Earnest question, how is this actually legally viable?
Obviously the decompilation is open source, but those are usually distributed without assets, in some kind of builder that requires a copy of the game. And clearly the original game isn’t open source, or else this decompilation wouldn’t need to exist.
So… has the game been released free to the public without the source code? Has Lego or the original developer blessed this project? Or is the game just… in legal limbo or something where they feel comfortable taking the risk?
The original publisher probably just doesn’t care. The game isn’t currently available for sale. I do wonder if Lego would care, but most they would likely do is a cease and desist. It seems like a typical abandonware game situation.
Absolutely amazing. Going to go for the offline port though, I don’t trust my save data to my browser.
N.B. Only worked in Chromium (not Firefox) for me.
My post of this got removed from [email protected] citing piracy and I thought I might post it here, but I guess I don’t have to :3
Anyway, cool stuff!
That’s super neat. I still have my physical copy of this game from back in the day. I’ve booted it up in a Windows 98 VM before, but that’s way more hassle than just opening it in Firefox.
I’ve been watching MattKC’s videos on decompiling this game… neat stuff!
Fuck yeah this is awesome. I played this so much as a kid.
