Whoops! I didn't hear about that one, though it was a common occurrence in the earlier days of the game industry. Please share details, if you're able.

On a related note, I worked on Battle Chess, porting it from DOS/Amiga to Windows 3.1, and later to Windows 95 ("MPC Battle Chess"). Every few years a new producer from Interplay would call me and ask for a copy of the source code so they could rebuild it, because they lost their own copies. One of those times it was because they discovered their weekly backup tapes were all blank.
