Harald Hardtooth (Hårdtand) (GOT PERMISSION)

Which game would you think had the highest odds of becoming freeware? (That you would like to see as freeware)

Which game would you LOVE to see as freeware?

I would have to go with Harald Hårdtand as the one with most chances, and Pirates Gold, maybe Syndicate, I would love to have as freeware.

There´s one game I really would love to see as freeware: "UFO - Enemy unknown" (Microsoft). But I don´t think the chance for this to happen is very high...

But which one do you think could be made freeware? I already wrote the developer of Harald Hårdtand. They are a Danish company, under a global dental hygiene company.
Hoping to get a positive reply.

Got a mail back from the developer, which says that they had a crew called SilverRock productions do the game, and they were pretty sure that they had the rights for the game. I just sent them a screenshot from the opening screen saying Copyright Colgate-Palmolive in other words... Its they who have the copyright, and all I need is a special permission to host it.
Also I tried tracking down some contactinfo on UFO, but the closest I got was a real live adress from 1995... If you can get anything newer, I would love to try it out, just to see what they will answer...

Well if I am not the man, I don't know who is...

We got usage rights for Harald Hårdtand. They checked with their legal departement and all. We got special permission.

I just wrote Scythe a PM, which opens up to the suggestion that we should have a subforum in here where we contact people with copyrights for a certain game, and ask them to make it freeware (or at least give us hosting rights for it)
