Title: How many are going to buy the AH CD?

Pretty sure I'll be getting this... even if I see it as more of a collector's item.

Anyone else?

My 8yr old nephew comes over every now and then and asks his uncle Revv if he can play "that flying game" well he's ok once he is in the air but crashes on landing so I jokingly told him I was taking his pilots license off him for crashing too many planes. One of his christmas gifts was a certificate I had made up for him renewing his virtual pilots liscense and a copy of Aces High burnt onto a CD rom with a nice little label and cover with a printed manual. His parents had already bought him CFS2 but he now spends all his time in Aces High playing offline till he gets good enough to come and shoot me down..should'nt take him long actually :)

I'll probably buy a copy like AKDejaVu says as a bit of a collectors thing, may even buy my nephew a copy as a bribe so he won't shoot me down :D

Post by: K West on January 17, 2002, 07:33:52 PM: I wonder if they are serialised (looking for low digit CD here!) and if they'll all sign it :)

I'm ordering two for the same way I've always order at least one cd for a game - even if the game was a free online download. Ex/AW-II, WB 2.X, Motor City Online and a bunch of others. Mostly for posterity but it certainly does come in handy when someone is interested to pass the CD on verus giving them a dowload link.

I wonder what the cover looks like (if it has one) Maybe HTC can scan it and let us see it.
