[edit] Copyright transfer?
Who currently owns the rights to the Wizardry series? I can't seem to find any information about the results of the closing of Sir-Tech.
- According to http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=171, Sir-Tech (or possibly just Robert Sirotek?) still owned the rights after closing in 2001, but they were willing to consider selling them. I also found another page (http://www.silverstarholdings.com/investments/strategy.html) that says Sir-Tech Canada was acquired by Strategy First, but another interview with Robert Sirotek (http://pc.ign.com/articles/065/065299p1.html) claims that Sir-Tech Canada did not own the rights to Wizardry. So I guess maybe Sirotek still owns the rights, although he may have sold them by now. - Hihihi 00:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stellar Attack?
I remember some Sir-Tech games I've not seen talked about online.
Stellar Attack (?) was a Star-Trek sort of game, where you were flying your ship around the solar system fighting off Kzanta (?) ships and then beaming armies down to planets to take them over. I think it was written in Pascal. A really fun game for it's time. TNK = Fire Torpedos at nearest Kzanta!
Star Bounce, which played sort of like Subspace.
At least I think these were the names, and I think Sir-Tech published them. dougmc 04:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, MobyGames doesn't list any of those games, but it doesn't mean they don't (or didn't) exist.[1] But it might be best to find some evidence of the games before adding them. FWIW, the first Wizardry was also written in Pascal... and was one of the big reasons I became a game programmer! :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Yup, I recall how the documentation of Wizardry said how it was just too complicated of a game to write in BASIC, and how instead it was 25,000 lines of Pascal (complete with the runtime UCSD bits.) As for the games, I'm hoping I'm not the only one who remembers them ... dougmc 04:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
