Anox Friday & Win2K

Well it was made official by Eidos earlier today. Anachronox which started development many many moons ago has finally shipped. The game will be on shelves as early as this Friday. Here's a little feature list of sorts that we can expect

Anachronox is a 3rd person, 3D role-playing game (RPG) using the heavily-modified Quake 2 engine (32-bit graphics, particle system, spline-based camera scriptor, APE programming language). The player controls up to three characters at a time, from an eventual cast of seven, exploring the galaxy. Gameplay is exploration and interaction of the environment, melee with various galactic foes, and discovery of unique weapons and items that aid you on your quest. You can choose different characters to play and different ways to do things, leading you to different events and areas in the game. Each character has different Battle Skills with unique effects, and World Skills they can use to access places and info the other characters can't.

We're getting reports of various problems running the game under Win2k. Officially that OS is unsupported (by mandate of Eidos' tech support), however we (the anox coders) think that's kinda weak and are therefore looking into the problem right now. The problem is that all three of us run Win2k on our development stations and none have had any issues with the game. This is a problem because we're still looking for an easily reproducible case
