Mad Otter Acquires Red Baron Franchise, Calls For Source Code

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.
