That's my entry.[/QUOTE]
2 hours up you win etc
Yaaaaaaaay. I'm going to play the game later today.
I'd highly advise it, I've had the disks for years, and it's always fun.
Very short, though - only 2 islands. Oh well, nefarious traps are always great.
Anyone know the best place to get unofficial patches for this game?

[QUOTE=darth-veger;33075273]I would still prefer Steam, since the game does not even has DRM[/QUOTE]
Steam is DRM.
I wanted to try this for several years and bought it at a discount a while back. I found it a little confusing at first and spent some time figuring things out, but it was quick to suck me in - even prior to that I enjoyed myself. Not only have I had one hell of a time playing it, I've spent time out of the game plotting how I'm going to advance my evil plans, wondering what my research team will come up with next and generally just planning world domination. There are difficulty spikes, but they're not enough to stop the evil cause. For the price given, this is an absolute bargain.
Totally worth it.
Went ahead and bought it. I've heard too much good stuff about it to not pick it up for $2.50.
I have heard nothing but good about it, but since I bought Battlefield 3 yesterday, I don't have any money to buy it :(
Retail version is better, you cannot mod the steam version

Really? I never noticed, you can play games offline or online anyway.
I don't really see Steam as a DRM.. And why pay more?

I thought that you could, but it was a pain.
Even then, it's still worth it vanilla, just not as amazing (unofficial patch is really good)
Sooo, can you patch it or not?

Steam is almost the textbook definition of DRM. No that I'm complaining though, Steam actually has some good services on top of that unlike most other DRM.
I think steam normally isn't labelled as DRM because people are so used to DRM being a bad thing.
Plus it's like everyone and their grandmother has Steam these days.
Two and a half euros?
Time to live out my world dominance fantasies.....

I remember a friend of mine telling me about this a while ago. From what I remember, he said it was fun, so I bought it. Now I have even less money for the Winter Sale, thanks Steam.
How is this good? What makes this game so great? I might buy it, I just want to know the pros and cons and what all the hype's about.
The game's pacing is slow, good music from a talented composer, AI can get dumb at times, lots of different traps to lay around your base and the results can be disastrously fun to watch

Well, shit.
I did everything that was said in my link and the game works fine.
Are there any real differences between the two besides ease of installation?

You could just try the demo. That's what they are for.
Ok bought it, i'm going to have a fun night

You're an evil Genius with your own lair, full of traps, hencmen and 60's era james bond super spies.
Would i be able to use mods such as Population mod and texture mods with the Steam version?

Yes
Sweet. I was going to buy this because I've had fun with it before, but was greeted with a message saying I already own it. :v:
Great game though, definitely worth the price it's going for now.
