Used to have Spartan and GoT on Mac... now I have a PC

[Cavanoskus]

Hey, all. I was just wondering, several years ago I purchased both Spartan and Gates of Troy for Macintosh. I did so through direct download from a Mac games website, not sure now what it was, but I can hunt down my old emails from them. Now that Macintosh computer is dead and no longer usable, I've been migrating everything to a new PC. It seems most of my games, surprise surprise, have dual compatibility... either a Mac and PC version on the same install disc, or both download options available from a single purchase, etc. My question is, if I can supply my old purchase information for Spartan and Gates of Troy, is there a way I can receive a discount of some sort on the PC versions of the games, especially in light of the fact that the Macintosh versions are no longer available? I understand this may not be possible due to business-related factors but I thought it could not hurt to ask.

I'll be buying them soon either way, this just determines how many paychecks I may have to wait. I've been craving GoT for over 4 years since my Mac died. I really got a lot out of those games.

Unfortunately the Mac versions were not really anythign to do with us and we only developed & sold the PC version so have no info on who bought the Mac versions so no way to look orders up. We're making sure we sell everything direct from now on and if we do a Mac version its direct from our site to avoid any issues like this going forwards. Sorry we can't help

Okay, I understand. Thanks for the quick answer! (From the man himself nonetheless.) I'll be purchasing both again ASAP. Would I experience any difficulties if I were to buy GoT and then install Spartan later to get the scenarios?

[IainMcNeil]

No it should all be fine and if not just let us know and we'll sort it out!

[Cavanoskus]

Okay. Thanks!

I still have Spartan on my Mac, and the game was marketed by Virtual Programming Ltd. I forgot where I bought it online from, but I probably could fine the old emails if I looked hard enough. It had a protection system that only allowed a small number of installations (hmmm, maybe I still have the Mac installer), but they were fairly open about giving me additional installs when I changed computers.

EDIT: Checked and yes I still have the installer including the 80-page manual.
