I just stumbled across Lost Chronicles of Zerzura on Amazon (CD format) available for pre-order. Release date shown is Oct. 30! I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already, but it's a happy discovery if the release date is real.

THanks ergggo!

Yes, thank you ergggo.

Intriguing -- published by Viva.

Is the game in German.
Richard

The Viva version selling out of the Amazon store would be in English. Amazon isn't always the most accurate in terms of release dates, though.

I am waiting for confirmation from Viva.

Ana

There is no definitive release date yet per the publisher, so please take the Amazon date with a grain of salt. When there is a date, I will be putting up an official press release to announce it.

Ana

Thanks Ana!

YOu are welcome oldbroad.

Ana

Thanks for checking, Ana. I wonder how Amazon came up with Oct. 30? In any case, they got my order and I'm hoping it won't slip too much.

When I first saw the offering it was listed as a CD ROM, but now they're showing it as a DVD, which makes more sense.

Amazon likes to jump the gun on dates, sometimes they are right and other times they can be way off. We shall see how close they are.

I do hope we see this game eventually, as it looked really intriguing. Have been waiting for this one and Haunted for a while now.

Just following up on this thread: Amazon says they have shipped my order of this game. Unfortunately, they now say its temporarily out of stock. I think the game download is available now on Gamestop's download website, though I've never used it.

Looks like you can download it from Amazon now too.

I can confirm that the downloadable version of the English language game is available for purchase at the following sites:

AMAZON.COM
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009WWHW0I

GAMESTOP.COM (IMPULSE)
http://www.impulsedriven.com/products/ESD-IMP-W3837


A DVD-ROM Version of the game is also available at AMAZON.COM**:

(** Note: Availablilty of the DVD-ROM version in the US may be impacted temporarily by after effects of Hurricane Sandy)

This is published by Viva Media. However, please note that Viva is based in the NYC area and may be experiencing communication outages as well due to Hurricane Sandy. This should not however delay delivery of digital downloads purchased from Amazon or Gamestop.

Thanks Tony, and to GameBoomers!

Ana

Great news! Thanks for the info, and to Gameboomers, tonyc0818.

I think I'll hold out for the disk version to come in again and pick it up as soon as it arrives. Glad to know the game is available, as I've been waiting to play it.

Mine is on the way from Amazon.

Gil.

A very tough time for a New York area publisher to be releasing a disk verison. Hope everything is okay at Viva. Good to know that the downloads are currently available.

This game looks great! hope they release it here in the U.K.

Hey,

I got my pre-ordered copy today and it was mailed from Lexington, Kentucky, so there may not be any problem ordering a disk version from Amazon for those of you who want it in a box.

Gil.

That's good news! Thanks traveler.

What a great-great game. Can't stop playing it.
I downloaded it from Amazon. Worth every penny. Got stuck on a few places but figured it out.
Richard

I'm enjoying it, too, Richard. Stuck right now but I expect to be out of the bilge soon. <g>


Gil.

Still waiting for the download to complete. Amazon is slow on this one, at least for me, estimated to take over 8 hours total for 3.33GB

Big download it took me about 2 hrs. I think I'm stuck in the bilge to Gil.


Richard

Wonder why mine is taking so long, I do have high speed cable. I wonder if it because I use FireFox

I'm using IE8. Shouldn't make any difference greyFuss.
Richard

Much information can be found here....

Thanks Count Zero!

Is this game pointand click or action? Thanks. Vicki

Yes, it is.

Ordered the boxed version from Amazon so I have to wait till it becomes available.

This link has a demo available for download, and although the page is in English, the demo appears to be in German. At least the installation setup screens were in German. I aborted the installation because I don't understand German. Does anybody know if there is an English demo available, or if this demo, after it's installed will have English gameplay options?

After finishing the game here are one plus and one minus thoughts on Zerzura

+ 1. The game is quite long
- 2. The game is is a pixel hunt with try everything on everything inventory.

I enjoyed the game and I thought that it was very MacGyverish. Maybe it is my scientific background that made it logical to me.

Pressing the space bar shows all hotspots.

I finished it also.

I'm following the German WT. I have to translate it and it's hard to read it in english. It's a nice game and quite long.
Richard

One is coming Richard. Just writing and replaying at the moment.

If you want a partial and very rough one til desert - tell me and I'll send it to you.

Thanks MaG. Wondering if you were going to write one. Will wait until you get done.
Richard

Thanks, Richard. Don't have pics yet.

I wish I would have ordered when ergggo first posted like I meant to. Now I'm stuck waiting (not that it will get played right away anyway but...)
