Did you write any other games? Also, would you like to release them (as others have done) for download? Yes, Fangman was my creation. I have not problem with people playing the derivative games, Doodle Bug, Nerble Force and Packmaze, but I retain the copyright for my original concept games except for those few cases in which the rights were sold permanantly. However, it's very unlikely that I would bother to sue someone for playing them using emulators. The main reason I retain the rights is on the remote chance that some game company might want to base a game on their concepts at one point, and I might make a few $ out of it, since in most cases I made very little money on the originals. I think about 8 of my games were sold to Coco and/or Data Dragon users, but most made almost no money, but then I only worked on them part-time for about two years: Doodle Bug, Nerble Force, Fangman, Packmaze, El Bandito, Trickashay, Orbitron and Vox Chess. << I can specifically list on the approvals page, and on the game pages themselves, that you still retain ownership of the code and game concepts, and that only the executable in it's unaltered form is freely downloadable, if you wish. Yes, that is fine by me.
