He's right, you know. Anything still sold anywhere is still ont abondonware.
I, on the other hand cannot wait for Total Annihilation to become abandonware, however long it may take. It is nearly impossible to get here in the UK. Tom, does selling something second-hand really count? My local Gamestation has loads of really old games second hand for about two pounds, but they are not sold anywhere else at all. I looked just about everywhere. |

I know that! I supposed to buy it! And as I told you before: I CANNOT GET IT! See, I live in hungary. I searched every game store and web-game store in hungary. Results: "Never seen that in ages!", "Out of stock!", "We dont sell a game THAT old!", "We just sold the last one, sorry!", "A Blade what?", "Buy HL2 instead!" See that? I REALLY want to buy it, but unfortunety I can't. Probably you will say: "Buy it online". Okay, that can be done, but just imagine the postal cost from USA to Hungary. Thats 4 times more that the games cost. If I had that mucho peso, I've already bought it, I swear. Anyway, if anybody has Balde Runner and wants to sell it, please contact me! Please ... [/b][/quote] That's not always true - USA mail is just hideously expensive compared to most other countries so try looking in other stores online or on eBay for sellers from Europe. In Belgium we could ship a game like Bladerunner for a mere €5 to Hungary. |

Blade Runner is protected.
Just in case you didn't know: On the main Abandonia page, there is an Oldwarez link, click it and search for the title. Then you will see the status on the game, wether it's protected or not. You can also try eBay to see if any copies are for sale there.

hmm but thats strange, cause on oldwarez list it says 'westwood' in company field, but on mobygames it says that it was published by 'virgin interactive entertainment' http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/blade-runner
and for example ignition, which is also from 1997 published by virgin, is abandonware. (btw isnt ebay like user-to-user trading?)

eBay is an auction site, if I'm correct.
About that mess-up with the companies, I wouldn't know, so I choose to trust the OWL for the sake of harmony at home.

i would wait for fifth horseman to post
by the way. it is auction site, but i meant that its not that companies sold their games 'massively' there (thats what i mean with user-to-user) you can also find the mentioned ignition for trade and its also abandonware http://cgi.ebay.com/IGNITION-PC-Game-By-Vi...6QQcmdZViewItem
