Yes it is in the download section for now, but I would like to find out if I can legally host this download. Just don't know who to contact? I know a lot of the russian titles are hard to validate whether your pirating it or not when you can no longer buy it and publisher/developer are no longer in existence. So any help is welcomed in this search for the truth.

I can tell you that the german version is definitely fully translated. If you just want to play the game (in English) and don't care about the videos, you could always try the ripped version I uploaded a few days ago (Parkan_S in the download area).

Does the German version have any English in it.Tried copying it the hard drive again but it still won't copy one of the files over, Window say it will take 14 minutes to copy but an hour later it sill has not copied it.Guess I will have to wait till I get the old 98 computer out of storage.

PINBACK, definitely it's copy-protection issue. You have to make an 1:1 cd image. But I have German version now, and I will try it to instal under VM or real XP.So, I've installed it under XP...and it works!!! sadly, in German version I can't see an intro which is in Russian version. Only a short intro message....

Hello. I'm from Russia and this is one of my favorite games. Most of our fan sites and forums are dead and gamefaqs even don't know about this game. What a pity... Is anyone still working on translation? Is it finished? If not, I want to create full english version (with videos, original music tracks and such) or help with translation. As you see, I can speak english a bit. Here is the deal:Russian version is full.German version is full.Exe of english beta version can't play nav files.So, it will be easier to translate russian version than to make english beta version open nav files.And don't tell me about download section. It's not working normally for regular (non-Gold) members. I request a mirror link if translation is complete

You are all in luck, as I am currently playing the English Beta with working videos under Windows 7 - and the solution is so simple I could slap myself for not having tried it earlier. The short version is: Parkan.exe can't detect the english .iso (I'm guessing it's missing subchannel data or somehing) but CAN detect the german one. So here is what you have to do to:1. Mount the English .iso and copy all the files to a folder of your choice.2. Mount the german .ccd image.3. Create a textfile in the folder you copied the english files to.4. Write the path to the german CD-image in the textfile (in my case I wrote 'G:' [without the quotation marks, of course]).5. Rename said textfile to 'Cd_rom.cfg'6. Set Compatibility of Parkan.exe to Win95 and run it.Enjoy!Ad JAM: I, too, have difficulties with the downloads on this site. DarkOne was nice enough, however, to put up a direct-dl section with some of the most frequently requested files (Parkan being among those). You can find it under [url]http://spacesimcentral.com/directdl[/url] After messing around a bit more (after all, while this solution does give you all the transition videos, you are still missing out on the intro videos beyond the first one), I found an even simpler solution: Just convert the English .bin to .ccd, .img and .cue and mount those and you will be able to play with all the videos and subsequently find out why the English version is called a "Beta" - all the voices in the intro are untranslated <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//yes.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':yes:' />. I assume the same is true for the ending but I haven't tried that yet.So there you have it: Play Parkan in all its original goodness or enjoy the time-saving ripped version, it's all possible now!

D-d-d-double post time!After having some problems with the german version images (data track playing over the intro) I noticed that it worked fine with my original cd. So I re-ripped the cd and now it works just fine.Since not everybody has CloneCD at home, I thought I could put both the english and the german version + mount and cfg instructions into zip files, upload them somwehere and pm the links to DarkOne, so that there'l finally be working non-russian versions available on the web for everyone. So how about it - anybody interested?

Nice <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//biggrin.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' /> Will have to check this out when I get some free time and see if I can finally get the game up and running.

Thanks for that faq, Lenchik. Forcing 256 colors and 600x480 resolution finally made the gameplay-video transitions seamless! I updated my packages accordingly and finally got around to upload them and PM the links to DarkOne. So hopefully, you'll all have an easy way to play these games soon. Pinback, since you have the original disc, you can simply copy the files from the disc to a folder of your choice and, after pointing cd_rom.cfg to your physical disc drive, run it with the disc in your drive. Just make sure you don't try to copy Pinst.exe, Parkan.dat and Cntrl.nav, as these are bloated files (copy protection) and not necessary to run the game.

My god it seems to be working :O I got past the intro and into the game although it's all in german. Did what you suggested Fadrad and left out the three files you mentioned also could not get it to work from the desktop icon as Lenchik suggested but it worked from inside the folder. also I found that I had to leave the file extension on the CD Rom file as CFG and not change it to Txt as suggested.

Dear Parkan fans, It has been a long time where I was busy in a non-space, real world. I'm very sorry for all of you waiting for the... ... WALKTHROUGH... ...of Parkan, The Empire Chronicles. The good news is: I have worked hard and it's now finished, ready to be submitted. Also the program files together with the in-game videos. Yes, all the game in English. The only question is: where and how do I publish all this stuff ??????? I will take a look in the download / upload section here. If I succeed, then you will shortly be able to play the *****>>> VERY BEST SPACE SIM OF ALL TIMES <<<**** :santablack: otherwise.... I'll have a problem to solve and need your help. More news to come soon. Stay tuned and look at the Download section ! Cheers,XenonS
