PlayStation foe sinks
The sinking of Bleem is not merely the collapse of yet another dot.com.
Try writing to the company, and this will be the reply:
"Thanks for emailing Bleem!, but we're history. Vapor. Kaput. Splitsville. Extinct. Gone the way of the Dodo. In a word, Dead."
Try logging onto the software maker's website, and all you'll see is the computer game hero "Sonic the Hedgehog" weeping over a gravestone which says "Bleem! April 1999 - November 2001".
Even the title of the website has changed; to "Game Over".
Legal battle
Bleem was brought to its knees by the mighty American legal system.
A year-and-a-half after its legal wrangles with the electronic giant Sony begun, the software maker has gone under.
It's no wonder.
After all, there was never any doubt about the way Sony would react to what Bleem was doing.
The company was making a software that enabled computer game fans to play Sony's PlayStation games on their PCs.
The so-called emulator software was sold for $5.99.
When Sony, predictably, sued the company, it counter sued, claiming that the electronics giant was exercising an illegal monopoly over the video game industry.
A brave move, perhaps, but a victory for the software maker never appeared likely.

Nope, I tried it once, and it was hopeless - ran very few games, and those that it did run were glitchy.
Apart from that, there was no need, as I had a PS1 to play the games on!
