I'm not from england. But i feel honored that it seems believable,
since i learned english mostly through cartoons and pornographic movies. (Not much dialog, so it is easy to pick up new words which makes it nice for learning a language) I don't really know port erin, maybe i just stumbled over it somehow while registering here, since i usually use "saint helena" as my location to register with a community i don't know. I will edit that. But when i say $ i mean USD. Buying online isn't always that bad, steam is having a sale here on company of heroes 1,99€ or the "gold" version for 2,49€ - 2€ equal 2,57$ at the moment. Actually this is the first time i've seen stuff like that, except for amazon and ebay maybe. But i see where you are coming from with that. 50€ for a new game? I mean i can go to the store buy it for the same and even get a dvd box, sometimes even a poster if i'm lucky.* I know that there are people in between me and the publisher / developer, but nobody can tell me that blizzard manages to put Diablo2 on the market, for only 9 to 15€ depending on the reseller, with box and everything (including LoD). But they can't manage to put a title on the market as a download for less than 20$? That's way beyond making a profit. I also don't know for sure why it never was bundled with 2 and 3, but i imagine it's because of comparability problems. RCT worked fine under Win 9x, but i think XP wouldn't run it anymore so it needed a patch which apparently wasn't released for quite a while. I got a downloaded version** to run under vista but i experienced loads of problems especially with saving, to my knowledge there is no patch for vista and i'm not sure if/how it runs on 7. Traditional game stores are great, but they get smaller round here or have to get closed. Recently snatched lost vikings for the GBA for 5€ - on ebay you pay between 15 and 20€. Seems to be relatively rare but popular - figured... **I've worn out 3 CD's of it in the first 2 years, and didn't knew it was still available, but it probably even wasn't at that point, i payed for it 3x and consider it to be ok, and most people so far agree since i technically own 3 licenses. *Remember the times when games came in huge boxes, with big booklets, sometimes even stickers posters and other schwag? These days i buy games just because of that to support it. I remember the whispered world came with dice as a copy protection, and poster with a game printed on the back to use those with, best buy of the last years. Trackmania United came with a t-shirt - which even back in the late 90's would have been seriously rad. Yes - it's not important but i miss it. I still keep my original Diablo2 handbook for nostalgic value. And to surprise kiddies that think getting 15 page handbooks the size of a DVD box was always normal. Back then some of them had pretty nice artwork etc in them, i should take pictures.

It (+ both expansions) runs for me under WinXP, but I don't know if I patched it. I only know that I edited the Windows registry to play it without CD.
