Hi.
I'm trying to buy the Rage Golf game but I can not find how/where to do it.

Any suggestion?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

:D Rage Software plc is the developer and publisher of GadgetGolf...
you can download/purchase GADGET GOLF at their website:

http://www.rage.com

p/s: If i'm not mistaken you can also get it from Club Nokia...

Hi again,

No way. I followed the rage link and it leads you to the software market Nokia page, where it is not possible to find the game.

I tried directly from Nokia Club with same results... :(

What could be next?

Thanks again.

Try http://www.nokia.com/games

U'll get some info there...
anyway u have to join clubnokia to get access... to purchase if i'm not mistaken..

I guess they havent release it yet at Nokia Software Market... it should be soon...

Hi!

Follow this link:
http://www.mobile2day.de/platform_psion/software/software.html?x1=905&x2=1056&se_ref_id=6716&catname=Spiele&subcatname=Sport&searchkey=1

The page is in German, but luckily "Download" is international. :D
It is the demo and you can only play the 1st hole. If you'd like to have the full game, you have to go the Nokia Softwaremarket and pay a heavy 35 €. :(

HTH,

Tilman

Hello again,

I just checked the Nokia Softwaremarket and the game seemed to have disappeared. The same happened to Virtually Board Snowboarding. :(
But they are now available from Club Nokia for 125 points or 25 € instead.

Regards,

Tilman

Is it jus me, or while all these Golf games look good, none of them play as well as the first GOLF game that came out on the Gameboy?

You got it right!!! coz i swear to god i've seen it there before!!! I really wonder why???

So it could be said that it is not possible to get it!
I tried also from Club Nokia with same results.

I really wonder why.

All links I follow get me to the demo-version. "Almost" boring of it.

Thanks.

Hello!

Why couldn't you get it from Club Nokia? From Club Nokia in Finland you can get it once you register your 9210. You can download the game and then you have to purchase the "key" for it. You can either pay with Nokia points (125) or credit card (25 €).

Regards,

Tilman

Ok.
I'm happy I could download it from Finland, but there is a small problem. I don't understand the language and I couldn't find the page in English. What a problem man!

I hope I finally can do it!
How do they want to earn money if it is so complicated to buy something so easy as a game? Sorry for this little piece of thought.

Cheers.

Hello!

I guess that is Nokia! Making simple things so complicated and expensive :)
I could have downloaded the game for you as well, but then I was not sure how you would get the key to unlock it.

Regards,

Tilman

anyway... regarding the game... i hope they are developing more golf courses as add-ons... it's pretty boring after a while playing the same course... trust me...

One reason, why I bought the snowboarding game rather than golf. Snowboarding is definitely worth the money, with golf I have my doubts, unless there are more courses. This might change my mind, because I love to play the demo, but one hole only... :-?

Personally i think the golf game was better than snowboarding... you will have all the 18 holes... maps... different camera view... it's perfect... but only 1 golf course... more courses in future i hope...

But there wasn't anything on Rage's website or did I miss something?
At least the prices are down now from 35€ -> 25€ or the same in $

I am having the WORST time trying to buy gadget golf and snowboarding in the USA!!!
ClubNokia is not available in USA.
Rage does not publish the game, only Nokia.

This is NokiaUSA's "official" response...

Thank you for contacting Nokia Software Market by Digital River.

These games are not available at the moment. They will be back but at
the moment we have no further information.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please "reply" to this
e-mail.

Sincerely,
Customer Service
Nokia Software Market by Digital River, Inc.
softwaremarket@digitalriver.com

Does anyone have any other information on their decision to remove it or their intention to offer it in the USA?

Hmmm... why they remove it??? my guess.. one of it would be the price...
It's too high!!! As for Gadget Golf, perhaps they will include more courses for the new release??? ;)

Both games have been gone now for month from NokiaSoftwaremarket, but at least they are still available at Club Nokia, at least here in Finland.
Club Nokia will expand to other countries and since the US is one target market, it might be that you have to might until Club Nokia will have a US website and hopefully you will get the games, maybe even updated versions.

;) Well i really think they are upgrading it... coz i have both of the game and to my opinion it's not worth the price...

snowboarding: the game quite okay but lacks of cool sounds and no background music... so no much differ from the demo...

golf: currently only one golf course included... adding more would be cool...

soccer: just wait for it till the next world cup i guess... 2006??? hehehe...

Bah you have to pay for these games???? I was under the impression that Nokia was supplying them free through Club Nokia (the only reason I registered there). Snowboarding sounds interesting, golf games I enjoy but only one course? That and nothing has ever beaten Microprose Golf on my Atari ST. Finally the footie game, seems all well and good, ain't seen screenshots of it, but I'd be quite happy with a Sensible Soccer clone.

