Then that would rule out Painkiller too, since People Can Fly was acquired by Epic recently.

This is why trying to do this stuff can be SO much **FUN**...
Ah, ok, I found about this company a while back, like a few months ago, and I was surprised when i went to their site to see that they have an office near where I live. Well, not near, but like 20 minutes away. They make all kinds of games, not only fps games like Terrorist Takedown 2, but adventure games as well. I dont think their games are "hot", so there might be a possiblity there.

Well, damn, i got this not so uplifting email from Les:
If I still had it, I would have no idea where it is. Maybe in the attic with a bunch of old papers. In either case, it would be of no help to you in finding who the current owner of the game rights is because it was written up years before they folded. So the information in it would be what was current at the that time. Whoever bought the remains of the company after they folded is who owns the rights now. - Les

In the case of a few other IntraCorp published titles, the rights devolved to the studio, so I am thinking they didn't get much of any takers for the rights on the titles they had in hand, so we might be looking at some nice stuff afterall. As it stands, even if we DON'T find a rights holder, it led me to some OTHER very, very promising leads on things. (As it stands, I'm evaluating one of the other lead's NDA's right now and I think we may have a starting project... )- Harpoon II and III plus there's a few other titles on Matrix Games' site that might be promising and possible.
For Witchaven, etc., we need to find out what happens when the company dies and doesn't sell anything off beforehand- and find out if they did this or find the buyer. I'll check into the first right away.

Yea, I'm believing that too, the shareholders might own the rights. Where are you going to find this information on what goes on to a company after it disolves and theres no copyright transfer? Maybe I can look it up too. I'm very interested in seeing some work done in these titles. I researched this a while back, and tried contacting a few of the former employees of the company, including its former CEO. He know works at an insurance company in Florida, but didnt reply my emails. Same thing with Joe Abbati, which did sound work for Intracorp, and is now working at the universitdy of Miami at Florida. The other former employee i found about was Ruben Cabrera, and he now works in 3drealms.

Just wanted to add that I loved the original "Age of Wonders", and unfortunately when I wanted to get it locally I could never find it (stores listed it but didn't have it), but I'm promising here that I'll buy it if there's ever a linux port. (I don't really like AoW2 or the ones after)
You have permission to go bang on my door and collect the money if I forget about this promise

Don't they devolve to the shareholders who after all own the company?Last edited by Svartalf; 12 July 2008, 10:36 PM.
