I always prefer to get a box over downloads as my so called broadband is terrible,I can have trouble downloading 10mb never mind any thing in 1gb range.Guess I will just have to wait and see if any thing comes up on ebay.

Looks like Cold Stars may never get a translation because the website is no more and quasar studios website is also down the creators of Tarr Chronicles and Dark Horizon.

Damn shame about that.

That's awful news, I really enjoyed the Tarr Chronicles and Dark Horizon games. What a shame

I see their site is back up but nothing about this amazing looking title. Anyone know anything new?

Only that the game was released in Russia.

I'll have to add Russian to the list of languages I need to learn to play all the foreign games I compulsively buy :-/

 I'll have to add Russian to the list of languages I need to learn to play all the foreign games I compulsively buy :-/ Bringing back, this topic from Oblivion (TM), there is a patch for adding English Menus and subs to the game. You can find it here: [url]http://www.coldstars.ru/[/url]

You would think with all the interest in these games nowadays some one would have done a English translation patch and released it through one of the digital networks. Not much on YouTube about it only a couple of small game play videos.

I seem to recall seeing it on a Russian game site, IIRC it was the one where you could buy Precursors.

 I seem to recall seeing it on a Russian game site, IIRC it was the one where you could buy Precursors. Unfortunatelly their paying systems are incopatible with PayPal or even credit cards. Not to mention that they are not certain if the game can be activated, aoutside the Russian Federation. (Dark Side Mode On: I had acquired an "unofficial" cd image of the game :spiteful: , I haven't figured out, how to bypass the cd protection!!! :haha:Dark Side Mode off).

It's was Yuplay I was thinking off but it looks like it has shut down now.

 So finally got a copy of this. Couple of points for anyone thinking about buying it.1 Make sure it's new copy of the game if you going for the disk version as you only get two internet activation attempts.2 it has some sort of securom DRM on it, could be Starforce, used my old XP machine and glad I did. Good news is that CaptaintKal link above to the English patch worked so far although I have not played it much. The only problem so far is that I can't work out how to change the graphic setting as has to done before you start the game and I can only see ????? in the boxes.
