I did some research and it seems the .3ds/.prj file format (assuming that's what they're saved in) hasn't really changed since the 90s so they should still all work fine. There's also a freeware student edition of 3ds Max available to people with a .edu email address in case one cannot use a converter like this one to change them into something else more palatable.

It's good to know the duck and some of the characters are safe and well, but do you have any for the terrain or the houses by any chance? I'm just sort of interested in what's still around.

>Didn't we figure out Justin still has the rights to all the models?

That was my assumption based upon historical information regarding the 50/50 split of Dink. Things may have changed since '98, but I assume that Justin Martin has all of the original graphics he made (including the non-3d ones like the king) since he was apparently the one who re-rendered the title screen for iPhone Dink (although I may be wrong).
