You can download the game when you'll recieve an email.

I installed the game on my mum's PC, (she has XP) and the game works as well. I tested it a minute ; and the game is not so bad and there are some good ideas.

Update. After being unsuccessful in downloading the game b/c I have Vista, I tried to send the customer support an email. Guess what!! It didnt work. Got some sort of error message. Guess I'm gonna post on the Grog Blog now.

I'm with TSC again on this one. Right when so many players were losing faith, Disney delivers - and big time! Now whenever those awful complainers say "where is the Kraken??" we can say "Open your eyes, it's right there! In that other game!"

;)

Also, is the game compatible with Mac? I won't be receiving a code, but since you can only get it using IE and it is even having problems with Windows systems, I assume Mac users were left in the dust. Any Mac users out there have any luck?

lol Figures. They make a new game that can only be played on older systems.

Well at least the picture looks interesting.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who is not happy right now. I'm sorry, I'm a Mac user, I always will be, so, according to Disney, I'm not worthy of their support to get a goodie.

*grumbles*

The game comes in your e-mail next week if anyone doesnt know:pirate2:

djr_8fan 01-08-2010 11:47 PM

Aaron we got it today, some of us anyway. And most of us with Windows Vista or higher or Mac cannont download the game. Seems like POTCO is getting out of giving us anything. No Kraken and no Kraken tattoo.
I sent an emial to POTCO about this asking for it to be resolved because I count send one through the disney download games page.

Epic fail. It doesnt work on vista or 7? Only computer I know that has XP is the ones at school O_o

I said to myself, "No Way! There is no way in the world that the Walt Disney Corporation isn't aware that Windows XP isn't a current operating system."

It was three years ago to the date of this announcement that Windows Vista was launched. January 7th, 2007. So long ago that Microsoft has revised it, fixed it and dumped it for the next iteration of Windows. Windows 7 is what PC's are shipped with now.

Why in the world is Disney still programming for Windows XP?!? And then offering me this antique technology as a gift? Will they release Call of the Kraken for Mac OS 9 later this month?

Dear Grandma...

Thank-you for the Christmas gift. It is the nicest 8-track player I have ever seen. I can't wait to go to 1975 and buy some 8-tracks. I hope I find Iron Butterfly.

Love,
Timmy
Can these people REALLY be this clueless?!? Or is it April 1st already?

Well, if it makes any of you that can't play it feel any better, aside from the graphics, I think the game's pretty much terrible...

djr_8fan 01-09-2010 06:57 AM

I have a post on page 1 of Call of the Kraken. Sent an email to POTCO about this issue and posted it with the repsonse they sent:

You have to downloaded Internet Explorer to play. I tried it on Safari 4.0.4 and FireFox 3.5.3, and no luck.

Jeanne Stormcutter 01-09-2010 11:45 AM

I hope they will release the versions for Vista, 7 and Mac someday... I shall patiently wait till the start of February, haha, then i will be bouncing and asking whether or not they will release it.

Although... I do have my FIRST computer in the warehouse... I'd recall i upgraded it to xp many years ago, it might still work! :p

Rosa_ESG 01-09-2010 12:31 PM

I think I saved my first ever computer with Windows 95, maybe I should go have a look in the basement. It's like having an antiques collection!
