ttyborg: I am very pleased to see the release of these games on GOG.com.
I had hundreds of hours of fun with the 2nd installment, although I don't think I ever managed to get to the 4th level.
I hope the owner of these games will consider it, to release the source code (if still exists) of each game for the public, someday in the future, preferably under GNU GPL. These have historic values, it would be a shame to lose them forever, and there would be other advantages as well as maintain the code with the help of the community or see fun projects made out of that.

Does anyone else agrees with me?
I would not count on the source code surviving in ANY way. Most modern companies have troubles keeping the source code for games released 5-7 years ago. Nobody cares much about proper archivisation of XXI century gaemz.

Let alone an old 16-bit DOS game.
