Fledgling Fyora norskimo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hey all, Does anyone have a copy of registered Galactic Core? I lost my original copy about 5 computers ago (and about a decade and a half ago), and would love to play through it again. I know it wasn't very popular, but the nostalgia factor is really high for me. I've searched all over online and could only find the trial version. Thanks for the help!

Unflappable Drayk ĐªгŦĦ Єяŋϊε Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Try looking on abandonware sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 This sounds like the sort of thing to email Spiderweb directly about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 he got his wish fullfilled via abandonware. does SW even have copies (registrations) of all of its games? GC isn't listed anywhere unlike Avernum 1 and 2 are (almost as old games as GC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I don't know. Spiderweb has all of the Jeff Vogel games, of course, but it also published Richard White's games, and it may well have done nothing but distribute codes. If they were able to produce codes they could always register their own, but for all I know Jeff doesn't even have any of the games and would have to scrounge around the internet for demos to register. —Alorael, who is quite sure Jeff has no interest in selling GC or the other Richard White Games games anymore. They were never exactly popular, and most of the money was supposed to go to someone who may not actually be reachable anymore. And they're distinctly different and pretty universally seen as worse compared to Jeff's games, so he may not want that stuff diluting the Spiderweb brand.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You know what would be cool? Spiderweb should act as publisher for a new edition of Realmz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora norskimo Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Earth Empires sent me a link to one. Thanks again! There's plenty of demos out there for the third-party stuff, but I couldn't find a registered copy. @Kelandon and Alorael: I didn't want to bother Jeff or anyone else at Spiderweb with something so trivial, so thought I'd try the forums. Galactic Core is TERRIBLE compared to Jeff's awesome games, but it was something I played with my older brother growing up and so had enough nostalgic appeal to try hunt down.

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 GC ain't just SW game: "Spiderweb Software and Chromite Software, the makers of Lost Souls and Ocean Bound, announce the upcoming release of Galactic Core, a game of exploration, strategy and carnage in the depths of space." http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/Spiderweb_Software_Announce_New_Space_Strategy_Game_For_The_Mac No idea what happened to Chromite Software. On old old forums Zeviz said that some1 had bought GC from SW but ~7.5 years old post so ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Galactic Core was *published* by Spiderweb, meaning they sold it on their web site, handled the transactions, advertised it, etc., presumably in exchange for a fee. It was not *created* by Spiderweb, though, hence it being a "third-party" game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd epower Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 You know what would be cool? Spiderweb should act as publisher for a new edition of Realmz. Now that is a very interesting idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
