Since this BMS option cam available, I have been looking for my orginal Falcon 4 cd, since the instruction is that you must have the disk. I believe I have used it as a dog frisbee since Falcon AF came out.

Does anyone know where I might find a copy? Of if anyone is willing to sell?

I have the Hasbro release as well as the Microprose 1st edition of Falcon4.
I could be persuaded to turn a copy loose-

You would go google-eyed at the torrent of search results for Falcon4.

And to be honest I see no harm in gaining an illegitimate copy of a game that last came off of a cd-pressing production line when Bill Clinton was president, and was originally released in a different century.

Logically I do agree with Kendo, but morally I'd still spend those few bucks (I've seen copies around for less than 5€) on that.

If nothing else for coherence...

Problem is, Atari still owns it, and they have not released the source code or intellectual property. Until they do, it isn't US legal to redistribute.

It's funny how you specified "US-Legal"...
