[comp.sys.mac.games] Legal issues of creating a game already out..

kevin@crash.cts.com (Kevin Hill) (04/29/91)

  what are the legal ramifications of programming a game that already is in
existence.. i.e. if I were to program, by myself, using 100% of my own coding
 a game, let's say, just like Ancient Art of War..  Would I be liable for
programming a game that is similar to that game?  I would not be copying
any grafics, but the basic concepts of the game..  The grafix may be similar
but they would not be exactly the same and they would be all of my own 
creation..
  Has anyone had these problems or tried to delve into them, if so, please
e-mail me and I will summarize the answers..
  Thank you very much, Kevin
