the translators saying that "Its not Abandonware, please dont host it kthx."-somethinglikethat, but eh, I dont know. They dont work to Gainax anymore, they dont have the rights for the game (or the english version for that matter), so....

We make only games available for download, which have been abandoned by their copyright owners. This one is still protected.
Princess Maker 2
This is Gainax's official site, translated from Japanese of course, there is still a support page => Link.
Also, accordingly to wikipedia there's a refined edition of P.MakerII => Link, which was released on 2004-09-30 for windows, it has improved graphics, sound quality and various other things, but basically it's the same game.

I didn't know it was still supported, or even what that sign meant. Thank you for telling me. If it is still supported maybe I can get it somehow, but now I don't know why I was told I couldn't get it anymore. Now my head hurts. 
Thanks!
