Disclaimer: I don't know if any of the other games are to be trusted, since I only downloaded the Midas Machine and Psycho Waluigi games. They come in installers and they claim to be made by 'Buziol Games'. The installer also wants you to install the 'Mario Forever Toolbar'. Install at your own risk. http://www.buziol.pl/site/index/name/super-mario-3-mario-forever-music-soundtracks?site=3 Stolen game listing starts at page 3. The site can be browsed without getting any malware, something I'm not that sure about for the downloads. Stolen games I found: 'Super Mario Crimson Winter' -> Hello's Crimson Winter Fangame 'Super Mario The Dark Days of the Mushroom Kingdom' -> Hello's 'Super Mario Bros. Dark Days' 'Super Mario The Kingdom Troubles' -> Another Hello game 'The Super Mario Bros Skypop Flaying in the Sky' -> I can recall seeing this game somewhere on MFGG, I dunno who made it though. 'The real Super Mario Bros What is this Thing Game' -> DJ Yoshiman's What is this thing 'Super Psycho Waluigi - The troublesome mind' -> TD's Psycho Waluigi 'The Mushroom Kingdom Patrol - Super Mario Patrol' -> Team Midas' Midas Machine None of the game installers, game info or game loaders say anything about the original creator of the game. Please place your signature here.

It installed these three shortcuts on my desktop. Start menu entry. Program folder. Program folder /data This one I didn't expect, but I guess it's my fault for taking the risk. Why is the Mario icon randomly appearing on my thumbnails? (It might just be an issue with Dropbox, but I've NEVER seen it happen before.) (For the sake of clarity, I enabled showing file extensions.) I felt very dirty installing the program, but I just want to take part in exposing these thieves. Surprisingly, TD's disclaimer was still in the game. I think now we need to add something to our disclaimers like "IF THIS SOFTWARE WAS PART OF A BUNDLE OR TOOLBAR, YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED." --- Edited by: Puddin, Nov 8th, 2011 @ 1:12 pm

That's why I always include game credits and a link to MFGG and this forum in the F1 help screen, which can't easily be changed by naughty folks like these. Course clear! You got a card.
