Which is the original L’Abbaye des morts game?
Posted On: March 20, 2024

The game L’Abbaye des morts can be found implemented for many retro and modern systems. For example:.


Commodore 64.


Sega.


ZX Spectrum.


It is visible that the game is implemented by different people or companies and that some of the ports are commercial. This makes me wonder which is the original game and who owns the right to it. Also, is it legal to create a commercial port for someone's else game?


Question from user bobeff at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

The original game is a freeware Windows game by Locomalito, written in 2010. It was intended to have the look and feel of a ZX Spectrum game.


It was then rewritten and open sourced by MoonWatcher, and is under the CC-BY licence. That means it can be re-used for any purpose, including commercial. Hence for example the commercial C64 version by Double Sided Games, and an actual ZX Spectrum version by RetroWorks.
