There was a game that was court ordered to delete the source code if I recall.

Something about Vikings I think

The creator of the Touhou Project lost the source code of all the games in the series before 10 when his old computer died, so that's one of the reasons why we don't see the older games ported to Steam.

That sucks. And no I haven't been along for the ride. But his games are awesome.

I learned a long time ago, Save Early, and Save Often.
And now in modern times, back it up.

shit, is this true? it doesn't say anything about it in the game's wikipedia page. i'd like to see a remaster of this some day.


The lead director on the game posted a few times on the secret of Evermore message board like 5 years ago, he gave a lot of cool nuggets about development on the game and also mentioned that they lost the source code

If you have an Xbox look up my GT. I got the 1000/1000 achievements. Every class to max level etc. Beat every level deathless and beaten the game deathless straight through multiple times.