The games seem to be added to Handago:

Virtual Board (Affiliate link) (http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=308&jid=8761CC966 1A9C3CBCCF4CE7C37413CF9&platformId=4&productType=2 &productId=43449&sectionId=0&catalog=1)
Gadget Golf (affiliate link) (http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=308&jid=8761CC966 1A9C3CBCCF4CE7C37413CF9&platformId=4&productType=2 &productId=43450&sectionId=0&catalog=1)

Unfortunately Club Nokia doesn't mention anything about the Soccer game. Hopefullly it will come out before the next World Cup... ;)
Nokia hasn't btw updated their own 9210 games site. For Soccer it still says "available from Club Nokia during Spring 2002" :D

I subscribed at Club nokia hoping to get all of those games free, but well Club Nokia just sucks ;) Even their site is lame.

The games seem to be added to Handago[/url]

It seems they have reduced the price a little...
But still... not enuff... huh???

:roll: waddaya think??

Well, I used the link supplied by Dazler (thanks, Bro!) but was still unable to purchase it -at the point of submitting the order, a "HTTP error:NULL" occured. I called Customer Service, and was able to purchase it over the phone (NEWBIE10 coupon code will get you 10% off).

Email said it was the full version I was downloading, so no code was necessary. Unfortunately, it installed the "1 hole/Unlock Key required" version. I am now in a Customer Service queue for help.

Does anyone know if/how the wind affects the game? Is there a way to know at tee-off?

:roll: Hmmm... thats really weird...
maybe the new version will not need the keycode???

pls update me on this... thx... :D

Anyway dont believe everything u read... it says:

"Enjoy golf on your Nokia 9200 Series Communicator. Gadget golf has an amazingly detailed course with 18 holes, bunkers, water hazards, rough areas, and more. You can also download additional courses. Players choose any combination of clubs, woods, irons and putter. To increase the difficulty, players can choose wind and weather effects..."

:x Hmmm... download additional courses??? bah!!!
:oops: wind and weather effects??? hmmm... really?? how did i missed that???

At least the price at Handango seems to be cheaper than at Club Nokia. So there is really no use of it! :roll:

;) Yeah... $22.50 is kinda reasonable... (if u are really into golf...)

I'm still not buying it, although I like golf. Let's see if there will be new / more courses soon. Then I might reconsider. I bought Snowboarding and that really rocks. I rather get some other applications first!

I actually HATE the game of golf...its the only game in the world where you whack a ball, then have to go and fetch it yourself!
And why waste a day chasing a little white ball called "goddammit!" all over the place? :D

I do enjoy playing it on the PC/phone, however!

I am going to order snowboarding next..also looks fairly cool!

I have still not heard back yet on my ggolf issue...

Well this just SUCKS!

I have now emailed two individuals at handango (gary and seth), cs@handango, and used their web customer service page to try and get this issue resolved, and NOTHING! No call back, no response, NOTHING!

WHAT GIVES, HANDANGO?!?

They have charged my credit card already, so I sent an email saying I would dispute it if I don't hear back.

Has anyone else ordered gadget golf off handango's site, and got a key or a full version software?

Has anyone else ordered gadget golf off handango's site, and got a key or a full version software?
Key / full version are based on your IMEI code :( So you have to continue fighting with Handango!

Well, after not hearing anything from Handango, I have gone ahead and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
It SUCKS doing that, but MAN! what's a man got to do to get a game around here?

Has anyone else bought this software from Handango recently?

Did you get an unlock key, or a full version?

Are there any other cool games coming out soon?
I have tried Nightmare and Dragonfire (HORRIBLE English), Doom, MeltDown, TerraForce...

Someone should make RoboCop, Contra and Double Dragon arcade games for the 92x0.

Yeah loved contra :)

I'm going for Rayman, silverball and maybe Steelwarrior 2
Review for the pool is coming up, and that's fun 2.

Try Dopewars, its based on John.E.Dell's dos classic drugwars,its fun and free-available from www.palmanac.co.uk.

When software that requires activation of any sort is bought from Handango, the responsibility usually lies with the developer to unlock your purchase. Apart from the confirmation of purchase, the next I hear regarding a purchase is from the developer.

This can take some time. When I first came to this scene, I almost made some real enemies with developers by shouting at them for not getting my unlock code to me within a few days, but that's just how long it can take.

TANKERx -> I did also email RAGE software's support, explaining the same thing. I am hoping they will be the ones to fix this for me.

Dazler -> Yep, I did Rayman...that played REALLY good, with good background sounds that created a great mood for the different levels.

Well, I got a response back from a CS person at handango finally!
The email they replied to is the one I wrote on their web request for assistance.

They asked me to send them my IMEI number, and they would send me the code (so no change in how they secure their software).

Of course, they email me the request at 4:50pm CST, and they all go home at 5pm, so no golfy-golfy for me this weekend! :x :cry: :x

UPDATE: I just got an email back with an unlock code!
WOOT! :D :D

Congrats!!! finally huh???

Happy golfing! ;) Hopefully there will be more courses soon...

Well, a weekend of playing later, I think it was worth the hassle!
I did figure out the weather thing...you have to play as a PRO for the wind to kick in. When playing as PRO, the top left hand corner of the screen will display a meter and an arrow. The meter will display the strength of the wind, while the arrow will display the direction. I did not personally see the wind affect the ball unless the wind was gusting at full speed.

Whoa! Other than the links supplied by Dazler in this forum, golf and snowboarding have disappeared again from Handango.

That's weird!
