Silent Hunter 1
I tried contacting Strategic Solutions Inc. but it seems they no longer exhist. The company is gone and no-one bought the rights for this old dos game. It isn't possible, at least for me, to check and see if the copyright has been renewed when the game seems to only exhist in the memories of other people. The copyright for it appearently ran out in 2002, and the deadline for re-applying, (a "no-one grabbed it yet" clause) acording to an in-accessable statute of limitations for a valueless game, closed two years later. Not only that, but the reliability of my sources is questionable and hazy!
I believe this to be one of many left in limbo. Hopefully forgotten for the benefit of newer game sales! I think I have tried everything, and even put a bit too much work into such a small item. If anyone has any ideas on how to ask for permission, to share it, I would be most interested. I think it is more "The thrill of the chase" at this point.
Tracking this issue has spiked my curiousity!
