Urban Assault was such a cool game, what a shame it never caught on.

It was a gem! It came bundled with the Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick

I reached out to Microsoft to try to buy the rights to it several years ago. They referred me to the original developer in Germany, but they either weren’t interested, or the ownership was too complicated. I’d love a modern version of Urban Assault, although the original is still completely playable. I’m not aware of any other game that managed so well to combine RTS and FPS.

How much could the rights to a game like that cost? Depending on whether it's in range of the average person's disposable income, this could be a cool thing to do as a preservationist.
