On this month's MacAddict CD, there is the demo of POG.
I haven't installed it yet, but intend to, as well as registering POG.
My question is that can I upgrade the demo on the disk to the full installed version? Eg if I install it, and then pay online to register, will I be able to unlock that version?
I don't have a fast internet connection so don't want to have to download 120MB.
------------------
You can't upgrade the demo on the disk to the full, the 120mb size is the data for the game, The demo is so small because you can explore only so far. So you still need to download the Full version.
Since the new version of pog is out, this means the CDs are finaly ready to go, so you can just get the CD now.

...but the full version of the game is on the MacAddict CD.
So to answer your question, istara, yes -- all you need to do is register the game and you'll get a license code that unlocks the version you have, and turns it into the full version.
You can also download the update to the full version, as well as the Trinity plugin, to further enhance your game playing experience. You can grab them here:

Hey, I got the "full" version from the MacAddict disk, and didn't have to do anything but register. No downloads, no problems, other than being so wrapped up in th game that everything else is on hold!

Update it to version 1.0.1 -- download the update, it is small. See above for the link.
You are lucky to have a full version! In the UK we cannot get Macaddict. I live in the Uk and only have access to a 56k modem line. It would take about 8 hours to download the full version of the game. I have repeatedly tried to download the full versio over a night but my ISP cuts me off after 2 hours! I often get as far as 80+ MB by reconnecting each time they dosconnect then it stops and unstuffs as corrupt! I want the CD!!!!! There is still noapparent date for the realease of the CD but at least you can buy Macaddict there and get it! I have played the demo as far as I can go and am getting very frustrated at the delay in the release of the CD which I registered for and purchased in August.
I do not suppose anyone kind soul with a MacAddict CD they no longer want or willing to lend it would sent it to me? I could send it back later if you want!!!
Desperate in England!!!!!
You can use Internet Explorer to resume downloads it they stop.
I am having real problems downloading! Last night it only reached 34 MB before stopping and trying to unstuff! TWICE!! And it only works as long as I have not shut down the computer, ie, if it is bedtime and I shut down, the next day it begins at zero again!
I need at leaast 8 hours time to do a complete download! I get automatically cut off after 2 hours with my ISP, I restart the downloiad and sometimes it works and sometimes it just stops and tries to unstufff but stops telling me the file is corrupted! The most of MB's I have ever managed toachieve is 84MB before it unstuffed itself!!
Please oh please! When is the CD coming out?!!!!
Still desperate in England!!
Micky,
I had trouble DLing the full game as well, and was finally successful when I used Fetch to get the file through FTP. Just type in ftp://ambrosiasw.com, then go to the pub folder, etc.
Of course now the game is crashing (error type 2) when ever I try to launch it, but I'll put that on a separate topic.
If you need to download it using a modem, use hotline at "www.bigredh.com" and acess ambrosia's hotline site to download POG, it'll let you resume even after shutting down.
You can use Interarchie or Speed Download to give you reliable resuming without hotline, I downloaded it on my 56k modem quite fast with only 1 resume.

Although the UK doesn't have MacAddict a full version of the game was also published on Macformat recently. I think it's the same as the one on MacAddict except that it doesn't come with the Techno Plugin.
P.S 2 hour cutout time? Are you with NTL?
Hmm...I still haven't gotten the CD yet...Andrew, are the CD's shipping yet?
