New 'Alpha centauri complete' in stores

[Alinestra Covelia]

Ooh, hang on! Mastertronic has a link...

AND THEY SHIP WORLDWIDE!!

Yay!

Okay, credit card time...

You could ask English 'Polytoners to make an honest woman out of you.

A very sweet, if ultimately doomed, idea. Nobody can make anything honest out of me. Trust me, I'm almost a lawyer!

[Krill]

I know of another Durham student from around your time AC that went to Trevs, you should meet up at an alumni weekend.

Or if your busy he's in Texas atm...

..... Trust me, I'm almost a lawyer!

This is just the classic line(ok you added 'almost')....but yeah never trust a lawyer....even a cool/nice one!

Glad you can get hold of it via Mastertronic, as you say AC without AC seems wrong, dangerous even?

I wonder why this hasn't been released state side? That is weird in the nth degree? maybe US posters should spam Masertronic/EA on getting this great bundle released in your neck of the woods?

For those of you not in the UK, here is the link to the aforementioned site: http://www.mastertronic.com/productS...oductLabelID=1

Thanks for the find El Cid and the sneaky link to Mastertronic Alinestra/paramir. I've managed to snag a copy of SMAC in a garage sale awhile back, but hadn't found a replacement copy for SMAX.

Dang double posting bugs with untested Greasemonkey scripts...

[Andemagne]

Does this mean that Firaxis won't be releasing SMAC2 anytime soon?

[DrSpike]

That is true - but not really because of this.

[TLF]

There is a site called cdwow that is a U.S. site that has it.

They also have sites in other Countries so maybe they are just importing it.

[TLF]

I ordered mine from mastertronics on April 2nd. I still haven't received it or an email confirming shipping. I live in the U.S.
I did receive an order confirmation.

How long should this take?

[El_Cid]

Not sure TLF, maybe AC can tell you how it went for her? You have tried emailing them again i take it? if so do it again! It does sound like long enough to ship it to you, but yeah chase them up on your order.

[Alinestra Covelia]

I placed my order (and got order confirmation) about three days ago. So TLF is much more likely to be higher up in the process than me

So... um... maybe TLF can tell me how long MY wait will be :P

Does it actually work properly on Vista?

[Guynemer]

I just reinstalled SMAC & SMACX on my new Vista system; the SMAC forum here actually has very good instructions in getting it to work. Haven't run into any problems.

[TLF]

I just received my copy.

It says Vista Compatible on the case, for the people who were asking. I don't run Vista so can't actually confirm.

Small print on the back of the case says that this is published by Mastertronics.

I see the warning about copy protection.
I don't know if I should install as this computer is also my home music studio computer.
If my disk went down because of a game I'd be more than aggravated.

I don't own any games with copy protection so I don't know what to expect.
