Different version it may be, but that doesn't make them subject to different protection status.

and what's wrong with the himbo version? it's a part of history too. that's why this game has always been considered so controversial after all...

I agree with this, yet if any of you desire to continue the discussion on this, make a thread on this game in the Favourite Oldies and Newbies section so that you will be able to talk about the game some more.

SimCopter

[PROTECTED] until October 31st, 2011 by Electronic Arts, Inc.

The game is not protected since 31.10.2011.
However, it is still sold on Amazon.com.

I think the game should remain 'rejected'.

Hey all,

I'm new to the forum, but glad to be a part of Abandonia.

So, SimCopter is no longer under copyright protection (see SimCopter [SOLD] forum post under Rejected Requests), however it is still being sold, that is for Windows.

I was wondering, considering that no one sells the DOS version (at least when I Google-ed it yesterday) if the DOS version would qualify as abandoned, and thus be uploaded?

Cheers,

D

We consider the DOS and Windows versions to be the same item for the purpose of sold status.

[Professor Oak]

Recheck status.

[Cluseck]

Sold only on Amazon Marketplace (also on the British and the German ones.)

I think we can label this as 'approved'.
