since we're talking Missile Commands and the thread is (was) a bit necro'ish, kind of a side question ...
when is someone going to bootleg the Braze MC kit? no disrespect to Brazington, as i have and enjoy many of their kits. but there seems to be a lot more MC talk on KLOV over the past 12 months, and WTBs for the kits have jumped since the Braze kit disappeared. i have a lot of respect for those running stock games with working mechs, but some of us lazy schlubs need the kits.
If he really doesn't want to make them anymore, someone else will make an equivalent at some point. Braze did things to make his kits harder to copy directly, but the kit itself isn't anything that can't be independently created by someone else (and it would be even easier to make one without his anti-copying mechanisms). It's just a matter of modifying the code to use the serial EEROM instead of the onboard EAROM, and then making a plug-in PCB. Nothing that multiple people here aren't technically capable of. It's more just a matter of finding the time (and/or monetary motivation) to do so.
I really don't see why Braze doesn't just license or sell the ability to produce them to someone else. But I haven't talked to him about it to know why he isn't.
