    That, presumably, includes Civ2. There are some contact e-mail addresses at the bottom of the article, but if they're going to start publishing Civ2 in July, I think it would be very surprising if they would be willing to release the source code.

    Not necesarily... The game has built-in copy protection.. If we don't touch that, then I don't see how the project could harm them. On the contrary, it might attract new people who might buy the game to check out what is done with the source...

    It all depends on the licence under which the code is released, I guess.

      That's a very good point, N35t0r. It might be a good idea to emphasize to 2K that by releasing the Civ2 source code, they may actually increase their sales.

          I remember that I was surprised how old games such as Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and others were on emulator but could not be legally played OR BOUGHT on emulator. You needed to buy the console and the cassette... plastic.

          Nintendo could have done something great by puting on computer and let the source code, no?

          Then Nintendo reused all this... But Civ has Civ 1-2-3 and 4 coming. Does it make Civ2 not-to-be-used again? Anyone knows that? Because I think this is really what they might be looking at as the main point, legally or else.
