Dissapointed with Hyperion - Quake II

[Corrie]

Hi All,

I recently bought Freespace and Quake II from a
local Amiga dealer. I was dissapointed to see that
Quake II came in a clear CD cover without any system
requirements printed on a professional looking cover
like Freespace has.

I was further dissapointed to find that the PC version
infact was missing and I only had a PC userguide cd.
The Amiga Quake II cd that I got is copied on a blue coloured
cd and the cd cover looks like it is pirated. I was expecting
a silver cd and a clear professional cd cover print.

So at the end of it, I am still unable to install Quake II due
to the missing PC version and I am a little dissapointed
in the presentation of the Quake II packaging. Does anyone
else find this with Quake II?

I am happy to support Hyperion as they should be commended
for supporting the Amiga platform however when I pay 5 times
the amount for Amiga Quake II than for the PC version nowdays,
I would have expected a more professional presentation, more the same
as they have done with Freespace.

Any thoughts?

I have received a reply from Hyperion, they have
explained that Freespace is a commercial licence
and Quake II is not, therefore the reason for the
packaging.

On the missing Quake II cd, Hyperion have offered
to send a copy.

Overall I am still dissapointed in the packaging
however it has been exaplined to me why it is so.

Overall I am happy with Hyperion, Freespace runs
100% on my 060/CybervisionPPC. Quake II I am yet
to install when i get my PC cd, but I must commend
Hyperion on their support.

Atleast they have explained themselves well to me.

I think some people have taken this a little
too far. I have emailed both the local store
and Hyperion about the missing cd, that is no
major drama, however I am sorry if people have
misunderstood me.

I am still of the opinion that some nicer packaging
would have been great for Quake II. It has been
explained to me the legal reasons why and I thank
Hyperion for their reply.

However my own personal opinion is that the
packaging would have looked better as the way
they have done Freespace. I am sorry and apologise
to any reader if they believe that my posting was
to openly discredit Hyperion, because it certainly
was not.

I am expressing my own personal feeling on the matter.

I have contacted the store from where I purchased
QuakeII, all that has been done. I still feel as a
consumer I have the right to express a personal feeling
regarding an amiga matter on here, right?

I did not invisage that a post about my own
experience would eventuate into an attack on Hyperion.

IT WAS NOT POSTED FOR THAT PURPOSE!
