I was in lebanon when I got SC. There are no original CDs for games in 3rd world countries, only ripoffs and bundles such as this one. Its why I lack a CD key. I already told you guys this two times before  ::)

Anyone who has played retribution and VotF would know that VotF is in fact a sequel to retribution. ;D

Although VOTF shares some elements with Retribution, mainly characters, I wouldn't really call it a direct sequel.

Did RazorclawX make Retribution too? VotF is an awesome custom campaign, Retribution not so much.

no, I believe he created VotF after being inspired by "retribution" and the anime program "ranma 1/2". Like zictorust said, it isn't a direct sequel. Its......an indirect sequel...yeah I think thats the word I'm looking for...

No surprise there then.  Except maybe wondering what a mediocre campaign expansion pack is doing in the stores of Lebanon.  Even if they are all rip offs, it isnt as if they would help to sell the game.

Lebanese don't care about quality. only quantity. Some lebanese guy likely got all the SC related stuff he had on his PC and made this starcraft CD. Same story with the latter two CDs I bought later on. My second SC CD I bought featured a complete pile of infoceptor mods. my third CD had Resurgence and fallen angel. Yeah, I had 3 SC CDs. then one day when I was cleaning out my house I accidentally threw away all my SC CDs in the garbage (they were all in one case).

Red alert 2 and CS 1.6  are still quite popular in Lebanon and LAN cafe's are only beginning to try out C&C Generals and they have only begun to hear about something called "Counter strike source". (blizzard games are not popular in Lebanon)

lol it was really cheap anyway. All game CDs in lebanon cost the same price= 3.50 dollars :P

And no, i know absolutely no details apart from the fact that the name of the CD store that I bought it from was called "Intercom" :P

Heh, did you see KurenaiJiku's Gundam Century mod for sale? I remember he said he saw it for sale, with a custom box and everything.

filefront= infinite bandwith, infinite downloads, infinite everything you can think of except download speed which is 100kb/s.
rapidshare= 1 download at a time, huge delay 90min between one download and the other, limited bandwith, downloads get deleted after a while. Epic down speed if you have good internet.
