| Deleted User | Check out this Western Australian site that does Adventure Games reviews, news etc. Under "Buying Games" they have a good list of Aussie site links for buying games online.

Haven't been reading posts for many weeks and only just read this one. Many thanks to you Janelle for posting the reply to Bazza. I haven't had a chance to really check out the site you mentioned properly yet, but have certainly added to my "favourites" list for future reference.

Quandaryland is a great site, but I never looked at their links of where to buy games online. Great links, for Australia and New Zealand, Canada, United Kingdom, and United States!

| Deleted User | Yep! Quandaryland.com is definitely a good place for reviews and other stuff. I definitely recommend this site for quality reviews along with Just Adventure+! Have fun in your new hobby!

Status : Offline | Don't know about Australia, but I've lived in New Zealand for about a year. I was disappointed by the number of adventure games in the Gameshops, but I managed to pick up a number of excellent games from the Warehouse (Grim Fandango, Discworld Noir, Gabriel Knight 3) at bargain prices!
Perhaps there are games for sale at non-gameshops in Melbourne, too?
Beta-tester of 'The Path', 'Rhiannon', 'Scratches', 'Hope Springs Eternal', 'Time Stand Still', 'Frasse and the Peas of Kejick', '1893: A World's Fair Mystery', 'Carte Blanche' and 'Oakhaven Plantation' a.o.&&

You are right. I am from Melbourne too. Which games are you after? You could borrow some games from the library, or rent them?

| Deleted User | I think the situation is the same in other countries. I live in Canada and the situation is the same- limited selection of adventure games, console games lining the walls, and no bargain bins. And since I have my doubts about the security of online shopping it is difficult to find older adventure games. I bet things are better in the US
