Title: New Key Needed
Post by: Fusee1 on December 29, 2012, 03:16:38 am
I bought this game several years ago and several computers ago :)  I really want to re-install it.  I have emailed several times to admin@bit-blot.com.  I have revived no responses.   I have the registration name and what I think is the original email address (which no longer exists).  I hope someone can help me with this. 
  I do not have a twitter account so I will need an email address to contact whom ever should be contacted.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide

(First off, if it asks for a key I assume you have one of the first versions.)

If you still have your installer, you're lucky: You can upgrade from an 1.0.x installation by using a little tool I made (http://fg.wzff.de/pub/aquaria/stuff/AQAntiStoneAgePatch.zip), and then further as described in this topic (http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=4313.0).
It does not need the key for the installation, only for running the game. But if you follow this, you do not need a key after updating, it won't ask anymore and runs well without one.

If you don't have the installer anymore, email zaphire@gmail.com (= Alec) with your infos. If you don't get a response within a few days, post here again and we'll see what to do.
Also, if you get an answer privately, it would be nice to post a quick note that you got helped, because about once a month someone with the same problem appears here and hardly anyone ever says anything anymore after their initial post.  :-\

(Btw, I heard that admin@bit-blot.com is flooded with spam and no-one actually checks it anymore.)

Thank you so much False.Genesis!!!   I did have the installer for 1.0 and your tool appears to have worked perfectly! 

After playing for only 30 minutes I am surprised, once again, by what an awesome game this is
