Let's not forget that it is desirable to obtain permission from the copyright holders to distribute the 1989 version.

That does not cover the original 1989 version. The owner of playdosgames.com had to contact the CEO of Kadon Enterprises to obtain the permission to host the DOS version. There is no license that provides that permission to any party by default.

Hi.

What about the original BlockOut from 1989.
Can you add that game?

This is for DOSGuy to decide, but as I mentioned earlier, other sites had to individually request permission from the CEO of Kadon Enterprises to host/mirror the 1989 version.

I'd be happy to host it if I can get permission, and if it's for DOS/Win16/Win9x. I don't see any mention of a PC port of the original game in the Wikipedia article.

The DOS version definitely exists:

You should be able to contact Kadon Enterprises via the mail address at their site.
