Yes.

We just got the source code from the authors, and are going to start ScummVM support for it

*applause*

They're amendable to freeware'ing it (ala BASS) - people think I should spend the time making it so?

So, what is needed? A flood of emails begging for them to make it freeware?

No, just me getting off my arse and arranging it... working out the license, finding somewhere to host it (The major problem, it was a lot of trouble to negotiate Steel Sky hosting with SourceForge).

It won't happen until support it in ScummVM, anyway.. but I want to get a quick check of intrest first 😀

Kickass!
Now if you could only get Lucas Arts to give up Monkey Island 1 & 2 as freeware 😉

Well, it's appreciated (by some, at least). I suggest you do this "at your leisure". There's no need to put yourself "through the ringer" on this.

Of course, I already have both versions, so I'm OK either way.

Yes. Flight is not so widely known as Lucas Arts games - not having backing and advertisement of the big firm. But it is classic cartoony humorous adventure very similar to the Indiana Jones series so it would be a really nice asset to the family of games supported by the ScummVM. It also belongs among rather problematic games to run on modern computers.
If you look at some of the forums on websites dedicated to the adventure gaming, for example on Mr. Bill's Adventureland and enter "flight" into search engine, you can see that people are still interested in that game and also have problems with it.

Best thing is it's a local company (well, same country at least) for once - which makes things a lot easier on me.

I hate timezones 😜

Here is a review for those who don´t know this game, so they can look forward for it too. 😀

Excellent news 😀

Thanks for this work, I see that FotAQ is now long-supported by ScummVM.

Where can we get the source that you refer to above? The source code, the source assets, etc. for modifying and re-building the game?

Ask the scummvm team on their own forum ?

And 13 year old topic. Please don't do that.
