rheffera #1 Posted November 3, 2006 Hi mates, im in australia and alot of my activision games are the hes versions. I know HES did some fairly illegal things like piss off nientndo by making unlicensed games for NES, but did they have activisions permission to distrubute thier 2600 games like this?

+Omegamatrix #2 Posted November 3, 2006 I believe they were legal. Rom Hunter will know for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mayhem #3 Posted November 3, 2006 I'm 99.9% certain it was legal. They had the rights from Activision to distribute their C64 cartridge games in Australia, so I can't see why it couldn't also have happened to the 2600. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rom Hunter #4 Posted November 4, 2006 HES got permission from Imagic and Activision to release their games down under. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxsolo2000 #5 Posted November 4, 2006 I remember we had this debate last year. Alwyas surprised me that Hes got the rights when so many other companies were content to simply rip off other companies games Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rheffera #6 Posted November 4, 2006 It is a bit surprising considering some of the stuff they did. I guess they did it to avoid law suits? after all they wernt some small taiwan company that made pirates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
