Re: Malfador Games Pirated
I saw SE4 for sale for a buck when I was in East Asia.
They had pictures and a description from some other game on it.

Re: Malfador Games Pirated
Everything is available for a buck, in those places. From photoshop, to the latest games, to operating systems. Im actually supprised that smaller games like these are worth peoples times, when they could be cranking off a hundred coppies of a more popular game.
Not really much to be done about it.

That is how those people do things. What they can't buy they steal, then resell.

Re: Malfador Games Pirated
I know that when I was in Korea back in 87-88, I could go down to the nearby town and get copies of just about any game they had for the Commodore 64 I had at the time. But they were more than a dollar, IIRC. I think most of the games sold for about $5.

Re: Malfador Games Pirated
Well it was more expensive making copies back in 87-88. Esp. if you buy CDs in bulk, you can make copies of programs for pennies each.
