Hi Michael, I to am a classic arcade nut. I was a very happy child blasting away in asteroids, centipede, packman, Pitfall, Montezuma's Revenge, etc however I had enough sight to get in to some of the later PC games as well. Back in 1982 or so one of my favorite arcade games was Star Wars Empire Strikes Back, ESB, and I spent countless hours flying my speader around shooting AT walkers, and so on. You can count on me wanting to redo that game in accessible format. However, according to this thread using SW logos and sounds is wrong. That puts me in between a rock and a hard place A game I enjoyed can't be braught to bare do to copyrights. I think the same copyrights that governs ESB apply to packman, Montezuma's Revenge, and in the end if we always play by the rule books the accesible game community will have to totally rethink our strategy. I was fortunate to live with sight long enough to get in to the PC games and being a SW fan many of them I purchased were of the Star Wars titles. I really hate owning copies of games I can no longer play. I'd love to wrip the sounds out and recreate the game with an accessible design.
