Thanks. So if we are to follow Cloanto's pattern of argument further than Cloanto does, Hyperion must have been infringing on Cloanto's copyright (supposedly obtained from Amiga Inc. in 2011/2012) since exactly that time.
Not that it matters, but the cinemaware deal was 2010, including Manomio's negotiations for required IP.

Source of quote above & vid/demo showing 1.3 imageI fully understand your putting more weight on the 1.3 ROM discussed above, but I feel it's also fair to ask "who licensed what to Manomio?" back in 2010 as well.

It's evident I need not ask "who licensed what to Manomio" again given that we have legal admittance.

You can be sure developers were never paid either for this epic fail.
