Steve Schacher Posted February 18, 2001 Report Posted February 18, 2001 Here is a scanned copy of the Computer Gaming World cover story on BC3K from May, 1994. http://members.home.net/srschacher/BC3K/cgw0594a.jpg http://members.home.net/srschacher/BC3K/cgw0594b.jpg http://members.home.net/srschacher/BC3K/cgw0594c.jpg Enjoy!
Supreme Cmdr Posted February 20, 2001 Report Posted February 20, 2001 hey, erm, is that legal? I mean for you to scan and post it?Anyway, thats NOTHING compared to the 4-page article they have coming out in the April issue. Its going to stun a bunch of folks. Guaranteed. Its based on Jeff Green's visit down here last month.
Kush Posted February 20, 2001 Report Posted February 20, 2001 SC, what's this Jeff Green guy like in person? I imagine he's a kind of friendly doofus kinda guy. And I mean that in the nicest way.
Supreme Cmdr Posted February 20, 2001 Report Posted February 20, 2001 He's a cool guy. We had a blast.
Steve Schacher Posted February 20, 2001 Author Report Posted February 20, 2001 quote:is that legal? I thought about that, but I figured it was so old and no longer accessible, and even though fair use laws allow for copying parts of a story for reviews and commentary, I didn't put the whole magazine on-line, just this article.Besides, wouldn't you be allowed to show it since it is about you?
argee Posted February 22, 2001 Report Posted February 22, 2001 Thats the article that started me on this long journey. I think I still have a CD-ROM from Computer Games/Strategy Plus that had an audio interview with Derek about this game as well. About the same timeframe if memory serves.
Guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Posted February 23, 2001 Ah yes the old BC3000 stuff that used to get me all excited. SC, who was it in fact that leaked the original BC3000 beta? I never found out what happened with that.

The fact that it is about Derek doesn't let him or anyone else distribute it at will - the copyright belongs to the magazine or author. To the best of my knowledge, excerpting a whole article is infringement.I'm not getting on your case or anything - god knows I do it to my own articles - just giving you the facts.
Steve Schacher Posted February 24, 2001 Author Report Posted February 24, 2001 I will take it down at the end of the weekend.
aramike Posted February 24, 2001 Report Posted February 24, 2001 Steve, don't worry about it. It's NOT infringement.1 - You're not making any money on it. 2 - You're not claiming to have written it. 3 - You're not claiming to own it.You only have to take it down if the author/owner asks you to.
Supreme Cmdr Posted February 24, 2001 Report Posted February 24, 2001 I think Mike is right. No need to take it down.
Parias Posted February 24, 2001 Report Posted February 24, 2001 Aye, I've seen people post magazine scans all the time. No worries ------------------ Commodore. Parias ICV-Galatae, Sanctuary Storage Facility (Sygan) Balor Fleet ICQ 1293359 Staff member at HardNews
Guest rtoolooze Posted February 24, 2001 Report Posted February 24, 2001 Thats a cool article. Believe it or not, I still have an old demo of BattleCruiser from Computer Gaming World. I never got it to run on my system back then though. Made me sad, cause I really wanted to play it. Course I was still in my early years as far as computers go. Hmmm... makes me want to fire it up and give it another try!
