Classic Games are Free in Italy (August 25, 2000)

[KrisV]

In one of our previous updates we reported that the ELSPA (European Leisure Software Publishers Association) forbids the distribution of complete games on magazine cover disks. That's why the UK edition of PC Gamer didn't come with Wing Commander 1 and ten other complete games. At least, that's what their CD Editor told us. Cédric Wasser got his hands on an Italian edition, and guess what? Its cover disk does carry the free classic games (in their original, English version).

​

Either somebody made a mistake, or their CD Editor made that up. Afterall, many magazines illegally carried Secret Ops and the ELSPA didn't seem to care about that.
