Title: Crimsonland
Post by: Spriggan on May 14, 2003, 06:09:17 AM
I read about this game at Penny arcade and downloaded the demo, which is the complete game with a 35 hour max play limit and a few features missing, and wow it's fun.

I'm downloading it now.  I had endless hours of fun with Smash TV back in the day.  

35 hour play limit huh?  Couldn't you just delete it from the hard drive and reinstall to restore function?

Probably, if you know which reg key or how to find it you also need to delete and you get EVERY file that it installed. Usually they make a change to the reg or hide a file somewhere that keys in whether you've had it before. However, they may not care if you simply have to delete your saved game, because you're still only playing the same bit over and over, and there's still a reason for you to buy more. Worth trying, at least.

After playing for a few minutes and beating the quest mode, I've come to the conclusion that 35 hours is more than enough time for me to play the game.

Fun, but gets kind of repetitive.

I wish I could play the whole game with the Reflex power on though.  That would be fun.

I beleave the full version (which is only $20) add a multiplayer feature.  Where you can participate in touraments and such.  Alos it's only 35 hours from the time you install it, dosen't matter if you play or not

Actually it locked me out of every mode but Quest after the first time I played them.  That was kind of disappointing.
