Carla PR Liaison Addicted Boomer Registered: 03/20/01 Posts: 2684 Loc: United Kingdom	Good news for who wants to buy Alpha Polaris, the new horror adventure game created by Finnish developers Turmoil Games: the game is available for digital download from the Official Website for only 9.95 USD. Quote: In the midst of the snowfields of Greenland lies Alpha Polaris™, an American oil research station. High above, the ion storm of the century is gathering, bringing about a strange intermixing of reality and night terrors. It is up to Rune Knudsen, a Norwegian biologist, to take on a desperate struggle against fear and death, and to face the primordial force lurking beyond the veiled sky. Mature, character-driven storyline Streamlined point & click interface Puzzles are an integral part of the story 3D characters in beautiful, pre-rendered scenes Full spoken dialogue 1280x800 widescreen resolution Expressive, hand-drawn dialogue portraits Atmospheric soundscape including original soundtrack On the site you will find screenshots and you can download the demo of the game to try before you buy and don't forget to read our Rushes review. Enjoy! _________________________ Carla “Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.”

GBC Adept Boomer Registered: 07/06/07 Posts: 10268 Loc: Massachusetts	Alpha Polaris is on a disc also for $10.00 but the only way to get it is you have to order the download also for $9.95 from what I understand. _________________________ Gail

This is a bit unrelated, but below is an unpublished cover art from Alpha Polaris I thought you might find interesting. Click here to see a larger version. Cheers! Veera edit: I forgot to answer the question about the german edition of Alpha Polaris sold on Amazon.de - it only has a german language pack so please wait for the english language box version or buy the digital download. _________________________ How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

GuybrushThreepwood Addicted Boomer Registered: 09/06/03 Posts: 2461 Loc: Lincoln, NE	They sure don't make it easy to get the game. Note I blame electronic merchant company not the programmers. I waited over half an hour for credit card to process then gave up. Got an email saying bank declined payment. I reordered using PayPal. Which should have worked instantly. But then I get an email saying they have to verify payment, which is nonsense. PayPal did that.

Veera Shy Boomer Registered: 12/15/09 Posts: 25 Loc: Rovaniemi, Finland	Hi all! Thanks for posting this information Carla! I already fixed my initial post on the subject, but I will mention it here also: I found out that you can also get the english digital download at Strategy First. For an additional fee you can get a backup cd (no retail packaging). GuybrushThreepwood I will forward your experience with the webstore to Turmoil Games and see if there is something we can do to make it better! - Veera

sureshot Settled Boomer Registered: 10/10/09 Posts: 391 Loc: New Jersey Shore	Hi all - I have a different issue with BMT I placed the order on-line Thursday evening - waited about 5 hours for them to get back to me. They sent me an email with my order confirmation today, 9/23. When I got home from work, I tried to download the software per their links. I got a page saying the Password Is Blocked !! In their email - I was advised I have until October 23rd to download the software !! Are they looking at the correct calendar ??? !!! Oh - their 800 # loops you around a bit but HEY it's Friday about 7:30 pm - I am not going to get anywhere til Monday anyway!!!! My first and last experience with these folks !!
