Glider PRO Becomes Freeware for the Mac

Posted by pudge on from the apple-should-drive-more-companies-out-of-business dept.

sasha328 writes "Original developer of Glider PRO releases the game as freeware. This has come about from the collapse of Cassady & Greene. I wonder if he'll consider releasing the code for the games." Ah, I used to love this game. It's still good.

      Actually that's a 1-bit image (black & white), unless you were making a pun on "two bit".

    The Application is still the original one, and thus it asks for a serial number. This number is included in a serial number.txt file.

    Man, that filename looks familiar.... I'm pretty sure most of my software comes that way!

    For all you lawyers reading this, yes that was a joke!

    I always thought Chris Espinosa's Pro Stunt Copter would be a great idea for a game.
