Well done Giles. :)

As you and others have said, a pity about that PC Powerplay review lowering the average. What is needed is another high score from someone that Metacritic recognises. :) After all, it only has 8 critic reviews and there are a lot more than that who MC takes notice of.

The letter been answered, so hopefully soon you'll see the SG price being adjusted as well as the "combo" SG + GR REV on sale on Steam :wink:

Nice Giles! sounds like they may have actually removed you guys from that Spam filter :)

Would be nice to see some more love given to the ol' Giraffe. I could definitely see a bundle pushing some copies.

I think that is unfortunately a bit the fate of LS productions in general.

I think we could say "the can generate strong opposite sentiments" :)

So probably for each one loving them to bits there could be someone hating them to death.

The problem is "people don't understand about variance, only mean
at most" :wink:

When you have a thing 100 - 0 , then (100+0)/2 = 50 it defnitely is
not the same as (50+50)/2 = 50.

Is it worth 100 or is it worth 0 ? Certainly is not worth 50 :wink:

Awesome! I bought both games when they came out but for $15, I couldn't resist buying them again on Steam. It'll make my life a lot easier when I format and re-install my OS tomorrow. Thank you for getting them up there! I still can't see the Metacritic scores (or Llamasoft LTD on GR:R) but I'm happy to have them on STEAM.

I'm all for buying the 2 titles on Steam, but they're priced too high. They're selling a bundle on the developer site for $15 and here on Steam it's double that for both of them.
Equal that price guys and I'll buy it in a minute.
The price was corrected today, and I did, indeed, buy it.

The score and company details are there for GRR:

But no Metacritic score listed for SG:

I was about to write about this, PVB beaten me :)

Besides .. "I have no email about all this", so the thing went up but I really did not know .. until someone else told me
"hey look is up" .. " .. toh .. " .. :roll:

Anyway yes, is up, we'll make some annoucement/press release later I think.

Don't ask me "why a thing looks different" I can guarantee you that, in dollars, the price of SG and GR REV is exactly
the same, mysteries of conversion rates I suppose ( or some browser cookie or I dunno what ).

Ah before someone asks "SG PC" has NO metacritics score :? Because we miss reviews for it.

We did get some reviews but only one that made MC, SG 360 on the other side of course is on MC.

[edit] - apart some communication issues I really love the job done by the Steam guys, their website and all certainly
looks "stylish and professional" :)

Now if people have to complain for the price any more, I think "the combo is really good value for money" :wink:

That did puzzle me a bit "I won't buy them separately as they're too expensive, but will when they're priced together cheaper!"

They save (approx.) £2. :roll:

Well, in USD there's a $5 savings over buying them separately, or 25% of the combined price. And the bundle is fully half the price of buying them separately 2 days ago.

Still a bargain though, IMHO. :wink:

Let's see you appear on the high score tables now. 8)

Bloody brilliant. I knew I wanted this game since I found out it was being made. Huge fan of Space Giraffe. But the price was too steep for me to buy in my state of unemployedness. I was reading up on it a couple of days ago, discussed with a friend how people have been waiting for it to go up on Steam for forever, but nothing's happened...

The day after, I search for it on Steam just for kicks, and find it had been added earlier that day! For cheaper, too! I considered spending my last coin on the game, checked my bank statement and found I was suddenly rich. So I bought it. And by Flossie, it's amazing.

Later, I proceeded to accidently kick ass at the C64 game, went to brag about it, and noticed that the Vic-20 and C64 hiscore tables on the Llamasoft website seem to be swapped! Someone oughta take a peek at that, shouldn't be hard to fix. It's astounding how well a game from '82 holds up just by adding online leaderboards, though. I never thought I'd spend so much time playing the old versions.


Also, Giles, you'll be happy to know I read the entire readme when I first tried the demo, way back last year.

Nice to see this on there :) - should hopefully mean a few more sales.

They haven't put the forum link on the Gridrunner page though, and they don't have demos of either game...
