SHOW'S OVER, THANKS FOR PLAYING! HAPPY 2014!

I had a spare copy of The Precursors sitting around from the last time it was on sale on GamersGate, for just such an occasion. I'm going to be out for most of today. When I come back, one of the people posting in this topic will be the proud owner of this wonderfully weird Deep Shadows production. Unfortunately, it's got some drm and patching to contend with before you can start playing. That wouldn't be an issue at all if this was on GOG, but sadly it's not. And it probably never will be, but you can go vote for it anyway.

Happy birthday, hope it's a good one. Not in however, just wanted to wish a happy birthday.

The game looks brilliant, might I inquire as to what DRM it uses?

edit: Nevermind, I just looked it up. Unless I'm mistaken looks to be Starforce.

Ah, it is brilliant. Very rough around the edges, though, and precious little variety in character models. Also surprisingly short. But you get to explore strange worlds and cruise the galaxy in your own ship with a holographic AI while high on mushrooms and completely inebriated, and there's some nice humor, combat, and environments. Far from a perfect game, but I really loved the hell out of it.

As for the DRM, it's Starforce. I think it was supposed to have three activations, but I heard somebody I once gifted it to complain that they started with zero activations and weren't able to get it to run. Me personally, I don't believe there's anything wrong with circumventing DRM, and it's done rather easily here. I don't know or care about what Starforce does in the background, but I can tell you I got The Precursors up and running just fine on a machine with no internet access.

Happy birthday Skunk!
Thank you for the giveaway too: that seems to be a pretty enjoyable game, I didn't know it. Not in, though.

Happy birthday, Skunk, and thank you for the giveaway! +1

Not in. The only reason why I've kept my eye on Precursors is because it's one of the games for which Wesp5 still releases unofficial patches. I'll play it eventually, but not while it has DRM!

Happy Birthday.

Would love to give it a try but my backlog is so huge, I'll gladly let someone else have it and grab it myself later (preferably on GOG). So, not in.
