We are more likely to lock a thread that *doesn't* contain the word "undercarraige". LOL

No way I'm getting banned...

Cunt!

Tim Langdell, sounds like a bit of a undercarraige to me!

Never heard of him!

Smiley

After reading the linked article on WoS I can see why everyone hates this guy. What a fucking Bell-EDGE.tm

Downloaded and played a few times.  Quite good fun although still confused as what to do!
I'm sure the alien you rescue has escaped from Gribbley's day out!

Love the way the level name flies in.

Explosions are a bit weedy and player fire could be a bit more defender like!

Well done - a good remake!

I've just exchanged a couple of mails with Paul Curtis - programmer of the original StarBike Spectrum game. He seems like a very nice guy and wrote to me completely out of the blue. When I asked about the rights to the game he said;
Quote
My brother actually pointed me at this remake and asked if I knew about it.  As I hold the copyright, nothing will come from me, and I doubt Tim would even be able to find the distribution contract I signed with him.

The "nothing will come from me" part is about the "lawsuit-factor" and he's okay with my version of it. Great, now I just have to worry about what Tim Langdell's might do (which is probably nothing - but you never know), but I do feel very tempted to put the game on my normal website.

Try out my remake of STARBIKE - originally by EDGE software.

5 months later...

I finally broke down - Tim Langdell has pressured me into admitting that I'm Dr. Bacon (by not contacting me).

Longtime members around here probably already know that, but now it's official;

"I'm Dr. Bacon and I remade Starbike". There...now it's out there. Smiley

I've changed the credits in the game, made a few tweaks, and uploaded it to my own webpage.

Click picture to go there.

I guess you got sued now Smiley.

Anyway I have also not been contacted too, since I have the game on my domain as well. So I guess I let the link keept as it are, even its now on the officiel page.

Well, that was the easiest game release ever.

For my next trick I'll take Omega Race and release it as a Dr. Bacon game. Smiley
