Sorry, not just yet. We're working on getting the game uploaded to an FTP server soon though. Also a large online adventure game magazine might host it for us. Please bear with us for the time being.. <p></p><i></i>

The problems araise early when I try to follow your downloading instructions... I wen to the german (?) mirror... But when I clicked on the button, it try to download a html file... It asked me if I want to open it or run it... I select to open it.. Then it ask me again for another html, I selected open it too... Then It asked me (yes, once again) to open or save an EXE file.. This time I choose to save it.<br><br>It seems to download ok but when I try to install it I got the message: The file contains invalid data.<br><br>What's wrong?<br><br>I think I could use my ftp as a mirror site if you are interested...<br><br>Will<br>PD: Thanks in advance for your time and efforts... Despite the bad or good the game could be (Im sure its terrific!), you deserve all my gratitude for your effort.. Thanks again. <br><br>An platonic lover of Roberta Williams.... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Hi there DrakkarST. Sorry to hear about the trouble with installing the game. It sounds as if the download has just got corrupted during the downloading process, and I guess you'd just have to redownload it again.<br><br>Thanks for the offer of the FTP space. If you'd be willing to host the files, even just till we get the game up on our own server that would be a great! Please email us at kqvga@hotmail.com if you can help. Thanks again for the offer<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

It did the same to me... but that was when the download stopped too soon (my internet lost connection in the middle of it--bummer). So maybe it just didn't finish? <p></p><i></i>
