Collection updates...
Well, might as well post an update.
New items are getting hard to find, but I did happen upon a couple of things.
First, the French version, which I have wanted since HellKeeper showed off his! Not sealed, but in excellent condition.
Then, a sealed UT2004 SE! The plastic looks a bit rough, but it's in mint condition and quite hard to find sealed. Very happy with this one!

I hope you noticed how wonderful the french box is, with no sign of the world "Unreal" anywhere.
Pretty confusing.

Re: Collection updates...
That is pretty cool.
(either that, or perhaps the word "Unreal" is at the top of the box, we didn't see every angle , or it's just a knockoff version)
It was a different time without Google translator... so they just translated what they could...Hellkeeper wrote:I hope you noticed how wonderful the french box is, with no sign of the world "Unreal" anywhere.

Indeed! This is why I wanted it so bad! Also, the French version has a tab that holds the cover closed, unlike all other country's editions which lack such a tab.Hellkeeper wrote:I hope you noticed how wonderful the french box is, with no sign of the world "Unreal" anywhere.

I thought that maybe "Unreal" didn't translate so well into French; many times the names of games simply don't work or are somehow offensive in other languages and thought maybe in French "Unreal" lacked context or something.

Re: Collection updates...
Not really, it isn't offensive and translates transparently to an exact equivalent, there's no evident reason. I'd like to know what the editor was thinking.

Sorry to bump, but...
Just in, Unreal from Japan! I have longed for this one for a while and now it's here! Good shape..a real treat.
I haven't opened the CD yet (my CD-ROM isn't connected) though...probably nothing remarkable.

Nani!?
Sugoi!
As an aside, did anyone notice that there's a Japanese server with 30/30 players (most of them fakes for sure)?
I tried to enter it, but got rejected, so probably they are only allowing Japanese IPs.

Re: Collection updates...
Is it the GUST one with that mapvote which allows multiple sessions ?
Never saw any other JPN servers.

!!!Yarmero!!! -- I remember this from old MHJ and HOF servers.
I live an hour away from Japan, I should really try to get my hands on the JP version of UT.
Japanese servers are pretty much the only servers I can get a good ping to.
There is the がち ごや server which runs a very unique setup. Not always stable but interesting.

They're empty right now, but it seems they fill up every once in a while, and this time I was able to enter (I guess back then it was really full, although it didn't list more than 2 real players...).papercoffee wrote: An Japanese server? Where? I mean what's the IP?

Re: Collection updates...
Hey Carbon, I would very much like to know what version is this UT2003:
And where can I get it?
As most know, I have a specific place in my heart for UT2003 and I've never seen any cover art for it other than the classic one, with Sapphire, Malcolm holding a flag and the alien with a rocket launcher. I've seen picture of this cover, featuring Cannonball holding the Bombing Run ball, but I've never seen it on the box itself. I need it.

Re: Collection updates...
In Germany was the cover with Cannonball pretty common. Later versions got the default cover with Sapphire.Hellkeeper wrote:Hey Carbon, I would very much like to know what version is this UT2003:
