Author Topic:   About the Australian versions

Back when SMAC first came out, I read in another forum that the Australian version was the same as the US version. However, the game I have has 'Asia-Pacific Edition' on the side, and specifically says it is not to be available in any form in the US. My specific question is: what type of 'enhancement' is compatible with this version?

hello fellow aussie.
where abouts in WA are you?? i am at uwa and am currnetly trying the US version of the V3.0 patch. my current problem is that i do not have the internet at home (im logging on from UWA) and the patch file is larger than one floppy disk (about 1.8 megs) however i suggest you try this. if it does not work then (please let me know) and just try the UK version of it.
i would appreciate an email from you as there are very few australians here (and even less west aussies) so i am very happy to run into you.

Being an east-Aussie I don't know if you want to talk to me, but I can confirm that US patch 3.0 works with the Asia/Pacific version.

Jaime I am perfectly happy to talk to any Aussie, especially when they can tell me what I want to know. Thanks.
Now I just have to decide whether I want to use the patches, with all the problems I have been hearing about them.
