It has been 10 years since the games release, am I correct in saying that it is no longer under ESA protection? I remember reading that this site has a deal with the ESA that after 10 years the game is free to be put up on the site, or am I incorrect.

Techically yes... but we don't have any information on the month of its release, and that complicates things.

June, apparently! :brain:

Heh, been a while since i played this game... I will never forget the great times i've had with the aliens (Of course, they did'nt think it was that funny, but who cares what they like :bleh: ) Anyways... how many of you all get a buzz by totally overpowering the aliens hiding in the UFO's? Aaaah... all the fond memories of standing with a battalion of soldiers ready to kill everyone coming into view in less than 3 seconds

ok I might be an idiot... I can't get the game to work it just gives me a black screen...
