Seems the story was originally on news.com.au ( http://www.news.com.au/technology/business-technology/compan...) - no idea if they're related to NYP. Still no author credited though.

In Oz (where I'm from) news.com.au is notorious for it's incredibly low standard of journalism, if you can call it that. They blatantly copy and past articles from other news websites. I'd wager it was on NYP first.

Both websites (and papers) are owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Blimey! What are the chances of that?

Actually, really good.

Actually, the news was originally on HN!

The websites, for computer games such as Motocross Madness 2, Midtown Madnessand Monster Truck Madness 2, were rediscovered by readers at software coding website Hacker News, kicking off a fiery yet inaccessible 160-comment thread about backwards compatibility and PC system requirements.

I submitted it to HN, having originally come across it on http://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful (very nice subreddit btw.. and a massive timesink.)

"Fiery yet inaccessible" what? Was it either?
