Yeah! I found it... developed and published by Stormfront Studios and Strategic Simulations Inc. (SSI) and brought online through....

....America Online?

Anyway, there's a huge archive on this game: http://www.bladekeep.com/nwn/

EDIT: And here's the video in downloadable form. (Might have to go to the site root, scroll down and find the article there)

lol that is the best video ever only because it looks so 80's.

dood if you were rich enough to own a computer in 1990 you could afford the software. but its lucky we had the dot com boom or else pirating would have owned the industry.

well i think of it like cheating in diablo 2, its ok to give people your stuff, but not ok to dupe it for them.

Actually, at the end of the video the tell you that it's all right to copy this commercial, so you can "spread the word".

No, they just provided the online support/distribution bit.

Really? I didn't know it was illegal anywhere to loan a game or film or whatever to another person?

It's illegal to loan a game to someone else if you still have it on your hard drive.

And you wouldn't have known that unless you were willing to pirate it and watch it in the first place.

Panda? Link?

I think it's clear that our laws are often based on things other than principle.
