Scott Gordon / Sierra: I'm pleased to introduce Red Baron Arcade coming out today exclusively on the PlayStation Store. Some of you really old-school gamers will remember the original Red Baron series released by Sierra back in the 90s. The first game in the series was even named the #4 Best PC Game of all Time by Computer Gaming World.

Developer Mad Otter Games has acquired the rights to Dynamix's classic World War I-era flight combat games Red Baron, Red Baron II, and Red Baron 3D -- but the company needs help tracking down the games' source code itself.
According to a news post on its official website, the studio is offering a $1,500 reward to the first person to deliver the complete original C/C++ source code to any of the three games.
The rights were almost certainly acquired from Sierra -- now effectively Activision -- which bought Dynamix in 1990. Earlier this year, Sierra released a poorly-received new game, Red Baron Arcade, to PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network.
Multiplayer packs in a handy Deathmatch mode and a number of other usual suspects, all of which are fun for about five minutes before you're kicked in the face by lag issues and the sheer lack of people willing to play the game online. Just avoid it altogether.
WOOT!
Omfg!!
I thought it was dead! Was actually happy to play and today i can =D
W00t indeed!
I hope its like $9.99 but i doubt it it will probably be $19.99. I might get it but i dont recall PSN ever releasing a demo on a game less then $19.99 if im wrong my bad lol.
Nice!
