Digital Download

[smdodd]

Most of Matrix's other games are available for digital download, is there a chance that HttR can be purchased that way also?

[Marc von Martial]

Probably in the near future. But David Heath would have to confirm this.

Thanks for the response. I probably would have bought this game if it were available as a download. There have been many slow weekends that I would have gotten HttR. There's really nothing keeping me from getting it, other than having to wait for it to be delivered (and having my wife get the package- only to see her shake her head). I think digial download is perfect for a niche game like this.

Maybe Marc can produce an alternative packaging for the game.

Perhaps ...

Title: The Home Depot Handy Man's Companion

Description: Learn to perform more than 1,000 home improvement projects with this multi-media CD-ROM. The perfect package for lazy husbands and imaginative wives!

So, does "near future" mean it was mentioned in passing, and may be in the back of someone's mind? Or can I look forward to the digital download in a few weeks? (might as well buy it...)

That would NOT work in my home. Whenever my wife sees me with a DIY tool, she flips! Much more so than when you say "Are you mad because you're not well this week?!" [:D]

So whats the status of HTTR being on Digital Download???

Where i live the only shop who sell the game have run out, and they say they can't get anymore games from the publisher, its a real pain!!!! The guy in the store actualy said that the distributor was kind of odd, becouse they always ran out.

It would have been really nice if we could download the game, already got the strategy guide for it, great stuff.
But guess ill just have to go around and get it by mail, but that takes so much time

well atleast i can have fun with the demo of AA:RDOA and SP:WaW, just found out it was free and you could download it... i played SP2 a long time ago.

Well, ill be back with more questions when i get my copy, cya all then.

I ordered HTTR and it arrived within a few days. The manual was superb and the box looks great.

By the time the DD comes out you could be playing it.

Add me to the list of people waiting for digital download.

How heavy is the product, because £3.15 seems a little steep to me for basic Royal Mail Delivery, then again they are a robbing lot...

Watching a Bridge Too Far on TV. Would have bought this as an impulse buy if it was a download.

[marc420]

Well, bought it anyways. CD just showed in the mail yesterday. From one night's worth of playing with the system, I'm very glad I bought it. Not real sure why I held off .... maybe just the word "real-time" driving me away.

But this seems nicely done. You can pause the game and control the speed. So you don't get the clickfest feel. You do still seem to get the effect where you are watching part of your troops, an you hear gunfire from somewhere else and wonder what the heck is that. But the interface seems very nice at first glance, and its easy to pause the game then go see what's going on.

I've seen at least one other game that tried this sort of real-time commands, but this is much nicer. The other game I played a couple of times then uninstalled. HTTR seems to be a very nice implementation of this idea.

Still, it would have been very cool to have downloaded this and been playing it the same night as I was watching "A Bridge Too Far".
