I can't help it :'(, I worry about my Ship Simulator 2008 disc (CD) all the time... scratches scratches scratches... :'(
-
Pu it in a padded zipped case and store it in a safe place. ;)
-
Thank you :), as long as the SS08 disc works, I guess it's just fine :).
-
copy the cd and use that one, store the original in a safe place with your serial.

Also a good Idea. Or If you get the download you could store it on a CD and your computer. ;)

Yes, but without the disc, I carry it with me in a backpack where ever I go! I do that with all games I like, taking them with me everywhere. Well... my CD-drive can still read it, that's the main thing I guess, as long it works, but scratches have always annoyed me :'(, always... I can't stop worry :'(!
-
You should see EA discs, I don't know what they're made of but it must be cheap. I'm very careful with all of my things - but my BF2142 disc looks damn awful these days. :'(

I'm on your side there :), you have my support, I know how it feels to worry about game disc's :'(, awful...

Ahh, I'm in luck. I bought the download ;D
But, many of my other games are not so lucky..
Countless games of mine are no longer usable due to scratches. DVD movies as well. I'm very irresponsible when it comes to discs. But it seems they could be more scratch resistant...

I'm the most careful on earth with the discs I like, SS08 for example, I panic everytime I see a scratch on 1 of the discs I like :o...

I had a deep scratch on my old msfs discs and they polished out using a kit bought at the local pc retailer. Stop worrying.
If you're carrying all your fav discs around with you all the time... you need help ;)

You're right :), the SS08 disc works, every time I put it in the CD-drive, it works :).

I wonder if VSTEP would replace your disc if you sent the damaged one to them? This doesn't involve me as I bought the download version. I'm always going to backup my setup file though.

So far my Ship Simulator 2008 disc works fine :), I'm currently playing Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time :D.

Don't quote me on this, but I would be very surprised if they didn't- provided they were satisfied that you had a licence key.
However, once, back in the dark ages (before many of you were born) I had a commodore 64 with 'stealth fighter' (silly name as the f19 was never a fighter...) anyway, Microprose replaced the tapes for me as I wore them out... after handling charge though, it was only a couple of quid less than the new box price.

I have never worried about a disc, they can take more beating then you think. ;)

Well, my 'Scream 3' DVD has just broken on me :'( and I look after my discs like they are gold ::)
-
My Titanic Explorer, I found it :D!!!

Well I have Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 which is a great game and somehow I put a small crack in the disk. Sometimes it would run and other times it would not. However I contacted Atari to see if they could replace the disk if I sent them my authentic broken one and they refused. I was furious because it's like they don't care about their customers. It wasn't the fact that I had to buy another disk as I could get one off eBay for about £4 but the fact that they refused on the spot and didn't ask any questions :'(
-
Probably because the replacement disc is so cheap to buy new...
I had the same thing with MSFS- they refused to sell a 1998 version (I asked early 2002) which I wanted for the concord (not the missing E ;) )
They refused (ok- there was a new version available) but the reason for it 'it includes the twin tours in New York... and it is a risk that terrorists may use that version for training). Not meaning to be disrespectful, but banning the version AFTER the attack...

EA replace broken discs - but it will set you back £7.50 (and your original disc) and a SAE. This wouldn't be too bad, if their discs weren't such poor quality to begin with. Like DJM, I treat my discs like Gold, but the way my BF2142 disc looks these days, just from playing it... :'( :'(

There are mods for all versions of Flight Sim that put them back in any way. ::)

Whose to say I don't STILL use the C64 >:( Whats wrong with it?
What is the betting that someone takes that seriously and explains it. You know someone will. It is bound to happen. Stating the obvious is a past time for some people.

Oh right, thanks Orinoco. I'm not worried whether the towers are there in the game or not... But I did want the Concord in it... I tried importing it into 02 but couldn't get the cockpit to work :( and some of the download ones are ****.

True, but there are probably payware ones about. I tend to have payware airports and textures, but free planes (I can't justify paying £18 for one plane..)
-
I have not seen my James Cameron's Titanic Explorer for ages, not since 1997...
-
Haha, wow, they refused to give you that disc because the world trade centers were in the game?
It's amazing how their thought patten works. For a country that wants to "never forget", they sure are doing a good job of forgetting. (Yes, I'm also an American, but, I should be able to offer critique on my own country as well :P )
Couldn't the terrorists use other versions for training? And also how you said that, Stu,... banning it AFTER 9/11? The towers are gone, they have already brought them down, so why would the terrorists be training to run planes into the towers if they're already gone? Seems pointless on Microsoft's part to do anything about it, seeing as how it can be modded to put them back in. I guess they just don't want responsibility for anything, and are afraid that they will "offend" someone.. ugh..
And what I mean by that, about never forget/forgetting, is how they are always taking the towers out of media, and not showing other things with the towers in it. I just hope they don't make a movie where it takes place in pre-9/11 New York, but the towers aren't there, as if they never existed.
Sorry, the thing about the towers and 9/11, and how media and games and all of that has to change because of it... it just kinda.. annoys me. It's a "pet peeve" of mine, if you will. If the towers are in there, I say leave em' in. So anyway, my rant is over :D
Anyway........
C64? Reminds me of N64. I still have the old Nintendo 64, but I never use it. In fact, I'm not even sure where exactly it is.
Now that I think of it, I had ONE boat game! In fact, I think they even had the Titanic in it ;D
I also had a neat little game called "Beetle adventure Racing". But, then I got the computer. That was way back, a long time ago, around summer of 2001. Later I got PS2. But, I ONLY got the PS2 because Grand theft Auto 3 was on it ;D :D
And now I have San Andreas for the PC, but now that disc/DVD is all scratched up :(
And R.M.S. TITANIC, what's this "Titanic Explorer" you mentioned?
-

She had a checkup to see if she'd still got it. Luckily shes had the all clear until next year ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hudizzle: I think that was MS code for wanting me to buy the newer version (which I did... minus the Concord)

What version do you use now? FS9, or FSX?
-
04 i think. haven't played it for ages. maybe a couple of years back at least. bores the rump out of me.
In fact, I bought 02/04 whatever it was then never played it after a couple of goes. Disappointed that the flight dynamics are so unstable.

Capt. Spencer.
Sorry I didn't see your post... here's me ignoring your comment and talking total rubbish right over you.
I can assure you that this is me needing to get glasses rather than a lack of sensitivity.
Apologies. Glad she is OK

Scares like that certainly stop you taking people for granted, don't they? Hope that makes something positive come from it.

I guess so, better rethink my strategy then ;)

Indeed, I would actually find it too difficult to rethink any strategy like that anyway........it's habit now ;)
All my DVD's and games are stored in alphabetical order and I know exactly where all my files are on my PC AND what these files are too lol (3 Hard Drives). I know, it's a little obsessive, but that's me ;D

I found some scratches on the Ship Simulator 2008 disc, but it still works :-\.
