The manual and keyboard sheet have gone to press. If you previously ordered the game before the decision was made to make print manuals available, you can order it using this link. You can see a preview of the front/back/inside cover of the manual over here. quote: Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: The layout of the printed manual and keyboard sheet are done and off to print next week. They should be available for purchase around the end of this month for those who want them. The orders page should be going up shortly. The format and size is the same as in UC. The price is $9.99 + $6 shipping and handling anywhere in the world. This package contains both the manual and keyboard sheet for this price. There were a LOT of changes to the original UC print manual and which were detailed in the manual revisions PDF file included in the patches. These, including all revisions which are unique to UCAWA, are in the new manual and keyboard sheet.

If you have shipping questions, please do NOT post them here. BMT Micro has a customer service phone number and email. Use either one.

Spotted over here quote: The public exchange of blows goes on between JoWooD and their Austrilian ex-development partner Perception. Now that Perception's CEO Ben Menzo had stated his take on the termination of the contract earlier today, JoWooD's CEO Seidl responded. Perception's statements are "insubstantial and wrong", Seidl states. The game happens to be in an extremely bad condition, which also was confirmed by an analysis/expertise made by one of the leading publishers (worldwide). The analysis of the PS2 and Xbox version concludes: "Neither version is playable in any kind." JoWooD had the contractual right to terminate the agreement if the product has severe flaws and if the developer was notified of the serious violation of the contract in written form. This notification had already been sent on 06/13/2005. The contract was terminated on 08/05/2005 as Perception had not made any signifcant progress in the meantime. Also, all financial duties were fulfilled by JoWooD whereas Perception violated the development contract on their side of things due to the product having technical flaws and not meeting the original schedule. The stocks/shares of the game publisher took a hit as Perception's Ben Menzo noted that they intend to take legal action against JW CEO Albert Seidl and Andreas Ruda (chairman of the board), who has been angered by JoWooD's "financially damaging" statements. [...]

I didn't go into this movie expecting anything and was pleasantly surprised. The suspense was top notch. The ending will shock the living piss out of you. Unless of course you're not easily shocked. If the end of The Others or The Sixth Sense left you shocked, then add this to the list. 10/10

Yet another memorable John Singleton movie. Really well done; if a tad formulaic. I had a great time and there was nothing over the top. 10/10

Unfortunately, only one key is tied to a single product. So, there won't be any additional keys to a single product.

UCAWA is the sequel to UC and thus shares most of its kernel. So, if you encounter a technical problem, be sure to read the UC tech support forum FIRST before posting in here. EDIT: If you create ANY tech support post that doesn't have any relevant information, nor steps which can be used to reproduce the issue, the post WILL be deleted.

Post your thoughts here. And please, no fanboy stuff. Keep it real. Keep it focused. Say what you like, don't like etc etc otherwise. Do NOT post tech support issues in here please. [ 08-16-2005, 09:05 AM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Wait. You already HAVE a copy of UCAWA already? If not, what key are you talking about? Anyway, because of how the copy protection works, you need two copies of the game. Or you can install both the client and server on the same machine.

Scary. If this was Microsoft, the world would be all over it.

Yeah, I read that this morning. Now WHY does all this sound SO familiar? quote: Sydney, Australia, 12th of August, 2005; Perception Pty Ltd would like to rectify certain statements that have been made to the press by JoWooD Productions. To be clear, Perception is the official licensee of MGM on Stargate SG-1: The Alliance. Any suggestion that JoWooD has rights to Stargate SG-1: The Alliance upon termination of the contract is incorrect and not based on commercial or legal fact. Development on the game will continue uninterrupted at PerceptionÔÇÖs Sydney studio. Perception is committed to giving fans the best gaming experience possible. Ben Lenzo, CEO of Perception said, ÔÇ£We view it as unfortunate that JoWooD would elect to make such misleading and libelous comments to the media and the marketplace. Over the last 9 months, JoWooD has openly acknowledged being in breach of contract in a number of areas including many legal and confidentiality breaches as well as several financial defaults for work performed by Perception and accepted by JoWooD.ÔÇØ Perception has tried to work with JoWooD to resolve these issues for months but to no avail. This resulted in several breach notices being served on JoWooD, giving them ample time to remedy. As these newest issues had not been resolved by the August 5th 2005, Perception gave notice that all outstanding issues would need to be resolved by Monday August 8th 2005, or Perception would terminate its contract with JoWooD. ÔÇ£ItÔÇÖs disappointing to hear of this so called termination via the press on the basis of a ÔÇ£get in firstÔÇØ tactic. This further suggests that JoWooD do not understand the terms of the contract. We are not surprised by their behavior or lack of appreciation for the goodwill Perception has afforded JoWooD on many occasions,ÔÇØ said Lenzo Perception has begun personal prosecution proceedings against both the CEO, Albert Seidl and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of JoWooD, Andreas Rudas, for the libelous comments made in their press release and will use all legal remedies available to it for the substantial monies owed to it by JoWooD. ÔÇ£Perception will not allow its name to be tarnished in such a manner and view such matters extremely seriously and will always protect the reputation of our staff, our products, licensing partners and the company.ÔÇØ Perception will not discuss any further the outstanding issues with JoWooD in public as legal action is underway. We look forward to the release of Stargate SG-1: The Alliance.

interesting article on the PSP

Thats why I keep my money in a shoebox buried under a tree out back.

quote: Hello. I'm afraid I'm not a fan of the franchise, I just googled for the biggest Stargate fansite on the web. I'm a cost-analyst that works for JoWood; my job consists of working out how much a project will cost, then grovelling to management to try to get a large enough budget. First, let me bring you up to speed on JoWood. Anyone who's bought one of our games knows we make woefully inferior, poorly funded crap; with little to no support after the game comes out. The management are totally clueless, as in completely out to lunch. JoWood has fallen on hard times and are always on the lookout on ways to reduce costs (of course the idea of actually improving our games never occurred to them). Why am I slagging them off? Well I've just got a job offer from a much better company so to hell with them. Do you know why SG:Alliance was really cancelled? It's because some poor simpleton signed a contract stating that should the project not meet our standards, we reserve the right to renege on the whole deal. What's more, they'd have to reimburse us for all the money we invested and release all the assets associated with the project (i.e. the game). We planned to renege on the contract from the beginning. Don't you see, we have the developer make us the game for nothing. Once the game reached a certain point in development we'd say it wasn't up to spec and now not only do they have to hand over the game, but the developer has to pay us for all the money we spent on it.

Well this is an interesting read and which sums it up. ...also here from Jowood's investor report. [ 08-09-2005, 06:21 PM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Well, doh!

Its set for Oct. 3rd launch

Poetic justice?

Saw it this weekend and I liked it from first frame to last. It was action filled. Awesome special fx. Passable acting etc etc. Typical high adrenaline Summer popcorn movie. I'd see it again, first chance I get. 9/10

Anyone who has high expections for a film with these two leads in it, needs an enema. With a hot car exhaust pipe. It was fun. Silly. Stupid. Formulaic. Fun. 9/10
