I want to get permission to use graphics from an old 2D game. The company went bankrupt and out of business in 2001. Where do I go from here?
Thank you
How to get permission to use graphics when..
1. Somebody definitely still owns that IP. Find out who, and get permission.
2. Failing #1, don't use those graphics. Use other graphics with permission, or create something original.

2. Absolutely.
I have no idea how to find that person or company. Looks like I'm going to have to do a lot of digging.
Thank you very much

Erggg! I found out that some of the IP (not sure what) was purchased by another company, but that company went out of business in 2008..

Repeat step 1
Hahaha. I have now found the company that has acquired the IP. Since they never used the IP and are not in the gaming business, I hope they give me permission.
Good luck!
Remember when you approach them that you are dealing with a business. You need not be overly stuffy and formal, but should be sure to conduct yourself in a polite, professional and businesslike manner.
