they got sued for a bunch of games that were very similar to existing 
games, extremely ancient ones like centipede, that type of thing, clones 
if you might say.  that was a few years ago.  i believe it was hasbro 
that was suing them, as they did for many other developers (gt 
interactive, etc)

they used to have a page on their site that had a bunch of info to try 
and help them raise money to fight it, but i didn't hear of any followup...

tried to find the page, doesn't seem to be there...his horrible music on 
the site drove me away before i could look too much further ;}
