ianoid #16 Posted March 28, 2009 I'd like to download a gimped demo. Actually, I like the price point. Tempted just for that reason. But reviews from respected members or at least reviews would help. So much homebrew, so little attention span. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy Climber #18 Posted March 28, 2009 being produced in limited quantities and may pulled from the site at anytime. This is what I do not like, this statement, to me, sounds like you are trying to sell them as quickly as possible before the reviews come out and say what a shitty game it is. You will sell some this way because there are many people who must have them all, no matter how bad the game. Using the scare tactic of "may be pulled at anytime" will get them to purchase it sooner, thus lining your pockets even if the game is horrible. I would love for this to not be the case, please prove me wrong and release an awesome game, my money is on the game sucking balls though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Impaler_26 #21 Posted March 28, 2009 He posted a message on another site that said that it did come with a manual, but no box. JY Yep, a manual is mentioned in this post at DP. Before i even think about buying this game i would like to at least play a demo version or see a video of the game in action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hex65000 #22 Posted March 28, 2009 Actually, a Youtube video of footage would be ideal if the developer is concerned about having his code ripped. I have noticed that some developers can be a bit wacky about their code. With the Youtube solution he still controls the source / prerelease code, and the rest of us get a better idea of what he/you are selling. The price point is very appealing, but it would be nice to see what we're buying... Just trying to help. Hex. [ Doesn't know what to do: Eat? or Videogames?

Mr. Apollo #23 Posted March 29, 2009 As far as I can see the single requierement to place the order is having a Paypal account... do I get the game shipped to Spain for 20 bucks? Only NTSC version? Prehistoric Times will only be available in the US and Canada (and is NTSC) -sorry about that ! The preorder site has been updated to reflect this and we apologize for the communication error.

I can understand the NTSC version only - no problem about it, but limiting it to US & CAN when people from overseas have shown interest in it... those are potential customers. It's only adding more shipping costs in those cases! If you change your mind & accept orders from other countries let me know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
