Review: GameJackal Pro Version: 3.0.0.6 Reviewer: Womble Provided By: SlySoft Review Date: March 2008 |
Introduction:
Nearly 4 years ago I took a look at one of the first versions of Game Jackal. Just under three years ago I took a second look at the newly released version 2 of the program. Now here we are ready for version 3 from the new owners SlySoft.
Game Jackal has been through a few iterations already under SlySoft, so now we felt that since they have had a little time to work on it, it was right once again to revisit this program.
History: Jacal Consulting to SlySoft:
Originally made by Jacal Consulting it was sold to SlySoft sometime in early 2007 when copyright laws in Australia where changed.
Below is a press release from CDFreaks dated 16/03/07,
The Antigua based copy protection specialist SlySoft has now acquired Game Jackal from Australian software company Jacal Consulting. All further development of Game Jackal has been taken over by SlySoft.
Giancarlo Bettini, CEO at SlySoft: "Due to new Australian copyright law, Jacal Consulting had to take down the Game Jackal website in January and SlySoft took this opportunity to complement our software portfolio. Game Jackal is a perfect addition to our range of product offerings."
"The first release of SlySoft Game Jackal will come at the end of March", SlySoft's Marketing Director, Tom Xiang, said. "We will be adding a few new features and some more languages. However, for our first release, our main focus will be the changeover to the SlySoft license system, with free lifetime updates. Old Game Jackal users can be easily upgraded to a SlySoft license, for no more than 10 USD."
Anthony Smith, Technical Director at Jacal Consulting: "We are happy that Game Jackal has found a perfect new home. SlySoft is well known for their customer satisfaction and we can be sure that our customers will be in good hands."
