I'm looking to buy Corrosion Cold Winter Waiting and Phobos. I want the disc/boxed versions but all I seem to find are downloads. There are pictures of the box for Corrosion, so I know they must be out there somewhere.
I'm also looking for a boxed copy of Yoormujak' Ring.
If only the downloads are available , are ther any that are DRM free?

You can get a boxed copy of Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting from JA STORE But I think you are out of luck for Yoormujaks Ring and Phobos, at least for now, as they are both download only.

Colpet -- the English language version of Yoomurjak's Ring is, as far as I know, only available via download. The only place I've found it so far is at The Adventure Shop.

You don't happen to speak Hungarian, by chance? grin

Phobos has been released so recently that I haven't heard anything definite about a boxed version, though it's possible one will follow. I think we're at the "waiting for any information of any kind" stage.

Thanks for the replies. I put in an order at the JA store for Corrosion.I've already downloaded Yoormurjak's Ring and am playing it. I liked it so much that I wanted a hard copy.

Unfortunately it seems that more and more companies are heading towards the download only road in order to reduce costs. It looks like in a short time, downloads only will be norm and boxed versions will be a rare breed.

A downloaded game from GOG is better than a disc version that requires online authentication before it will play.

I haven't done any downloads yet and really don't want to or plan to although, I shouldn't say I never will even though that is how I feel at the moment. I'd rather do the online authentication on a disc version.

If GOG has a game you want, though, oldbroad, you can burn it to disc and Windows 7 makes it super easy to do. That way, you have the disc (but no box) and a DRM-free game with no need for on-line authentication.

Not to mention that the game is always waiting for you on your shelf at GOG anytime you want to download it again.

Hello,

I purchased and received the box version of Corrosion: Cold Waiting.

The game installed with no problems, but it will not play. a message says "Your Free Trial Has Expired". There is a place for a serial number but when I put in the seiral number I am told number is incorrect.

Does anyone know if there is an e-mail address to contract regarding this problem.

Thanks

June

I purchased the game from Just Adventure on the Internet and it was shipped from Tri Synergy Inc Livermore CA.

I received the game the next day after I ordered it on the Internet. I have been trying to play it ever since

Note: I think the serial number they give me is for the download only not the box edition. However when I try the download Norton antivirus keeps deleting it.*

The thing is I paid for the box edition and that is what I would like to use.

thanks

June

*Edited: I got the download game released from the Norton quarantian but again I get the Message that that "Your Free Trial Has Expired"

I would contact the JA store and see what they have to say. I would think there would be an email address on your confirmation order. luck

Efit: If you go to the JA shop there is a contact us option on the bottom of the page.

Hi Ana.

I will go to the JA shop and use their contact us option on the bottom of the page.

I will let you know what happens.

I am hoping that some of the other Boomers get the box edition and will let us know how it works for them.

Thanks

June

Edit: Ana I just sent e-mail to JA shop.

I got the boxed edition. I didn't realize they gave you a free game download with it. I don't have issues downloading a game, I just like to collect boxed versions of games. I used the serial number and link from my e-mail and downloaded Corrosion. It's nice that I can start it now rather than waiting for the mailed one to arrive.

Jenny is, as always, spot on.:) Lets hope Corrosion finds it's way to GOG (or Gamersgate without DRM) soon.

traveler - it is the actual downloading, and the burning to disc, and also Windows 7, that I object to. Don't like any of them! Too hard, too much work, too many problems waiting to happen.

Hi Ana,

While waiting for an answer from the JA shop, I tried downloading the download game of the Corrision-Cold Waiting game from the e-mail that came with the box edition purchase.

I used the serial number that was given to me at time of purchase. Then when I typed in the serial number given by JA shop in the e-mail I was told the serial number is incorrect and the game would not play.

I don't know what else to do I have written to the JA shop as yet I haven't got an answer (probably too soon).

Possibly I should have waited awhile for them to get all the kinks out of the game before I purchased it.

I will let you know if I hear anything or get any help.

June

Jfi, I am interested in the result too. I also ordered the game from JA along with the game Anna. I received Anna but have not received Corrosion yet for some reason. (I hope they didn't miss sending it out.) I don't really like the JA site anymore but wanted the games on disc, so I hope they are reliable people to deal with!!!

Have to agree with you there! I also still prefer boxes when I can get them, but I can be flexible when the arrangement is reasonable.

I just hope GOG starts getting more new games. These days, we have to worry about limited activations on the disk versions, which makes them even worse than most downloads now. In fact, I may even re-purchase some games I already have from GOG, such as The Whispered World and The Book of Unwritten Tales, simply because they're DRM free. Neither of these games have limited activations, but I know The Whispered World at least contains Securom, which makes it unplayable on one of our computers.

It would be nice if they could eventually get Captain Morgane and Dark Eye as well.

Oldboard,

When you get Corrosion will you let me know how it works?

I haven't heard anything from JA shop yet. I'll wait a few days and if I haven't heard anything I'll send a follow up.

Thanks

Jfi,

I received my Corrosion game and installed it and have played about an hour, stopping and exiting the game and going back into it just to make sure, and it seems to be working fine. I did not eject the disc and put it back in though.

Did you enter the serial number exactly as shown in your email, using capital letters and hyphens just like in the email? That is the only thing I can think of as to why you would have a problem at that point. After I entered mine it said: Activation Success! Your software has been successfully activated! Then I hit the OK button and was good to go.

Are you using Windows 7? If so, when you go to play, right click the game icon and choose run as administrator. That might helps something too.

Jackie
