Hi all

Yesterday I got Anacapri-The Dream. I'am wondering now whether there's another Boomie already walking the streets of Anacapri? It wouldn't be so lonely........

MaG:


Ciao a tutti!

Gimli

How exciting, Gimli! I have another month to wait..

Enjoy the game

Gimli,

Post at Hints forum so that we can help you.

There is a contest out in Europe on who finishes the game first. I can't post the walkthrough until that is done.

A friend of mine in The Netherlands is playing this right now and is finding it very soothing and enjoyable. I'm looking forward to it.

Hi all and thanks for the postings! Capri is really very beautiful!

MaG: no problems for the moment. Thanks anyway. Will come to Hints when needed now that I know that you can/will help.

Greetings!
Gimli

I didn't realize it was out yet.
Maybe only in Europe?

...And we don't! Nice to see you Gimli! Hope you have fun with it.
So MaG is in the credits, huh? Interesting!

Jenny100 -- only in Europe as far as I know. (Of course, it could have released in Australia while I wasn't paying attention.) North American release will be in August.

Thanks, Becky.

I was there on May 19th. Didn't see you, so I left.
Incidentally, Anacapri is pretty high up the mountain, so be careful if you don't like heights. You get there via the "Mama mia" road, so called because the edge of the road is next to a sheer drop of hundreds of feet to the rocks below.

Hi Gimli,
I got mine last week direct from Italy. Have had a quick walk around and will start shortly, need to finish Dead Reefs first. Will you be able to go on the east side of the island where most of the action took place in'A Quiet Weekend' or does the game concentrate on the west side? I have a poor sense of direction and got to know the 'eastside' really well.

Jenny100: as Becky already wrote it's been released in Europe on June 30.

Hi Nicki so pleased to see you Well, I guess it's no secret that Marita was involved in testing the game and writing the WT, because anybody can read it in the booklet.
Sorry for you that you have to wait another month or two :/

Hey ray: your posting confused me a little because the game is released only since June 30 - but after reading it a few times I understood that you were really there... Did you enjoy it? Wonderful island isn't it!

Upsydaisy: I made a general tour so far and looked here and there and walked the streets a bit. Will start playing in earnest mid week. Maybe we will meet

Guess I will be in Hints a few times MaG

Greetings from Gimli

My order status with GotGame (through Amazon)says delivery anywhere between Aug 2-16th. It's killing me! Any first impressions of the game? I am really happy someone has it.

or I don't know which! Happy for you all playing the game but now more antsy than ever waiting on it.

Sorry about that. I was trying to be coy and didn't succeed too well. Yes, I was really there. Haven't seen the game yet and I understand it will be a while before it's out in the U.S.

So, yes, it's also true what I said about the "Mama Mia" road. My cowardly companions had hysterics for ten minutes because of that. Being intrepid, mine lasted only five.

I'm very jealous!!

I've been playing Travelogue Rome:The Curse of the Necklace (a casual game) and its really been whetting my appetite for the upcoming Anacapri game. Can't wait!

Can anyone tell me if the game Anacapri The Dream will be on CD or is it only on DVD.
Thank you

Redcell -- I believe that the North American version will be on DVD.

That is to bad. A lot of players do not have DVD. I think this will cut down on sales. There is not a lot of imformation on this aspect of the game. Thank you for your reply

Redcell -- we did a poll recently, and everyone who responded did have a DVD drive. I even asked anyone who didn't have a DVD drive to please post that info, and no one responded.

Do you not have a DVD drive?

No, I do not have a DVD drive, CD only.

Redcell -- there are exterior DVD drives that are inexpensive and easy to use. I know that the tech experts in the Glitches forum would be able to give you recommendations as to what to look for when purchasing one.

More and more games are coming out on DVD now -- I think the tide is finally turning that way.

Thanks for that information. I will look into it. Playing games on the computer is a joy to me. I keep myself occupied by doing this. I am so glad for this web site where you can get so much information. Thank you again.

Oh a whole month or so to wait for the game. I'm drooling and very envies over all who are playing it. Seems like I've been waiting for ever. Diane

I sent email to Gey regarding the delay of Anacapri (NA) He very kindly replied and thought I would share his response.

"The process to obtain the rating (now set to E 10+) from the ESRB has been longer than usual. In addition, one player of the Italian edition has discovered a very minor bug, that we decided to correct in the U.S. version.
But, be patient! I am sure you will not deceived from the game, that is one order of magnitude better than “A Quiet weekend in Capri” considered from all point of view – story, technology, depth, playability. "

He then sent me some screen shots. Very nice.

That's great info birddog -- thanks!

Since I did not know what ESRB E10 meant - I looked it up. Probably everyone else knows but if don't: Entertainment Software Rating Board. E10 is Everyone 10 years & older.

Thanks for all the info. I have been wondering why there's been a delay in shipping my game.

Hey, I'm just glad we're getting it this year. I've been waiting 2 years (or, has it been longer?).

Yeah, me too... & it seems like it's been longer! Mine's been on pre-order from Amazon.. & on Monday I got the Order Update/Revision notice saying the release date had been moved to September. If you got that notice, Joanie, be sure to respond to keep your order open.

I got that notice too and this is the second time they've pushed back the release. Does anyone know what the hang-up is?

Never mind, just read back posts!

See above for Gey's explanation to Birddog.

Saw your edit just now.

I have a question. Will this game be the slideshow style (if that is the right term) as was in Quiet Weekend?

Yes, it is similar to how Quiet Weekend is set up.
The story and the puzzles are more complex though.

MaG... I hope Gey & Silvio know that we'll happily and patiently await any & all of their efforts to make our 'vacation' smooth & glitch-free. Please, take your time... we'll be ready when you & the game are ready!

In the meantime, my 'bags are packed' & I'm ready to 'set sail' !!

Thanks MaG. Not my favorite style but the game sounds real interesting so I'll more than likely try it when it does get here.

Not out here yet Becky.
It plays the same as Quiet Weekend but I think better constructed.
Missed the Italian language though.

When I first started playing, I thought the same thing Oldman. Didn't take long to fall under the magical spell of the isle of Capri, & become fully immersed in its environment. Interacting with the locals (people & cats) was a special treat as well, & further brought the game's environment to life. Yes, give it a try if you can.

A review of Anacapri in case anybodys interested.

Thanks Patchman! Nice review, flotsam!

After reading the reveiw I'm all the more anxious to play the game. OH September is so far away. Diane
