I've been wondering...does anyone, by any change, have the release dates of all of Spiderweb's games. Here's what I found so far. Blades of Exile (PC) - 4/28/98 Avernum 1 (Mac) - 3/18/00 Blades of Avernum (Mac) - 3/18/04 Geneforge 3 (Mac?) - 5/30/05 Can someone else fill me in here? Thanks. -------------------- "Let us see what the new day brings." - Temas, Areni. Visit my realm! Rate My Scenarios!

Look in the Announcements forum. EDIT: And if you download every game the Version History document should have a date for 1.0.0.

I took the time once to get the Exile release dates from Usenet and put them into the Wikipedia article. UBB doesn't like wiki links.

Thanks everyone else for your advice, but BoE-Mac has no date written. All I know is 'December 1997.' (Yes, I have a copy on a Mac, but it isn't registered.)

My copy has a "history.txt" file in the BoE folder (the date for windows was 2/27/98). Presumably there's an equivalent file in the mac version? -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.

I would say December 12th, 1997, or possibly December 15th. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

You have far too much free time, BainIhrno. Go have a wank or something. -------------------- Nobody appreciates me. It's all "Igor! Fetch some wine!" "Igor! Clean up this experiment!" or "Igor!
