PUBLIC DOMAIN

[ This section is from the v1.04f version of the Genesis Game Guide ]

There has been a lot of heat taken by webmasters lately from their hosts for posting illegal cart dumps on their emulation-related Internet sites. A discussion of the "cans" and "cannots" of the appropriate sections of U.S. and international law that governs duplication of copyrighted computer software is beyond the scope of this document, and I will not bog it down with such. Rather, below is a list of verified G/MD titles that are known to be in the public domain at this time. Most of these are fan-produced, but two are former commercial titles that their vendors have released into the public domain for your enjoyment:

NAME AUTHOR/VENDOR
Berzerk Paul Lee
Beyond Zero Tolerance (beta) Zyrinx/Technopop (released into PD)
Censor Intro Censor (hacker group)
Censor Movie Trailer Demo Censor (hacker group)
Censor Smiley Face Demo Censor (hacker group)
Magical Christmas Demo Magical (hacker group)
MineDemo (beta) Kevin Banks
Moonbase (alpha) Kevin Banks
Roadwars 2000 Jason Meehan (author of VGen)
Space War (alpha) Kevin Banks
Zero Tolerance Zyrinx/Technopop (released into PD)

The only caveat that Zyrinx has placed on their titles is that they may not be altered (read "hacked" or "trained") in any way. We thank them for their generosity, and I ask that you honor their request in order to show your support for such a kind act on their part. These are the only known "safe" titles to date, so if you know of any other "safe" titles, please let us know.
