This is really interesting news - has anyone been able to track down the original authors and inquired as to their opinion on supporting the port (possibly with source code or other insights) or even re-issuing the game as freeware?
MobyGames page for the game, a good place to start for anyone trying to find the developers: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/touch ... -musketeer
Edit: It seems C64 legend Ben Daglish had a hand in developing this game, he's credited for both the music and some coding.

I looked into it a little. The publisher U.S. Gold merged with CentreSoft to form CentreGold. CentreGold was bought by SCi Entertainment Group, which owns Eidos. I e-mailed them to see if they have the rights to it, but no response so far.cappuchok wrote:This is really interesting news - has anyone been able to track down the original authors and inquired as to their opinion on supporting the port (possibly with source code or other insights) or even re-issuing the game as freeware?

Ahem, the wiki: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Touch ... _Musketeer
features a little description about the game, but has a major misinformation in it.
"Rouen" is the name of the city where the games takes place/starts,
the name of the main character is "Geoffroi Le Brun"
btw: Now that this engine is in the SVN, can the devs move this to "General Discussion", maybe?

I've tried to make contact with Eidos about other games previously, and I also didn't get any reply. If Eidos are reluctant to answer our questions, perhaps Ben Daglish should be more easily located and contacted - but his website seems to be down at the moment...clone2727 wrote:I looked into it a little.
