I'm having an enjoyable time reliving my childhood through a DOS emulator called DosBox. All of the old school Sierra games are considered abandonware and are no longer subject to copyright protection (i.e., they're legally free). Police Quest 1 is done, Betrayal at Krondor and Leisure Suit Larry are on deck.

Now, if only I could find my G.I. Joe toys, I'd be all set.

I wouldn't bet on "no longer subject to copyright." I doubt it'll be a problem, but that's quite a stretch to say "legally free."

Well, if you want to get all technical about it...

And isn't that what the law is?

Why did I misread this as you reliving your childhood through a dominatrix emulator? I don't know.

It's a shame they went under - they owned the early to mid 90s!
