>>If it's no longer a revenue source, why not release the source (or make it
available to someone for a fairly modest sum)?<<

(a)  I dont own the source and I didnt make Lizards.  I just
licensed it and ran it for the last bunch of years.

(b)  Even if I did make it and license it I would NEVER
make the source available.  I don't have anything against people
who do that sort of thing... good luck to them... but my source code is
MY source code.  Even in a game that has stopped making money
the source is still valuable... often representing years of work.
That source helps us turn out new games year after year... and
we're in business here.  Its a nice business yeah... but not *that* nice.
Just my personal opinion of course.

>>  If it's possible to convert
the game to email, I bet someone (or some few) would be more than happy to
run free or next-to-free games.<<

It *is* ... and I bet they would.
Does the term 'over my dead body' fit here?  I think so. <grin>

The more games there are out there and running, the larger your potential
player base is for the next generation of games!
