Many adventure games are rereleased by Sold Out Software and in the Advertising forum, there was a post by someone listing a number of ame sellers in the UK.

Most of the new games i buy i get from www.dvdboxoffice.com They are cheap, but sometimes items are out of stock and they take a while to get them back in stock. You can also try www.dragon.ca I have used both companies a number of times and can recommend either of them.
Just checked www.dragon.ca According to their website they have Syberia for PC in stock. It will cost approx £8 for shipping.
If you would rather buy from the UK try www.play.com They don't have the best choice, but they are reliable and ultra cheap. If you don't already have The Watchmaker it is being released in the UK on the 13/12/02. Play are taking pre-orders for it now for £17.99 (recorded p+p included.)
For older games try one of the online auction sites.

Status : Online | Also just a point on the 2nd post. It is almost impossible to buy Syberia in the UK. Amazon.co.uk have it listed, but its a special order and can take 4-6 weeks. None of the major online software retailers have it. I ended up buying mine from www.dvdboxoffice.com
You could try one of the high street retailers like EB or Game. I looked in my local EB and Game on Saturday though and the choice of adventure games was abysmal.

| Deleted User | You can buy online direct from Dreamcatcher, CD Access (who deliver SOOO quickly. I order one day - and they arrive about 36 hours later!)
INTERACT, of course DarkFall can be got from the developers in London.
What I tend to do is see which games are getting good preview reviews - then go to the developers website.
Most of them sell on-line.
I've found the JA Forum an invaluable source of on-line retailers.

| Deleted User | Pippa,
I had a lot of trouble finding Syberia a couple of weeks ago too. I found this place . . Try here ; http://www.ajg-games.co.uk/cgi-bin-games/shop.cgi?search=syberia
I spoke to the chappie on the phone at about 8p.m. (he might be there now), to check his stock levels. He was very helpful. Good luck and let me know how you get on.
.
Cheers !
P.S. ; Game came in 8 days.

| Deleted User | Paulie -
I've been trying to access Frogwares for a few days now.
I can't get it to load either - I think it is just very slow on my machine.
I don't get the 404 error - it just trys for about three minutes before I give up.

I know what you mean, UK is not a good plays to be if you like adv games. (I used to live in Sweden,no problems getting adv games. Now I live in Dublin and it is as bad as UK so thank G**D for the net)
Here is two sites (UK) with some adv games that I have used in the past (they have Syberia among others)
www.edream.co.uk
www.netbuyer.co.uk
Good Luck

| Deleted User | Well - I went into the Big City (Carlisle) today and trawled the various game stores.
I found one new adventure in 'Game'.
It's for 3 years+ - "Gast - the greatest little ghost".
I asked about several games due out soon - but none of them had plans to stock them.
In fact - HMV are selling off their PC games at knock down prices. From £2.99.
I reckon they'll soon stop stocking PC games altogether.
My copy of Cameron Files 2 and Darkfall arrived this morning - Yus!!!
(And yes - I bought Gast

| Deleted User | :-/ Pippa,
Did you see my earlier post in this thread where I tried to help you to find Syberia ? If you did, did you try them ? Any luck ? All the talk as been about Sherlock since then so you may have missed it.

They have a fair selection - and I ordered Gabriel Knight 1 & 2 as a pack 2 days ago - it arrived today!
Not bad - it had to come all the way to Scotland!

Status : Online | Sorry not to have repied to ypu before. Yes i did get message and all this talk of Sherlock holmes has taken the heat off Syberia. I have made a note of the address you gave me and will contact them, but having now ordered 2 other games will have to wait a while to collect some more pennies. Hope you enjoyed Syberia. Thanks for your help no doubt we will speak again
