Bix Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/256249.asp EB Games is supposedly selling Lock On Gold, from the looks of it, appears to be a ripoff of our beloved F.C. E.D. Team, please look into this. Thanks, Taxman
DayGlow Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 my understanding is that it's LOMAC 1.02, but they cut and paste the 1.1 info onto the EB games screen. Legal product, wrong discription.

SAM-Smasher Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Thats really quite sick :/ "I love smashing the crap out of those buggers on the ground who keep making a beeping sound on my RWR..... the bells the bells!!!!!!.... erm yeah.... I like destroying SAM sites, thats the main point"
condor11 Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I don't think it is just Lomac. Look at the publisher - EVOLVED GAMES, not UBI. Besides it won't be released until June 28. Maybe it is the real thing.
VVanks Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 PLEASE BE THE REAL THING! Okay, I'm calm. Homepage: http://www.worldwynd.net Coming Soon: http://www.simplywyn.com
Stormin Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 According to my sources at both Eagle and Ubi, it is not V1.1. Someone from Ubi cut a deal with Evolved to do a budget version of Lock On. Someone at either Evolved or EB thought they had the rights to V1.1 FC and copied the text and screenshots from Eagle's site. They do not have the rights to V1.1 Flaming Cliffs. TFC/ED is aware of this situation. Without V1.1 I fail to see how they could call it "Gold".
169th_Viking Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Someone at either Evolved or EB thought they had the rights to V1.1 FC and copied the text and screenshots from Eagle's site. Hehe.they thought they had the right to FC? Rather unusual for a company like that to show this kind of lack in quality managment. I hope this version is upgradable to 1.1 so ED can make some deserved profit on it. rgds Viking

It now appears that my sources were mistaken or some kind of a deal was worked out after this product was first made public on the net. Until I have a logical explanation from someone in the know I just can't say for certain what the story is regarding this Gold product.
BOPrey Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 The publisher of Lock On Gold is EvolvedGames. A quick search find Evolved Games only has 3 games in their product line, and Lock On Gold is not one of them. From the limited screen shot of them, the graphics look dated. The most interesting thing is, the later new update on their website is on Feb 4, 2005. Their domain is register to Michael Bellhorn who used to work at Moby as a QA officer. Here is the detail... evolvedgames.com Michael Bellhorn 800 E. Broward Blvd. Suite 610 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 US +1.9547678383
