See: Comparison of Speedy Blupi (Windows) and Speedy Eggbert (Windows)

Trademark

"Speedy Eggbert" was a registered trademark by the eGames company, but it expired on 27th April 2012.

Review in PC Gamer magazine

Speedy Eggbert was reviewed in the PC Gamer magazine and scored 4% [1]

Old coverdiscs (maybe pre-DVD) had a "review archive".

Why was Blupi replaced by Eggbert

tytbone Dec 17, 2017

Was Blupi changed to Eggbert for the eGames-published versions so that Epsitec retained the full legal rights to the Blupi name, or something like that?

Blupi Dec 20, 2017


BlupiGames Replying to @tytbone and @epsitec

AFAIK, Epsitec SA retains the rights to the Blupi name. But I'm just a developer, only @epsitec knows exactly the answer of this question.

Pierre Arnaud

@epsitec


Pierre Arnaud 8:15 PM · Dec 22, 2017

eGames didn’t like the name Blupi and thought that Eggbert would be a better choice for the US market. And yes, Epsitec SA is indeed the owner of the name Blupi

[2]

Spyware

CD-ROM discs by eGames contain spyware named "timesink". [3][4][5]

"timesink" should not be harmful, especially on a modern pc, but can be annoying (maybe the high usage CPU and RAM).

Spyware may be trying to contact a server, which now no more exists.

The goal of this spyware is to deliver advertisements on the infected computer.

"timesink" creates some files on the computer, where it is installed.
