I googled around a bit, and read some of the history posts. It sounds like the original author sold the rights to a company that folded and he doesn't have the source anymore.
That's interesting. I know at least three people who have (or had) the source. One ported it to QNX.

Alan Klietz was part of the MECC/Talkline crowd, (I'm older, and am from the MTS era, but I kept up with pals,) but he had some fallings out. I believe part of that was hard feelings over taking complete credit for writing Scepter. (I'd need to talk to the principals, but two don't speak to me because I married the cute geek girl. One still does, though.)

If this sounds messy, realize that the MTS-MECC-Talkline-Ghostwheel-Wintermutants crowd also includes one murderer and one attempted murderer -- both victims also being part of the scene.

Hmm, I can't find the link now, but it was part of a usenet post where Alan said he didn't have anything other than a paper copy of the source that he wasn't going to type in, and even with the source it couldn't be compiled and run due to not having the necessary tools. Maybe he was talking about the other game he was involved in? I can't remember the name.
