The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/03/08 09:03 PM

Spines tingle and hairs raise as a ghostly new suspense-adventure game for the PC haunts retail shelves this week


Quote:
Got Game Entertainment LLC today announced that the “The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure” has shipped to North American retail. Created by adventure gaming legend Jonathan Boakes (“Dark Fall”, “Dark Fall II: Lights Out”) and his Darkling Room team, this highly anticipated suspense-adventure game for the PC combines a dense, rich, spine-tingling story inspired by classic ghost stories with today’s modern ghost-hunting techniques. With an intuitive interface which allows players to wield the tools of a paranormal investigator, an impressive cast of 3D characters, actual E.V.P. (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recordings, and photographs of unexplained entities captured by Boakes while researching the game, “The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure” brings a frightening story to bone-chilling life.

“A classic ghost story, whether old or new, should have us believe that something ‘unexplainable’ surrounds and influences us,” said creator Jonathan Boakes. “And, if we are lucky, it should scare us into realizing that there truly are ‘more things in heaven and earth’ than the absolute skeptics would like us to believe.”


“The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure” will retail for $29.99 (USD) and is rated “T” for Teen for Alcohol Reference, Blood, Mild Language, and Violence.

Darleen/BrownEyed Tigre, I ordered this back in Oct. I can't seem to email Dave using the link on the interact site. It won't send. Did you use the link, or e-mail them directly. The site kept asking me to put in info about my server that I could not answer. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. Thanks anyway.

Dave sent me an email, I did not email him. I am sure he is making his way through his orders and you will get an email shortly.

Re: The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/03/08 10:21 PM

Thanks for answering so quickly Darleen and Ana,
I didn't understand about the POP server, so I ended up mailing him via AOL. So hopefully I will here from them soon. One last question if I may, I don't have to reorder do I? My card was not charged for the game cause it hadn't shipped yet. They should now charge my card and ship it, yes? Thanks again(I realize I shoul be asking Dave these questions).

You can go to InteractCD and log on to your account and check the status thracia. If you ordered it you should not have to do anything but wait for him to send you the tracking info.

Re: The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/04/08 05:53 PM

Anyone any idea when we might get this game over here in UK? I have searched everywhere but can't find a UK date.


Posted By: Becky

Re: The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/04/08 05:56 PM

Technogran -- I haven't seen a UK release date or publisher yet either. It would be odd if the game wasn't published in the UK eventually, but it might take awhile.

Re: The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/04/08 05:56 PM

Technogran, you can get it from InteractCd on the highlighted yellow link above. Many of our UK Boomers order through them.

Re: The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/05/08 01:40 PM

I cannot believe it! I ordered this from Interact when the game first went in for pre-orders. Checking to see why I haven't gotten an e-mail, I see there isn't any order pending for me!!! Guess I didn't press the right button. All my months of waiting waiting waiting and now still more. What horrible thing did I do in my life to deserve this! Well, I will just have to live vicariously through you gamers receiving your copies and e-mailing messages until my copy straggles in. Enjoy!!!!!!!

Re: The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/05/08 02:26 PM

Fortunately Joanie, Dave is quick and if you order now he'll probably have it well on the way by the time the day is over. lol Sorry you have to wait though, good thing you checked!

I ordered Mar 3rd, and by yesterday (Mar 4) it was on it's way. And he is sending it right from the distributors (they are in Minnesita like I am). So I should have it either Thursday or Friday. That is very quick. I will be having a great weekend.

Re: The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/05/08 10:36 PM

Mine shipped yesterday. Dave was quick about getting the orders out.Hopefully it will be here in the next day or two. I think I will wait until its dark to start playing, so it's even more spooky.Hope a walthrough is available soon too. I can never finish a game without one.(Ain't I the impatient one?).

bravo Mine arrived yesterday as well...I had ordered it many many moons ago. Spent some time last night playing it. (I have been re-playing Dark Fall in anticipation) I like it. As you say Inferno, I think I will also take my time enjoying this one as it unfolds. All this and "Overclocked" around the corner. (Another long-awaited title) Whooo Hooo!! monky

Re: The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/09/08 01:36 AM

Hi ya Scootergirl and welcome to GameBoomers.

There is a patch for the game Here (Scroll all the way to the bottom). I don't know if that will help, but I would try it and see.

There are also several threads about game just a bit further down in this thread.

If you continue to be unable to get it to run, you can post in our Glitches forum for help. They will need some information about your computer though to be able to help.

luck

scootergirl,

Did you click on the tarot card at bottom right to get the game menu?

If you have other problems, please post at Hints or Glitches - depending on the question. Thanks.

I asked at Best Buy today and the guy I spoke with said they have it, but it's not offically supposed to hit the shelves until 3/13. I might check at Gamestop tomorrow, see if they have it out.

No dying and no dead ends. smile

Just got mine and installed it! smile Started it just to see the intro but will actually start playing it tomorrow.

For those that are having problems running the game, you must install the directx from the cd even if you have the latest version (at least for XP, don't know about vista). I have the most up to date version but the game installs some necessary dll files for the game to run.

I did not have to install it Misa but that has happened to me in the past. Thanks for the reminder!

Re: The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure has Shipped to Stores in North America - 03/14/08 03:17 AM

Ah! You must have had the dlls from a previous game. smile I installed it first without updating directx from the game but then went back to install it after the game wouldn't start because of missing dlls.

I'm impressed that some of you found this in Best Buy. I wandered in my local BB today and didn't see it on the shelf so I asked a customer service person to look it up. She called it up on her computer and said "Oh, we had this on the shelves over the Christmas holidays but the only way you can get it now is to order from Bestbuy.com." I said "Oh really, can you double check the name on that title one more time please?" She came back with the same information and I just said that was interesting because it only started showing up on the store shelves in March. She then gave me the deer in the head lights look. I will order online but not from Best Buy.
