Changed the thread title. Well I'd personally take that as a compliment.

Not sure if Nickel Iron is as great a title. Actually I don't get it myself, but it's your dime.

Question; Is this actually a commercial project or just a freeware game? Can't see how a fan-made for free clone could threaten them as there have been lots of notorious games that have been cloned and successful, yet the original creators never went after them.

Atari is indeed alive and making games ...I think. They are now owned by Infogrames.
