1. Geneforge 3's CD says it copyright 1995. GF 2's says it's 1996. Why is that? 2. Where can you buy those nice cases? Posts: 9 | Registered: Thursday, May 10 2007 07:00 |

If they say 95 and 96, that is exceedingly odd, because they definitely came out later than that. :P As for the plastic cases, I've seen them at Walmart. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

My bet is that Jeff copy-pasted without proofreading very carefully. It happens. Exile III rejects corrupted save files with the message that "this is not an Exile II save file", for example.

The copyright dates may refer to when he initially started work. But Jeff does get lazy about non essential text when copying from older games. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Jeff was probably just tired when he did that. Staring at a computer all day can be very tiring and stressful. -------------------- I can transform into almost anything, though not sanity.

I am pretty sure they came out in '03 and '04 maybe he used an old exile disk to write the games onto. -------------------- "640K ought to be enough for anybody." -- Bill Gates, 1981 The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead. Posts: 152 | Registered: Monday, November 6 2006 08:00 |

I love those cases too. Something that has been angering me about computer games recently is that many are now coming in new, oversized cases that don't fit into racks, forcing me to buy new cases. Bastards. I suppose Jeff's don't fit into my racks either, but at least they are small enough to not take up too much space. -------------------- You lose.
