Basically:
If the game is at least five years old and not sold by it's copyright owner it could be considered abandonware. But some companies (like LucasArts) still don't allow for some of the games to be added - even if they themselves don't sell the game any more. Now Rose Tatoo was made by Electronic Arts - and the CD I have says made in EU, so the ESA copyright protection laws shouldn't aply - that means it probably IS bandoned and would be OK for an upload.
However the game is big and for games that are too big to go into the regular section there's a special VIP longe. If everybody would be downloading large game archives we'd run out of bandwide...
In order to become a VIP however you must contribute. The fastest way is to do reviews. Just check out the Importaint anouncments section in the forums! So far 2 reviews were required to get a VIP, but generally you had to be helpful around the forums and not just a one request wonder...
EDIT: I see some posts got up while I was typing this. This is an excelent game, but not your everyday adventure. You have to think really hard! I never had to look at something until my eyes droped down, but you need certain information to know what to look for. If you find something you must figure out what it is, if it's relevant to the case and if it can help you any further! Get's frustrating, but only because it's not easy - it requires thinking - unlike most other adventures, where you must usually do the most absurd thing in order to prevail - I like those too, they're funn, but this one is a notch tougher and if you ask me - better (not neceserally more popular, but simply better)!!!
