Hi everyone,
I went to www.cleopatra-thegame.com and clicked on "Videos" then on "to download the video of the game click here". It's been downloading for an hour and a half now! I thought this was just a short video showing some of the game. It doesn't mention a price or that this is for the full download of the actual game so I'm wondering why it's taking so long. Has anyone else downloaded this, and if you have, exactly what does this download show and do you remember how long it took? FYI - I only have dial-up not broadband(yet! )

Thanks!

It will probably take a while using dial-up. I used to have it and just last fall got DSL. I had w/dial-up downloaded a few videos but finally gave up as took sooooooo long! I have not played this game but (oddly enough!!) did download it yesterday (almost 6hrs via dsl!)..i haven't installed and played it yet (the download also got interruped by power going out from storm) and hope the download is ok. and hope i enjoy it! If you are on dial-up and your connection holds just be patient. Hope you enjoy the video.

gamenut: Hi, and thanks for replying. I figured it would take a
while with dial-up but since it's only a video and not the whole game, didn't think it would take this long!

Did you download the Cleopatra video? If so, how long did it take? If you didn't, how long did other videos of games take to download? We're going to be getting DSL sometime this year but don't know when... Thank you!

Hey 'kid...no, did not download the video..just visited the website. It would take hours before on dial up for lots of game videos or demos..it was so long i finally quit trying to do them. I am soo glad you will be at least getting DSL later. I have the dsl and find it a LOT better than dial-up..and now i think i will go ahead later next year and get the high-speed broadband thru the tv cable company. (have to wait until 2yr contract w/phone co expires in 2009 fall)

Turquoise Kid, when you are in that site and press the English flag and then Videos and then Click here, you should get 360 degrees panning for the 3 videos and see the Introduction Cut scene.

The first link, the trailer, is not ready yet.

Hope this helps.

Chief

gamenut, I finally just cancelled the video download after 2 hours! I think I'll look into the high-speed broadband. Thanks for all the info and ideas. TK

Chief: update - I went back to the Cleopatra game site and watched the cutscenes that you suggested. It was great - the graphics were beautiful! Thanks again for suggesting it.
