Man... X-Wing and those logos on the manual pages... those were the days.

I have to say, that was one pretty damn effective anti-piracy protection. If you lost that manual (or didn't get one because you didn't have a legit copy) you were completely screwed because you had to enter a password (or in the case of Atlantis, arrange the Sun; Moon; and Earth discs on the dais) every time you wanted to play the game, and every time you got the sequence wrong it chose a new random code you had to enter. I managed to get in on X-Wing a few times just spamming random Star Wars planet names after I lost the manual, but that was really rare. I own the game on PC now, and unfortunately unlike the original version it doesn't have mouse support. Boo!

There are several games like that I own legitimately but lost the manual to them.

Though in the Age of Internets, someone has most likely placed these manual codes online somewhere so it would never work nowadays.

I like how the architecture in Eternal Darkness was Indiana Jones-ish. This game will do fine, especially being a 60fps version of what Factor 5 is incapable of accomplishing; character gameplay.

I was browsing through my weekly GameStop Email newsletter when I saw something that almost made me spit out the drink I was enjoying at the time: In big letters at the bottom of one of the pages they were advertising the Wii version of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, and right there was an add for the Gamestop Exclusive Code for Fate of Atlantis. What. the. Hell?! Since when did we have bonus features on Wii games that required you to pre-order at GameStop? It's bad enough having bonus powers in Infamous, Unlockable Suits in Ghostbusters, and various challenge maps and whatnot in Arkham Asylum only available through GameStop pre-order codes...but now an entire unlockable game is only available through GS? What gives?!

It may be that Fate of Atlantis needs to be unlocked through gameplay and the code only gets you it for nothing.

That was the same deal with Guitar Hero World Tour and KFC. You got a code to unlock all the songs at once versus playing to unlock them. Plus the code will be online real fast as well.

Well, I hope that's indeed the case. It's ridiculous enough putting up with this nonsense on the other two systems without having it infect the Wii as well.

I preordered the game just to play Atlantis, I have almost no interest in the Wii game lol.

Ditto. Frankly, I pretty much expect the Wii game to be crap from start to finish anyway, just because I don't think Lucasarts has created a passable game on its own in a very long time. I just want Fate of Atlantis.

Just luring you into a false sense of security while I ready my next anti - Nintendo everything rant for the next time they do something stupid.

Seriously, that's really the only issue we ever argue about.

Stratos · « **Reply #41 on:** May 24, 2009, 02:55:57 PM »

I'm thinking of writing a buddy cop flick starring Broodwars and Golden_Phoenix.

Two seemingly irreconcilable Nintendo fans have to unite to save the world from losing the greatest game company on earth. Action! Suspense! Drama! Pikmin! It's all there and more! Coming Summer 1010 to a youTube channel near you!

I don't know why you guys are hating on the main game so much. It looks really cool.

It's partly because 3rd party support on Wii has been pitiful in the quality department outside a few companies (Sega, Capcom, EA), and partly because I have no reason whatsoever to expect quality out of Lucasarts anymore. The last good title that they had any association with was the Rogue Squadron series, and Factor 5 made those.

Besides, the game's going to look really poor in comparison to Fate of Atlantis, a game made in Lucasarts' heyday before Star Wars just completely took over.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #43 on:** May 24, 2009, 06:37:43 PM »

Well if I recall hasn't this game been in development hell for quite awhile? That is usually not a good sign. Also while I enjoyed Force Unleashed it had some pretty big flaws and LUcasarts has not had a great track record as of late.

Stratos · « **Reply #44 on:** May 24, 2009, 07:10:59 PM »

Force Unleashed was developed by Chrome Studios, not LucasArts.
Also, the game was merely honed into a Wii SKU versus having HD versions.

But more importantly, are my eyes deceiving me or am I defending a 3rd party game from early dismissal/judgment from none other than THE Golden_Phoenix? The defender of 3rd party Wii games? The bearer of the banner of 3rd party Wii endeavors? What happened? How topsy-turvy

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #45 on:** May 24, 2009, 07:13:02 PM »

Stratos I'm talking about ALL versions of Force Unleashed, not just the Wii one.

Alright, I'll grant that. I thought you were talking about the Wii version alone. But I still find it humorous I am defending a 3rd party Wii game from you of all people.

Hey I defend GOOD Wii games!

Hey, you don't know if this will be a good Wii game or not yet. It looks promising, it looks pretty, it has awesome bonus material that I believe shows that the devs care about the product and it is only one Wii. No Wii/PS2 porting crap to deal with and no PS3/360/Wii with a token Wii version.

If you are going to knock this, knock Overlord, Conduit, Madworld, de Blob, House of the Dead Overkill, Deadly Creatures, Cursed Mountain or Winter.

I'm still surprised your taking this stance with Indy considering the other games you have supported. For Shame $:-\$

Overworld is being put together by a proven team (the first game was fantastic). Madworld I've played and it is quite good,s ame with HOTDO and Deadly Creatures. deBlob never played but I've heard mixed things about it. Conduit we'll see, I hope it turns out well. And Cursed Mountain, I'm interested in but I worry about it. The fact is that Lucasarts does not have a good track record as of late so it is hard to remain optimistic about their game which has been stuck in some weird development cycle.
