Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura [SOLD] [GoG]
 

Looking for a game named Arcanum, it was a RPG kinda like Baldur's Gate if memory serves me correctly. Any help in finding it would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is on Amazon, Yahoo, or eBay. It's still being sold.

Uhm... a 2001 Sierra game... what made you think that one was abandoned? :blink:

Point me to an actual store still selling the game. Also to the person with the "Uhm" comment first it can be spelled "um or umm". Second there isn't anything on Sierra's site about the game and since no store is selling it, I thought that it might be abandoned. Thanks for nothing but a waste of time.

BURNT!

YALL JUST GOT BURNT!

Well, IDK what stores are around you so no luck in that, but any store has the Best Sellers series and it's the only living copy which works. Go find it.

Sierra is an ESA company, which can be seen here. Sierra has an active ESA Protection for 20 years, meaning that Arcanum will be abandoned earliest in 2022 - that is why your best bet is second hand shops. It doesn't matter that no first hand copies are sold. The game is off-limits.

In Poland about a half a year back Arcanum was given to some computer games magazine for free. :kosta: So the cost was only the cost of magazine - not more than 4-5 euro.

More then one magazine, I believe. Gamestar and CD-Action, to be exact.

But yah, off-limits.

Hmm, I haven't noticed the CD-Action version of Arcanum. I knew about the Gamestar, because the magazine was in a kiosk near my home for about half a year - noone wanted to buy it ... :bleh: I do not know why. Maybe not only me didn't liked it :sneaky:
