Houston, TX #8 slewis7, Mar 13, 2013 A very good price for any good, IAP-free game. Almost certainly a great price for this one. Sold! Tommy141 Well-Known Member Jul 26, 2012 69 0 0 #9 Tommy141, Mar 13, 2013 I can remember playing the PC original a few years ago. If this is by the same people then it will be great! I'm definitely buying. Jazzpha Well-Known Member Apr 26, 2012 776 16 18 #10 Jazzpha, Mar 13, 2013 Nice, my guess of three bucks was right on target. I know I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but man I cannot wait to play this game. Ben! Well-Known Member Aug 31, 2009 449 2 18 Chicago, IL #11 Ben!, Mar 13, 2013 Sucks that this is almost sure to do worse than the game that ripped it off, but it's good that it seems to be getting so much media attention and will be treated as this week's big release.

Haven't followed the debacle in a while but or some reason I had thought Vlambeer had decided not to port this game after the release of that other game. EDIT: Just realized this is the sequel. Radical Fishing was never ported thanks to those other #$&@$@$.

I've been looking forward to it for a LONG time and hope it runs on my older device. Vlambeer Well-Known Member Aug 24, 2011 86 0 0 Netherlands http://www.vlambeer.com/ #19 Vlambeer, Mar 13, 2013 We think it should, but we're afraid we haven't been able to test it. We know it works flawlessly on the 3GS and the original iPad, though. Remember we started working on this game back in 2010, when the original iPad was a brand new thing. strivemind Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2010 2,784 2 38 Designer Ottawa, Canada http://www.strivemind.com/ #20 strivemind, Mar 13, 2013 Remember there's 2 versions of the 3rd Gen iPod Touch. One is based on the old 3G hardware, and the "Late" 3rd Gen Touch has the 3GS hardware which was a significant improvement. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
