Alpha Polaris is on a disc also for $10.00 but the only way to get it is you have to order the download also for $9.95 from what I understand.

Here is the news from the developer today: Hi all! The english version of Alpha Polaris is currently only available as a digital download from the Turmoil Games website. We have just lowered the price for the game and you can get it for only 9.95 USD. This is a bit unrelated, but below is an unpublished cover art from Alpha Polaris I thought you might find interesting.  Click here to see a larger version. Cheers! Veera edit: I forgot to answer the question about the german edition of Alpha Polaris sold on Amazon.de - it only has a german language pack so please wait for the english language box version or buy the digital download.

They sure don't make it easy to get the game. Note I blame electronic merchant company not the programmers. I waited over half an hour for credit card to process then gave up. Got an email saying bank declined payment. I reordered using PayPal. Which should have worked instantly. But then I get an email saying they have to verify payment, which is nonsense. PayPal did that.

Hi all! Thanks for posting this information Carla! I already fixed my initial post on the subject, but I will mention it here also: I found out that you can also get the english digital download at Strategy First. For an additional fee you can get a backup cd (no retail packaging). GuybrushThreepwood I will forward your experience with the webstore to Turmoil Games and see if there is something we can do to make it better! - Veera

Hi all - I have a different issue with BMT I placed the order on-line Thursday evening - waited about 5 hours for them to get back to me. They sent me an email with my order confirmation today, 9/23. When I got home from work, I tried to download the software per their links. I got a page saying the Password Is Blocked !! In their email - I was advised I have until October 23rd to download the software !! Are they looking at the correct calendar ??? !!! Oh - their 800 # loops you around a bit but HEY it's Friday about 7:30 pm - I am not going to get anywhere til Monday anyway!!!! My first and last experience with these folks !!

Well - I finally got this game to download. I don't know if BMT unlocked me or I just had to wait for a "reset" since I didn't hear from them.
Anyway - I am anxious to get started - it does look and sound intriguing.
