leech Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 5 hours ago, cubanismo said: IANAL, and I'm getting deja vu, but that's trademarks. I can't make "Pitfall: The IP adventure" because someone has a trademark on Pitfall games and probably keeps it active. Unless Scatologic is actively using the BattleSphere trademark, I probably could get away with making "BattleSphere II: The most spherical of all battles." However, that doesn't mean I can print off copies of their existing BattleSphere manuals or sell reproductions of their existing games. Copyright is a zeroobligation thing for the holder. I could maybe post a ROM image or manual PDF on an archive-centric section of a website and claim fair use as an act of preservation. Maybe. Once again, IANAL. I'd totally play BattleSphere II: The Most Spherical of all Battles! (I still wonder what it'd look like if someone did a port of Frontier: Elite II to the Jag. Like it seems like just the sort of game that would fit quite amazingly on the system. Might even be able to handle Elite III fairly well.) To keep this more on topic, doesn't Battlesphere play similarly to Crown of Creation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, but I don't know as CoC was never cracked/dumped/made available to those of us who got into the Falcon late. I have a demo of it which is just a slideshow from memory and not much if anything playable. I havn't checked in a while so is it now possible to download a fully playable CoC?

Though the cracked one floating around for years worked, but crashed on mission 6 from what I read. Haven't played either game really. I think CoC looks a little better? https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=37585&p=406700&hilit=Crown+of+creation#p406700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this, no trademark exists or has ever existed on the word "Battlesphere" in the USA. Not to mention this: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/14757/battle-sphere Edited May 5, 2021 by Zerosquare 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Got my repro manual in from Etsy. Really happy with the quality considering it was my own crappy scan job! Nice to have this so i can use/read the manual and not worry about putting wear and tear on my actual manual. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
