Made in 1999?

The release date is stated as 2001-11-03, but yet it appears in Vorticon VI, a fansite from 1999 (evidenced by the index page), where all of the games listed in that link were made in 1999 or earlier. I'm not sure where the 2001 date comes from, since the files in the download are dated 2003-03-27, but one or two of those dates might've came from copy-and-pasting the files. Is there any other evidence that this game was made in 1999? Quillax (talk) 08:58, 29 March 2024 (GMT)

It looks as if the date information refers to the dynamic link libraries (DLL) contained in the package. At least these bear the time stamp of 1999. We can't say much about the rest, except that the version we have seems to be from 2003. Whether this is a revised version or the original from earlier days cannot be clearly reconstructed on the basis of the data available to us. In other words: I don't know what the correct information is either.

Those DLLs were probably copy-and-pasted from somewhere else, probably another Klik & Play game. Those particular DLLs are required to run games made with the program. Though, when copy-and-pasting files, isn't it possible for the date of the pasted file to become overwritten by the current date? I see that happen to folders, but I don't know about files.

Regarding when exactly the game came out, Grandy02 would probably know about this. He doesn't seem to be active in KeenWiki for a long time, but he made an update to PCKF Archive early this year. Snortimer might also know; he's been a community member since 1998, and he played this game according to a PCKF post. Not sure when did he play it, but given the context it might've been back in the day. Quillax (talk) 08:20, 16 July 2024 (GMT)
