Hi Fred,

Well, we are currently already in negotiations with two parties about
the possibility of freewaring and reworking three other titles. Whilst
its not certain we will receive permission to work on any of these, I
obviously cannot guarantee we would have time to work on yet another.

And I have not played the game myself yet so I'm not sure about its
quality myself. That aside, I will try and find some time to play the
game this week, and ask around the ScummVM team to see if anybody is
interested in working on it. Obviously, if Housemarque would agree to
hand over the sourcecode to the game and/or freeware it, that would help
a lot.

I'll get back to you.


Cheers,
	James 'Ender' Brown
	Co-Project Leader,
