Matrix Games Forums

One thing, that troubles me, when I bought War in the Pacific, is - did I get a real original? The cd looks like burned with paper cover, the paper insert looks like printed. Is there only that sort of print or does exist a proper factory edition? Then, are most of the matrixgames games released like that? Thanks a lot! Jiri

Here are some pictures of that: - first is cd from bellow, like you see, factory release is silver, that one is not.

Same cd from above...

Paper cover - from kind of inkjet or something

That looks like Matrix standard. Doesn't the CD work properly...?

Hi,

Well you got a better looking cd and cover compared to mine when I bought it 2 years ago.[:D] Most of us who bought it when it just came out only came with a cd and no cover. I am jealous.[:D][;)]

Well, yes it works properly. I expected a diamond of my own collection and I didn't count that there could be sort of "home" release.

Has this game been out for two years already? Wow your right. I just started up another campaign the other day. Guess I've gotten my money's worth.

I just dug up the cd I got and it doesn't even say "War in the Pacific" on it.[:D] The cd label just has the Matrix Games logo along with my name on it and to top it off it just came in a cardboard cd mailer. No fancy DVD case for me.

You kids today are spolied with all your proper labels and fancy packaging.

Well, if you have a collection of games and all of them are factory prints, you will not be too happy with that even... And yes, I like nice boxes ))

Nicer than my original.
 
It's blue & white, whith basic "War in the Pacific" lettering.  Jewel case, is just that, a jewel case, no insert...

Looks exactly like what Matrix used at Origins 2 years ago. Got mine from David Heath's own hands then. Can you register the serial number?

I didn't try to register, but I suppose, there will be not a problem. Well, on the beginning I was thinking about that I may be the unlucky one, who have sort of cheap reissue release or who was tricked by the seller. Now it looks, like I shall be very happy! [:)]

Standard Matrix issue. Welcome aboard!

and kiss your free time goodbye.

More seriously, I believe Matrix was expecting to do most of their WiTP sales via Digital Download so weren't really set up for mass CD production.

I got a professional box, cover and disk. Here's the link with the photo of my copy being purchased. Thanks again Xargun!!!

Yes... I definitely feel myself to be one of those who can claim to be a WITP plankholder!

All I got was a blank CD in a cardboard holder that I have never used.  A nice box to sit in my book case would be great to look at, but I am too busy playing the dang game to sit around appreciating the beauty of the box it might have come in.
