==Current state== Since 1995, Softdisk had been an [[Internet service provider]], [[web hosting service]], and Internet developer as well, and this eventually became their primary area of business. They offered local [[dial-up access|dialup]] service in the [[Shreveport, Louisiana|Shreveport]] area, and Web hosting and development services. As of 2006, their website redirected to that of Bayou Internet, which had taken over their Internet operations. The downloadstore.com site formerly owned and operated by Softdisk was later run by Flat Rock Software, which also published former Softdisk product Screen Saver Studio and most of the Gamer's Edge titles (as well as on GOG.com). The source code for ''[[Catacomb (video game)|Catacomb]]'', ''[[Catacomb 3D]]'' and ''[[Hovertank 3D]]'' was released by Flat Rock in June 2014 under the [[GNU General Public License]] in a manner similar to [[John Carmack#Open-source software|those done]] by id and partners.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTcxMjM | title = id Software's Softdisk Open-Sources Some Really Old Games | first = Michael | last = Larabel | date = June 6, 2014 | accessdate = June 6, 2014 | publisher = [[Phoronix]]}}</ref>
