Questions on The eYe

Hi everyone,

a few questions:

1. On the Arena CD, track 13 is supposed to be Liar (according to www.queenpicturehall.com). On my version, it is Party. Is any one of them a mispressing then?
2. On WWRY (live), do all countries have different announcements during the song, in the local language? On mine it is all in German, so I was wondering.
3. The error on You don't fool me, mentioned on the website above, what is it? I didn't notice anything.

Thanks
Jan

1.I haven't got Party on disc 1, I'm having 2 times Liar (both 1:26)

2.I bought mine version in Holland, and the version I got is in the original language (english)

3.I didn't notice anything either

1. Both times Liar. Is it instrumental version of Party on your disk? If so - then it's something unique, man!
2. English. Bought in Russia, box and booklet on Russian, the game itself is on English.
3. "A joy to listen to, but watch out for a nasty glitch at around 3:20."

Thanks for the quick answers. Yes, it is indeed an instrumental of Party, the regular song, complete, but without any vocals. During WWRY, a voice is making announcements in German, because I have the German version of the game, and on the CDs, it is printed "Deutsch". Hm...I was only wondering if this is normal for other countries too.

Yep. Checked mine and it's Liar.

If Party IS an instrumental or an edited version, are you able to share it with us please?

As it doesn't seem to be on anyone else's discs, it can hardly be classed as official can it....???

Thanks,
David

For anyone who's interested though, the announcement is:

"Willkommen zur größten Show auf Erden. Mitbürger unter dem Auge, ja es ist mal wieder soweit, wir sind gespannt, ob sich unser Kandidat durch die Arena bis zur Spitze durchkämpfen kann. Wir alle kennen die Regeln: hol die passenden Magnetiten, setz die Plattform in Gang und steig bis zur Spitze auf, wo bereits der letzte Wächter auf dich wartet. Bezwinge ihn und du bist frei. Was für ein Preis! So viele haben es versucht, und so viele sind gescheitert. Bevor wir beginnen, wollen wir an unser Credo denken. Wir müssen alle sehen, um zu glauben. Nun aber los, schließen Sie ihre Wetten ab, die Show kann beginnen!"

Thanks! Now I'm curious about if any other localized versions contains other rare instrumentals...

Two thoughts -

1) what a rare and terrific thing to have turn up so many years after this game was released. I have had the UK version for eons and this is definitely not on my set.

2) This is not the best song for an instrumental version. Those first 40 monotonous seconds are pretty deadly - lol

Thank you for posting. According to this site http://www.ultimatequeen.co.uk/Songs/eye.htm the song is listed in the The eYe book, but is not on the cd. Is your (German) version a promo version of the game, or the regular version? Maybe the song is on promo versions only? Or on German versions only? Interesting!

Hi Walter,

I bought that game in a normal shop, normal box, normal booklet, no promo. It's just the German version, so all the characters in the game speak German too. By now only the CD-ROMs are left though. For whatever reason, I didn't care to keep the whole package. :-) Your ultimatequeen link says that both Liar versions are in the same, so I wonder if that was intended, why would you put the same two tracks on one CD? So I guess, Party was supposed to be on it but in fact isn't, right?

Localised versions released later might have corrected some of the errors of the original English version, namely:
- The Liar reiteration (and, perhaps, also Khashoggi's Ship)
- The glitch in You Don't Fool Me.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for answering my question. Are there any other tracks (apart from the ones you have posted here) that seem to be not on the English version? I mean, if you see the list on the website that I posted a link to, there are several other tracks (e.g. Invisible man) that were not on the actual game/discs.

(VERY appropriate signature Wilki!)
