If it is indeed a sample I'm pretty sure he would have cleared it. A friend of mine did some sounds for his own game and was contacted by Jeff (or Giles?) for permission to include them in Minotaur.<div><br></div><div>

the same, it's (probably) ok. Copyright is for the protection of the<br>

Subject: [PIGMI] LLamatron and Space Giraffe<br>
<br>
Just been playing Minotaur by Llamasoft, and after reading his bio I<br>
found about Jeff Minter's Xbox game Space Giraffe. So I've been playing<br>
that this evening.<br>
<br>
One thing I was curious about though was that he uses sound effects in<br>
there from Defender, Blaster, Robotron and Sinistar - all Williams<br>
copyright. Is that allowed these days????<br>
<br>
Space Giraffe is awesome.<br>
<br>
