The original games were incredibly popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, combining the traditional text adventure format with basic graphics and music. Created by fans who had the intention of giving the game away for free, The Silver Lining caught the attention of Activision’s legal team who issued the developers with a cease and desist order. After negotiations, the C&D [cease and desist] has been officially rescinded, and Phoenix Online has been granted a non-commercial license to release The Silver Lining!
