Hello,

Orion Prime, the biggest aventure game on CPC, can now be ordered in English, Spanish, and French ! The ordering will stop at the end of April, so don't waste time and order as soon as possible, by cheque or Paypal. Downloadable versions will be available at the end of June.

Evrything you need to know is here :

See you soon,
Targhan/Arkos.

Hi Julien,
how's about a German version? Is it cancelled or will it also be released?

Octoate · 22:17, 15 March 10

Ordered my version

.

@Devilmarkus: Here is what they wrote on their website

German version will not be released as a Package. It may also not be released as download.

Order placed. I'm still interested in a german version, but don't mind playing it in english before.

P.s. Did you consider offering bank-transfer? With IBAN it's not hard inside the european union. You probably already have an IBAN number with your bank account, even though you might not know. Much easier than sending a cheque and interesting for those people who refuse to use paypal.

I would also order when I can pay with IBAN/BIC!

Octoate · 22:44, 15 March 10

Ordered and payed

. Can't wait to get my version...

Targhan · 23:14, 15 March 10

Don't count on the german version. I've tried several times to get it done, I may change my mind but right now, I'm fed up with it. Sorry

. Octoate did a great job and proof readed efficiently, but both translators stopped responding.

@DevilMarkus:
I'm not confident about spreading my IBAN/BIC around the web, that's why Paypal will be used. Remember we're not an industry, just normal guys with no offshore account

Well, you shouldn't spread it... But if someone asks, you could PM it

(I have no paypal and cheque)

Aaaaah, finally! I was already boring Julien when the english version will be finally released!

It is a pitty that the german version is on hold, as it would have completed the release, even I prefer the english version.

PayPal is nowadays almost a must in my opinion. So much stuff I could have never ordered without my PayPal account. And I dont see the problem into using it, as it just deducts the money from my banking account as I used it. Not much different then electronic bank transfer itself!
So Markus, go and make a PayPal account, takes just 5 minutes!

viddi · 09:29, 16 March 10

Yeah, ordered mine!

Markus, I could pay for you if you want.
Just send me the money via bank transfer...
PM me if you want me to do it.

So like offered already very often... ;-) Send me the text to futuresoft@gmx.de and you will get the translation quick. I'm not Prodatron, I'm not Poliander - I'm TFM and I uphold my word. Octoate will be pleased to proofread my translation!.

Hope really we can save the german version !!!

ukmarkh · 21:27, 17 March 10

Placed my order for the English version... woo hoo

Gryzor · 13:01, 19 March 10

Ordered, both in 3" and 3.5". I haven't spent that much money for new CPC software since.... well, I don't remember actually!!! Over 20 years maybe!

ukmarkh · 16:48, 19 March 10

This game had better live upto the hype? The distrubution seems to be handled far better than Star Sabre, I was never able to buy a copy of that game on any sort of disk, only shitty tape.

And I thought you cracked all the games 20 years ago ;-)

Looking forward for the Boxed Version! (Only have to get that cheque out). OP writes legends and displaces the c64 finally! What a great job!

Yes, the tape idea was a nice joke, but a 3" disc (or even better 3.5" disc) would have been fine. Great game anyway.

Will there be a boxed version? Really??? Oh crap, another load of money down the CPC drain

And, well, I didn't pirate ALL of them, just most of them

Makes me wonder what was the last game I bought as an original... now that's an interesting discussion!

Not true

available from psytronik on 3" disk

ukmarkh · 10:30, 30 March 10

What do you mean not true, this has only just become available on 3" disk... Star Sabre has been out for ages now.

Big question here, I do wanna buy it, but why so expensive?

Gryzor · 10:32, 30 March 10

Yeah, true, GBP13 plus P&P is a bit steep... But I want it! I don't remember if I have bought it before though

Targhan · 16:26, 20 April 10

Hi all,
Just a little and last reminder to tell that only one and a half week remains before the end of the ordering session of Orion Prime ! Once April the 30th is passed, all non paid orders will be cancelled, and it won't be EVER possible to order the package release.
For the people interested : http://op.cpcscene.com

Hurry on guys, don't miss this chance! The developpers really deserve any kind of appeciation. No commercial project ever reached the level of OP!

Gryzor · 08:34, 21 April 10

If I wasn't getting married I'd get a box full of both versions...

Maybe you can buy a copy from one of those people who's ordering 2 copies.
