Post by: Buster's Uncle on July 25, 2015, 06:44:07 PM

I posted this here thing in 'poly OT according to the true reasoning I relate up front, then realized the same applies here, aside from the P.S. trolling the entire Moby-DinoDoc spectrum...

What the heck - it's limited-time, and nobody'll see this if I leave it just posted in the appropriate on-topic place.

Anyone remember what the largest discount it goes on sale for might be? I got the Planetary Pack off ebay many, many moons ago, so I don't need it now, but I think someday I might buy it from GOG.

$2.39 is as low as I ever see.  It is the Planetary Pack they offer (w/ GOG patching)...

So this will work on a Windows 8.1 laptop?

(I got one of those Windows 10 invites, but since none of my games are Win 10 compatible, I didn't bite)

The 'poly Troll Pit thread got *RAH* to finally try SMACX.

Talk about ego-boo.  I am the Lizard King!  I can do anything!

Okay, I made an account, and couldn't figure out how to pay for the thing until I realized that it won't work there if Ad-Block is turned on.

So now I've got the game. Haven't done anything else with it yet.

Yep, good thing I postponed Iron Pen. We would have been stalled partway through.

So I might just be able to give this another go for the first time since I had a Windows XP computer.

Anything to report, Val?

Not yet. I got as far as buying it, but haven't had a chance to do anything else.

Well, okay, I would have had a chance, but keep getting sidetracked onto other things...

I should really try it before the 30 days are up.
