I got VVVVVV and it works just fine! It does sound rather dodgy though, but hey.

In reply to Jake.

Try this to get The Void working: http://forum.ice-pick.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9594&p=102371#p102371, and then launch it from the game.exe in it’s bin/win32 directory

Spent ages yesterday trying to get a game and didn’t manage it, now I’m a bit annoyed it’s over already.

In reply to RHippy.

Maybe it is specifically The Void, I can’t get it working either – downloaded twice but it won’t launch at all from Capsule and launching it from it’s directory just gives a black screen.

But has anyone actually got the game working? I’ve downloaded the Void a couple of times and it keeps imploding on launch.

In reply to MacQ. They are very good at making the default setting "Add me to your mailing list"

This must be that new way of acquiring customers (in other words accounts).

In reply to zlew. Yeah, shame. Some of those games looked interesting. Guess I'll have to wait until whatever the next promo is.

In reply to Mac. Hi, it's not the launching of greenmangaming. It was here 3-4 weeks ago,i bought necrovision at 0.01£ and the speed of downloading was amazing (max of my connection) with this offer a lot of people rush the site.

In reply to Johnny Go-Time.

Yup, after trying for over 3 hours to get anything through checkout I gave in and went to sleep … only to wake up with the code not working. This is a really strange way to launch a service … servers without enough bandwidth, case sensitive login which automatically puts your username into lower case as you log in, etc …

Given this experience I doubt very much that I will use them in the future – great marketing campaign …. fail at the first hurdle.

Coupon is expired. Darn I wish I would have realized that before giving them my registration info.

Thanks for this, I went for Grand Ages Rome. Does anyone who got this know where the serial is for creating a multiplayer account?

Thanks again

Two messages saying the voucher has expired. Has it really expired?

I braved the Time-Outs Of Doom and ordered Elven Legacy. Put the voucher in, cost reduced to 0, all was well. But when I completed the checkout I got an error message saying there was something wrong with the order and that they hadn’t taken any money. So I tried again, but it claimed the voucher had expired. Bah.

I just tried it and got a “The voucher you entered has expired” message. Must be over, or broken.

Hmm – after fighting with the site for quite a while I managed to order VVVVVV. The confirmation email says I paid 8.99 but I’m pretty sure it hasn’t actually charged me.

The website is not coping with the load – if you click the add voucher button more than once because it doesn’t seem to be doing anything then the total will show as an amount to be changed to you. It was so slow the first time I tried that the total showed as 104 pounds !
That purchase crapped out so the next time I tried I waited for the add voucher button to do something and then the purchase worked.

I just ordered a game and used the voucher code. The amount due was £0 and it’s available for download in my account, but in the confirmation e-mail they sent afterward says “Total due:£5.99”. Is that supposed to happen? I don’t want to get caught out by anything when I download the game.

Great offer on their part if it is all legitimate.

In reply to Mario Figueiredo. I'm keeping an eye on it for exactly those reasons.

Lewis,

If they are paying for every game we purchase, and VVVVVV author wasn’t informed of this, what exactly are we downloading when we purchase VVVVVV?

This is starting to look a bit weird. These deals are always made by talking with the publishers/developers first. If for nothing else, because usually the store can even arrange a discount with the publisher/developer to soften the store initial loses.

This does not bode well.
