Over the past month or so I’d read quite a few good reviews of Strategic Command: European Theater. This is an old school computer wargame, complete with hex map and counters for graphics. Since I have a bit of time on my hands this week, I downloaded a demo of the game and played for about an hour.
That was more than enough to know I wanted to give the full version a try, and at only $25 the game was a bargain.
Except that rather than offer the program for download (and from what I’ve read, its only in the 30-40 meg range), the only way to get the game is to have it physically shipped with an additional $7 charge for shipping and handling. So I’d have to pay 28 percent of the cost of the game just to have it shipped, and then I get the added enjoyment of waiting for it to arrive. Yeah, that’s so much more convenient than just hitting my credit card for $25 and offering me a link to download the game.
I’ll find something else to play.
When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked
on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each
time a comment is added I receive four emails with
the exact same comment. There has to be a way you can remove me from that service?
Thank you!
Actually, I don’t manage those…those are done through WordPress.Com.
However, at the bottom of any email you receive related to this site, there should be a “Manage Subscriptions” Link…if you click on that, you will be taken to a page where you can unsubscribe.
