I'm sooo angry right now...

I'm in the process of moving right now.. (just graduated and got my Biology degree... yippee!) And my disc didn't survive the box. Something shifted and snapped the jewel case I'd put the game in for the move. Its terribly frustrating because now that I've graduated I was planning on getting into some fun PBW games. (In no way am I asking for an image/copy...)

I'm currently torn between ordering up another disc or waiting till SEV and save my budding relationship with my gf who's got definite potential to be 'the' one. I wonder if any of ya'll have had to make that decision in the past.

The one time I didn't Alcohol120% a game and it gets destroyed.

Oh well... just thought I'd rant a little.

Again. I am in NO way asking for a copy of the game. I support MM and Shrapnel completely.

Sad sad sad,
James

Very good to support MM, but I think you are the one and only person on this planet with an legal and good reason to download an copy of the game you bought it once, why buy it again...............

So...If anybody from shrapnel drops by and reads this thread, if he sends you the fragments, think you could send him a cd?

If your car were made of information rather than matter, I'd say yes.

This is why I recommend buying a back up copy of any game you like. You never know when it will not longer be available to buy. (BOTF for example)

Any ways, I would email shrapnel and see if you could work out something with them. Perhaps do as one of the other suggested.

As for love over game, no one loves being alone, even if they have this wonderful game to play.

Did you order it thru Shrapnel? (GamersFront.com?)
If so then you might try contacting customer support

Hmmm...see I never made backups of data on CD's. Back in the floppy days, sure, it was almost a necessity to make backups. But I always figured the CD would be indestructable (Boy, are those ever famous Last words -- I should get started on backups right now)

But just about every program I've had, I ordered the upgrade to in about a year, so I'd have tons of burnt CD's around. Add to that the many programs I paid for that never came on disk. I downloaded them and recieved the key to activate.

Maybe we should get into the habit of realizing we paid for the CD key, and not the pLastic disk. 'Cept that doesn't really apply to SE4.

yea play it off the hard drive

and back up that space empires directory onto a disc.

then back up another one.

you should be fine.

i have not used my disc since the Last upgrade.

[Atrocities]

I would still buy another copy of SEIV Gold just to be on the safe side. Hell we all should.

And if that information were in the public domain, I'd agree as well.
