Talk:Aliens TC

Aliens conversion for Quake

Actually, the Aliens conversion for Quake was finished and released in early April 1997. However, Twentieth Century Fox immediately had their lawyers contact the developers to shut down the project site. The developers' message is still on the web: http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~nv91-gta/quake/ Since quite a few people downloaded the mod before Fox shut it down it is probably possible to get a copy if you talk to the right people. Unfortunately I never got the chance to play the game, since I didn't have a computer with Quake at that time, so I don't know if it could live up to the expectations. /213.66.200.148 11:15, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Distribution package question

The idgames distributions of the TC, and some others, come with copies of DEHACKED.EXE and DEUSF.EXE.  Does anyone remember if this had copyright implications?  (I have no idea where one can find ancient versions of these programs to read their readme files.)    Ryan W 07:38, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Actual release date

Do we have an actual release date for Aliens TC? I've noticed that the Timeline of mod releases page cites October 19th, 1994 as the date, but that's based on a Usenet thread talking about it. I did some digging and while archive.org is still currently down I can only do so much (which has really grim portents for the future of internet history if it were to go down permanently) I did confirm that it does seem to have been released within a few days of the 19th -- I found a post dated the 18th mentioning that it was in /newstuff but no specific date on that either. --june gloom (talk) 19:05, 15 October 2024 (CDT)
