I would really like to buy some old adventuregames like zork nemesis or dott. But also Grim Fandango and TLJ. Those are the only BIG adventure games i never had the pleasure to play.
I know i can go to amazon.com but they don't ship games to europe. So is there anyone who knows an online store who delivers in europe.

Thanx

I can help you buy the longest journey. You have two options

a) Funcom's (the company that made the game) online shop.
http://www.longestjourney.com/shop/

You can buy the game through there, and i think it is the best option. But here is another one just in case.

b) I know a retailer in Sweden that has it and according to their website they can ship to other countries if you have a credit card.

The site of the retailer is www.webhallen.se or www.webhallen.com . If you click on the english link on the right top corner they give you details of what to do if you want to order a game from abroads.

I also give you the link for the game's page in the site because they will ask you the game's name and it is in Swedish.
http://www.webhallen.com/page.php?_id=7713&PHPSESSID=bda50659e179a560255f9789f766375e&PHPSESSID=bda50659e179a560255f9789f766375e

You should know that although the name is spelled in swedish, 'Den längsta resan', the game is in English so you don't have to worry about that. You could tell them also in a mail that you are interested in the english version just to be double sure.

Hope this helps.

I also give you webhallen's link to all their adventure games, in case you want to buy another one...but I would definitely recommend TLJ. It is one of the best adventures ever made.

if you rule out the fact that they either charge you more than the game itself for postage or they send you only the cds and manuals discarding the box (to Europe that is)... i once bought Quest for Glory collection series from them and i had to send it to a relative that was in USA and he then sent it to me

ebay of course is one of the best sources... try also www.ebay.co.uk or www.ebay.de were you'll find more european sellers (ie less postage)

also check out the lucasarts store were you can find nearly all their old advs... i'm not sure if they ship to Europe though

You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

Dude, my eyes nearly fell out when you said that amazon didn't ship to Europe. www.amazon.co.uk does, if I recall correctly, because it's UK based.

I've also bought cds from amazon.jp for anyone interested
