Subject: Re: M.A.X. source is lost to Interplay
I tried contacting people for the source code myself a long time ago. Mostly I just wanted to see how they did that amazing AI, and where all those annoying bugs were. Of course everyone said it was gone. The fact that Larry Froistad went mad and set that fire upgrades the story of the missing source code to nearly mythical status. I like to think that the last copy of the code was there, a hard copy sitting on his desk. Maybe M.A.X. is something that no human can fully control, perhaps M.A.X.R. is stepping where angels dare not tread.
