  • Demo worth downloading?

    While I'm finding the best place to buy GalCiv in Oz, is the demo at some 58 GB worth the download?

    You may want to give it a shot before you buy it to ensure it's what you want. If it's possible to download it, I would.

        Imagine installing it if you bought it from a store. It'd be Windows 95 all over again.

          I'm just wondering how they could produce a 58 GB demo from a 400 MB game.

          Were that true, I think I'd rather play the demo, than the full game. With that size, the demo has to have extra features

            a 58 megabyte demo is small for today's standards.
            While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.

              58 gigabytes would be interesting to try to download

                I'd just come from a long Civ2 SP game trying to apply all the new insights into strategy

                I haven't even got that much hard disk space!

                  I've been impressed by the positive raves on this forum cf the controversy surrounding Civ3 and RoN.

                  58 *MB* could just about be managed on my slow dialup

                  No response from my query on the sticky thread on where to get GalCiv. To repeat the question here:

                  Anyone know of a better price for Oz than AUD$68?

                    If you're a fan of civ then GalCiv is definitely worth looking into.

                      Go get the game. Now. Or you'll regret it.
                      OK so what's the current deal? I've asked the question (best price and store for Down Under) but have got zilch response

                        Can't you order from Amazon like the rest of us fools?

                        Or order it direct from the website. You can DL it or order a disk there.

                        Personally I'd check some of the software portals, like gogamer or newegg.

                        Or you could check ebay, I prolly need to put my copy up there while it is still worth something.

                            If you're going to get the demo remember to delete a couple of the races via the start-up menu. I found that in the tiny galaxy you're given in the demo having 6 major races cramps the board too much.
