Yeah, the "elusive creators" is a tough nut. If some company went bankrupt 10-20 years ago, and no trace of who holds the IP etc. that's a lot of detective work.

Also, wtf was that last paragraph:

Imagine, you're living in a tent in the wilds of somewhere like the Scottish highlands. As you snooze, the zip gently winds down, startling you into fight or flight mode. It's Tom Selleck. 'Oi, people want to play Links: The Challenge of Golf without running into weird popping audio,' he declares. You reach into an old tin and hand him a bit of paper which reads 'Do what you want with it'. He leaves. You accidentally forget to check that none of the berries you've picked for breakfast are poisonous.
