If you have that ring that melts dungeon walls and get stuck at the guy asking you riddles, just melt the walls and walk around him.
Now THAT'S freedom!

Bethesda could allow access to source to NDA developers, or release sources. They could allow free distribution as a promotional item. Selling as a commercial game might also be possible, but probably unprofitable.
Sorry, we don’t have any plans to release source code for any of our games at this time.

I would Love to see Arena ported to the Nokia Internet Tablet as well ..... Seems like a not to complicated way to make some money on an existing title to me

LOL yup the balance of the world. Perhaps it is a false statement, but not intentionally. It just didnt occur to me at the time of posting. I figured (not being a programmer per say, more of a scripter) that they would a) actually have the source code to the software. and b) be able to port it or allow someone else to port it while retaining both ownership and copyright. Untill you pointed it out to me I thought anything was possible...

If you're unaware of TES: Arena, this is the game that started Bethesda on the path to their blockbuster title 'Oblivion'. It was an extremely ambitious title for the early 1990s, and featured a lot of innovations such as item generation, procedural landscapes, quests and dialogs. It also delivers an RPG 'feel' that is pretty much unique in gaming history.
TES: Arena can be downloaded from their site, but it runs too slow in DosBOX on the tablets.
So why not show them that there are fans out there, and a platform that's begging for this classic to be revived! Heck, it's worth a shot isn't it?
