First, let me start with few remarks:
1) /me sorry that I didn't posted anything before, despite that my registration was confirmed few years ago.
2) /me terribly sorry, that my first post here is just a request.
3) I feeling sad for Xander and really adore his work, however...
...We just should admit that even if he is still alive - situation isn't same for his one and only (yet still great) game. When boltsfotwaregames fell down, Firewall finally become abandon ware, sad but true. Now it just physically impossible to buy it from developer, and few e-shops that still have FW for sale isn’t best choice to deal with too: I just given up when one of them sent me... ordinary demo-version (for ~20$). Not a big loss in terms of money (which wasn’t mine anyways), but it was some kind of Christmas present for me. Now, I’m just tired of waiting and imitating any belief in (pretty outdated) licenses, so here here is my request: could some of FireWall’s owners , please, send me (or not only) full version ? It would be no loss for you, and pretty much gain for me (one of those game’s fans)... So ?

P.S. Damn, 2 typos in title. I need to sleep more...

Looks to be, I believe the OP is referring to this. Apparently Idea payed for the game from some online shop, but never got it, so he's asking if anyone who already has it will send the game to him.

Idea, your best bet would be to try to get a refund from whatever shop you bought it from. I don't know the story behind Xander or that website, but if it went offline for whatever reason and the game isn't being sold anymore, then the site you bought it from should not still have it up available to buy. What you're asking for though is technically illegal, so I doubt anyone here would be willing to fulfill your request.

Oh, mine... Well, it was pretty expectable.

No, it was on 2 years ago, now it's just request for some abandoned soft.

Quote: "Idea, your best bet would be to try to get a refund from whatever shop you bought it from."

It wasn't mt friend who ordered it for me, but AFAIR he doesn't got any. ALSO e-mailed Xander and got no response.

Quote: "then the site you bought it from should not still have it up available to buy."

It's very interesting question: technically I can now sell Elite, 'cause there is unlikely someone who still have any rights to stop me.

Quote: " What you're asking for though is technically illegal, so I doubt anyone here would be willing to fulfill your request."

...So is it OK that people downloading Windows 3.11 from retrosoft sites instead of bothering MS with offers of buying it ?

[quote] t's being sold here with a free demo version:quote]
Well, already got mine demo from BoltSoftwareGames.com when it was up, so now I just need someone, who would try to buying it again despite of whole previous story, huh) ?
