Default WHERE can I find a copy of PT Boats?

Since it has been out for a year now ( ? ) I've never seen it anywhere to be sold.

Bugs or no bugs I'd like to have an English copy.

Google doesn't seem to help for sales.

Anyone know?

Here you go -

CD or Download, it's a bit pricey though, in my opinion.

Yeah your right it is a little bit pricey and I want a Disc not "Digital Air."
For the disc they wanted an extra $10.00 for S&H U.S Mail which totals $55.00 US.

I could live with the higher price but they said they would immediately take your money from the CC company even if game was not in stock, also I could not find out if PT Boats was or was not in stock.

Guess I'll wait awhile longer or maybe someone else whom does business better than that.

Thanks a lot for the info though.

Delivery was very fast for me. I had my copy within 5 days of ordering.

DVD version also comes with a nice units booklet, describing the game's naval and air units.

Game is highly moddable if you are into that. All files are open.

TT

Glad you found the order page. PT Boats is not an EVIL-BAD game, it's so-so, but for $50 it is over priced, imo. If the game had a scenario generator, and a few bug fixes, it would be pretty neat, actually.

Looking forward to hearing your take on it, EP.

Will give you an update of how I feel about the game Neal. Yes it is a little pricey but I can play it offline. Now if another certain Sim we know of will allow offline then I will be happy.

Just got PT Boats today Neal in the mail. ( requested the disc with two manuals )

Scared me when I had to activate the license key online. But that was just for about two seconds and I turned off the Internet again. I can't stand playing on the net especially when you need to remove mostly all your running background ( especially antivirus ) in order for the game to run well, also your computer runs a lot cooler.

Anyway I can see a big learning curve in this game as it is hard to get all the control keys down pat. So far I'm getting my butt kicked and I'm just starting out in tutorial #1.

I can now play the game offline and never use the disc, now that's cool.


P.S. I noticed in your video of SHV that you unscrewed the cable from the modem---Why? There is a rocker switch on the modem no? Other than that there is an icon ( looks like two monitors side by side ) that goes on the taskbar that is clickable for on and off the internet. Lot easier than unscrewing a cable connector.
