King's Bounty on Steam?

[TheHourOfTheMice]

greetings, just posting to say that i'm having a fantastic time with this game (i bought fallout 3 and played it for 3 hrs before heading back to KBTL, which has somewhere around 20-30 hrs :p) and to ask if there might be any plans to have KBTL on steam?

i already have KBTL on dvd, but if the game comes out on steam, i will happily purchase it again so that i can play the game without having to keep the dvd in the drive. i understand there is a online downloaded version of KBTL through gamegate or something like that (i forget the exact name of the company), but i'd rather have KBTL with all my other steam games, especially seeing as how atari is a partner in the steam network or something (at least, i have some of atari's games on steam).

anyway, i'd seriously love to buy the game over again on steam, so if there are any plans for such, please let me know...thank you and thanks for the awesome game!

If it does come out on steam you wouldn't need to buy it again, just add it to your steam games list using the serial number you already have

I would also like to know if the games going to steam, so far no one local carries the game and I had mixed results with Direct2Drive re Patches and future support.

I bought the game from Atari's online sales thing. I'm not in a supported country, so I chose "USA" but it worked like a charm and the download was fast. They don't use a "launcher" like Steam, only a self-downloader that you can delete once you have the game. Just click BUY NOW:

Edit: Note that, by default, it lists some extra charges in order to have the game available for download for two years or some such. I keep backups on my multiple hard drives so I disabled that to save some money.

Alexander or anyone else,

Do you know what version the digital download from Atari is?

D2D is not the best at keeping up to date with patches and from what I've read it'd like to get 1.65 if possible.

Is there any U.S. digital download 1.65 available?

[Al3xand3r]

No clue what version it may be, I'd imagine the same thing Atari sell on disc. patch 1.65 worked fine for me, I don't remember where I downloaded it from but the file name is KB165.exe.
