Marine Aquarium 2.6 is here.
Prolific has released Marine Aquarium 2.6 on the website http://www.serenescreen.com.
Aquarium 2.6 contains two new fish and all the functionality of Marine Aquarium 2 and Marine Aquarium Time 2. ED Note: Marine Aquarium 2.6 is a $9.95 upgrade for Marine Aquarium 1 and Marine Aquarium 2 users (even online purchasers). Marine Aquarium 2.6 is a free upgrade for owners of Marine Aquarium 2.5 CD. Additionally, we are going to be offering MA 2.6 keycodes to all owners of the bundle versions of MA2 and MAT2. Prolific will be emailing our bundle owners free keycodes during the next few days, so please be patient. Thanks again to Jim Sachs for all his hard work, and to the Order n dev team for coordinating a OS X release at the same time. |

YEAH but the new Angelfish does not render properly on my MAC. The old one does but not the new one!!
Waste of $9.95 update as I thought this was the new 3d moving background that has been waited for for so long. I,d like my update fee back and I,d like to revert back to my previous version. I dont like the clock thing either and wont use it anyway as I think it makes the scene look unrealistic,:( Also the update says it costs $5.95 for owners of the previous version but I had to pay $9.95 for this. |

I own MA2 MD. Does this version qualify for the free upgrade or do I need to purchase the upgrade for 9.95?
|
I put my 2.0 keycode in and it doesn't work.
|
I have MA2-MD and MAT2 but not as a bundle, as I was given the MAT2 keycode for being a long-term customer (as I suspect many here were). It will be interesting to see if I get a keycode for 2.6 (if not I think I'll wait for the 3D background).
My original purchase decision, all those years ago :-), was based on liking the fish a lot but not the background, but knowing a free upgrade was promised to the 3D background (all the fuss at the time made me think it would be 3 months or so, but that's just the way it goes). It will be interesting to see what fish get bundled in with the 3D version and if it is actually free to existing users (since 2.6 appears not to be). Wow - I was just looking at the MAT keycode e-mail. It's dated "Fri, 21 Feb 2020 19:23:27 -0800", does time fly or what?!? John |

HDude,
When you say angelfish - do you mean lionfish? Mentioning "the old one" (singular form) is what makes me venture this guess. Could you post a screen dump of the defective specimen? /Tiny Drakfisk |

The rest of the web site is not in synch with the binary posted. I'm sure that there will be many confusing things until it gets straightened out. |

I appreciate the efforts of JR (Schnaaps) and the rest of Prolific as well as Jim O'Connor and the rest of Order-N-Dev to launch new versions of the Aquarium on Mac and PC simultaneously. I just think we were a little surprised by the pricing structure.
|
I could understand the upgrade charge for those that only purchased MA. A lot of us purchased MA and MA Time separately rather than as a bundled item. After all MA Time wasn't even available back when I originally purchased.
|
I also purchased both and to pay half as much as the original program for two fish ain't gonna happen.
|
Can we please have some clarification on this.
I am an original MA beta purchaser, which included add on critters and 3d background ( both to be released at a later date) Do I now need to buy updates, or will the 3d background and critters be separate add on for v2.0, or am I confused and got it completely wrong? |

Ditto on both of these. $5 a fish!? Is that per pound or per fish? ;) The two new fish are great, Jim. Good work! I especially like the new Lionfish. Have not yet decided whether it is worth it or not..... I mean, I have every Aquarium that Prolific has put out.... and then some others ...... |
Maybe we need to get some clarification from Jim S. on this, but my original understanding was that the 3D background would be a free upgrade for the people that started with Jim Sachs way back when ( like before the 1.0 version). The additional charges were to be for unusual fish and creatures that will require much more work to accomplish since they will be more complex, and are made to go in the aquarium after the 3D background in the form of "creature packs" that would be made available when that point is reached.
Jim may wish to correct me here if I am wrong. |
JimR isn't in the office yet.
Let's ask him about ad hoc bundle buyers (bought each product individually) and see what happens. |
