News Update on 2005-12-01
December 01, 2005
Ah, it feels like old times right now. I've got a game of <b>Maniac Mansion</b> going, a case of coke, and a bunch of computer problems with my CD-ROM that I can't figure out.
<p>
But what really brings me back into the good old days is Zaboo's and Marhasen's recent group of websites. Their first website Abandonware Central turned out to have a stolen design from a popular gaming website in the Netherlands - which wasn't a "huge" deal for me. I simply, politely, asked Marhasen to change it, or informed him I couldn't list the site here. This turned out to be a mistake, because it landed me in a ~1 hour conversation about how the design was not stolen and it simply (in a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 chance) came to look exactly like the other sites design.
<p>
That was not e ough, however, as the new website submitted to us today from Zaboo, Hardcore Abandonware (lol), has stolen Abandonia descriptions. Now they didn't take the whole description at least, he cut out 1-2 paragraphs from each, but didn't re-phrase them at all. A simple Google search turned up the matches word for word.
