where is a good online place to buy adventure games
While I usually have no problem downloading adventure games, I really like having the case, I was wondering where is a good place to buy adventure games? I usually try Amazon.com but they did not have 3 cards to midnight, secret files 2, or emerald confidential and I was looking to buy these three, but can't seem to find a place that carries theml.

It seems to me there's a link hovering right around here where you can buy all sorts'o adventuring computer games, download them, and start playing them right away!
Kids these days have it so easy. In my day, we had to walk upill (both ways) through four feet of snow to buy a boxed copy of Quest for Glory 2 at the strange little store that sold Apple ][ games to take it home and then spend countless nights screaming at the text parser to recognize verbs as complicated as "take" while trying vainly to reload previous games on bent floppy 5.25 disks thanks to the 10 million ways Roberta Williams thought of to kill our pixelated protagonists. And we loved it.

I start with gamespot to learn more about the games I'm interested in and then I go to ebay and find ebay stores. They usually have very reasonable prices.

As far as I know, Emerald City and 3 Cards to Midnight are download only. You can find the game info at the AG reviews. A boxed Still Life 2 will be available later, for now it's just download.

3 Cards to Midnight and Emerald Confidential are both available on Big Fish for $6.99 each with membership. (Cancel whenever you want). (Download only)
Secret Files 2 is available for a very reasonable price at SendIt.com. |
