Henry, since you brought up CubeMaster I'll respond. It is NOT Copy protected, and it Multitasks quite well. If you click into another window it pauses itself.

But it is a terrible game.

Henry, Whether a game is terrible or not (in your opinion), it has nothing to do with the ethics, morality, practicality, or efficacy of copy protection. Among developers here who do not copy protect their games are ASDG (Cubemaster), Aegis (Arazok's Tomb, perhaps others), and CBM (Mindwalker). Of the three mentioned, I can only speak of Mindwalker, which is an excellent game (my opinion). -larry

CubeMaster is simple yet very addicting (I've got it up in the 'background' now). My only gripe about it is the mix of graphic images. Some are very professionally done, while others (specifically the cubes themselves) don't have the same look and really don't belong. As a mindless shoot'em'up, I'd give it an 8. (Fantastic sounds!)

Steve, agreed on the cubes themselves not fitting in. I don't know what the logistics behind them being that way were, but Perry is the man to ask.
