Author Topic:   Asia-Pacific version and V2.0

Can V2.0 upgrade apply to Asia-Pacific version (your website only discusses US and UK/European versions)?
If not when will upgrade be available?
Why are there different country versions and why the difference in upgrade availability?
This is certainly a discouragement to supporting local retailer vs US mail order

I've been hesitating to say this, in case EA get some `wise' ideas, but the Asia/Pacific appears to be identical to the US version: no copy protection, same box contents, and US patch 2.0 works.
This is on a P-100 with a cheap sound card, so I do have a speed issue on large land maps, and an echo, echo, but otherwise it's just fine.
