Also do they have a website now?
Always used to find Skullsoft quite inspiring.

I think Skullsoft's current website is meant to be http://www.skullsoft.co.uk/, but as you can see they don't appear to be around any more.

Sorry for the delay I missed this reply - just found it by Google!
JL I think Skullsoft has been down since 2002 so this might be there actual website.
I wonder if they ever finished Plig2. Must be worth asking.

Well somebody here must have a copy if they wrote a news article on it, although i doubt Whoever made the article is still around.
Nobody commented on the article however.

Fixed smile

According to web.archive.org, the last version of Plig 2 released was beta 2. However they don't archive the downloads, and googling for "plig2.zip" doesn't return any results.

As you say, one of our staff members might have a copy - I'll have an ask around.

Well,
Acording to that site the Skullsoft coders are members of the Liverpool Acorn User Group so we might be able to get some valid contacts from them?

[Update]
Have contacted them, and asked them to pass a note on to them to either get in touch, or to have a look at the AcornArcade forums.

Great. Would be nice to know if they're still involved in the market.

Yup, I recieved a copy of !Plig2 a couple of weeks back, unfortunatly it needs the EasyWIMP modules to run, and I can't find them anywhere. (Only one result on Google!)

Anyone with the RISC User....In a Nutshell CD ROM will have this. I have emailed SkullSoft asking for a copy of these modules but no reply as of yet.

I'll ask on TIB.
