elTee Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Surely the Japanese Ebay will have some of these FM towns games. Isn't there a way to emulate them on PC if they're on CD? It wouldn't be illegal I think, as long as you bought the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 There may be a way of finding an emulator and the rom somewhere. You really should own the original game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casa Addams Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 I know this is gonna open up a whole FLOOD of replies, but there is appearantly a FM-Towns Monkey Island 1 too. I ****ing hate you! You just killed my last bit of life... Zak McKracken: Ohmygod!!! Interesting Indiana Jones 3: Not again FM-Towns! Loom: Nooooooo! Monkey1: Arrghhhh..... Now I will never sleep again! Never! Buhuuuhuuuuu.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercatfat Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I'd like to see proof of any FM Towns game besides Zak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casa Addams Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 Originally posted by mercatfat I'd like to see proof of any FM Towns game besides Zak. Proof? Well... can't. But on the Zak FM-Towns CD were demos of Indy and Loom. You can see the folders in the ripped version I got but no actual data. And the music is on their (last two songs).

mercatfat Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Scabb, I see no other LA games on that page.. that's all I was looking for. I wouldn't think Zak would be the only game for the system . Perhaps Zak did poorly and the ports of the other 2 never came to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casa Addams Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 ? Well.. you can see the INDYLOOM folder, right? And you will belive me that the music is on the CD, right? Seems pretty clear to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercatfat Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Strange.. The interactive timeline says Indy3 and Loom were both on FM Towns, yet Zak gets no mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannar85 Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Yeah I know Scabb, they look beautiful! I own the original Zak game, and I bought it. Then one day someone posted about this FM-TOWN version, and I downloaded it. If we own the original game, then we can download the FM-TOWN version, eh? I'm not sure, but I wanted to ask you guys. There's only a few versions of the FM-TOWN game in existence, and then we can download it as long as we own the original? If not, I'll delete it right away - I promise. So what should I do? Should I keep it if I own the original. (Hmm... I don't think I have the original floppy anymore because I lost it. I found it on my old computer though (moved it to the old HD before I lost it)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casa Addams Posted August 27, 2002 Author Share Posted August 27, 2002 You copied it? Are you insane??? Thats a pirated copy! It is ILLEGAL! Oh my god.. I think I just wet myself! You are disgusting! People like you make me sick! What's next? Rape? Murder? God I'm pissed! Casa.addams P.S. Can I get a copy too? I have Zak original in many different versions and I thought...

I have Zak original in many different versions and I thought... Uhm... No, sorry. Was offended by the words you said I was. So no, I'm not going to distribute it because it's still illigal, and I only downloaded it because I owned the original game. I'll delete it if (anyone else) tells me to do it, because I don't like warez....and I DID not copy it! It wasn't me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casa Addams Posted August 27, 2002 Author Share Posted August 27, 2002 You got to be kidding me! It was a joke! God I hate people who do not think! 1. LucasArts is (now) a bloodsucking commercial company who did lost all its feeling for good adventuregames and for its fans. 2. Zak McKracken FM-Towns version is not sold anymore. So if you would (be so lucky and) buy Zak McKracken LucasArts wouldn't see a dollar. 3. Zak McKracken FM-Towns version does not belong to LucasArts but to Fujitsu Co. So if (what is so incredible unlikely) LucasArts would even spend a single moment on the thought about rereleasing the FM-Towns version they would drop the thought right away because they just CAN'T. Same applys to Loom CD, Indy3 FM-Towns and so on. Altough it would sure be illegal and "your" Zak McKracken is indeed a pirated copy or "warez" that you hate so much (lol). So I would say delete it and save yourself a place in heaven. God bless the simple minds for they do not have to question so many things in this world. Amen Grrrrr pfew... no I feel better. Casa.addams P.S. I do think that Software Companys should be rewarded for their work! But in case of Zak McKracken FM-Towns(!!!) it is plain rediculous to talk about pirated copies...

Ben Whatsisname Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 jannar85, it is warez. Delete it. If you did not purchase the game from FMTowns, or secondhand on original cd, it is illegal to own. I know it seems cool to hide under the cover of "I own the original Zak, so I can download all the other versions" or "It's abandonware", but both concepts are false. It is the same as saying "I bought Windows 3.1, so it's ok for me to warez all subsequent versions" I am trusting you to keep your word about deleting it, ok? Originally posted by Casa Addams You got to be kidding me! It was a joke! God I hate people who do not think! Then it appears you have a small problem defining "think", as shown below.

So I would say delete it and save yourself a place in heaven. God bless the simple minds for they do not have to question so many things in this world. Actually, it would be saving him from a heavy fine, possible jail time (yes, they actually do this - the fine for copying a certain CAD/Cam package used to be a $10,000 fine and 5 years in prison, minimum), as well as losing the feeling of "doing the right thing" Originally posted by Casa Addams P.S. I do think that Software Companys should be rewarded for their work! But in case of Zak McKracken FM-Towns(!!!) it is plain rediculous to talk about pirated copies... Unless FM-Towns puts the .iso up on the internet on their website with the word "Freeware" written below the download link, it is software piracy. Now, the Mojo/LucasArts fan community has always had a "no warez" rule in effect and you two should know that by now. Can we consider this warez discussion closed, or do I need to request that the thread be locked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Your local law enforcement! I totally agree though Ben, so don't get me wrong. But I feel obliged to point out that LucasArts used to recomend you use a copy of the disks and store them on you hard drive too. In case of corruption or anything.
