Default Value of British Entertainment Pack?

Hello, everyone. I have the "Entertainment Pack" for Windows XP that was officially released by LucasArts. It includes four CD-ROMs: Grim Fandango, The Dig, Full Throttle, and Sam 'n Max, all which have been modified by Lucasarts to run on XP.

These were originally released in Britain for WinXP. They work perfectly on XP, by the way. No ScummVM required. Very cool.

Does anyone know what the value of these might be? I have the complete set. (I'm in the USA).

Nate

You will proceed to deliver this Entertainment Pack to me. For every hour you do not comply, we will club a baby seal. Thank you for your consideration in this most dire business matter.

Welcome to the forum, Nate.

If you do a search of completed auctions on eBay, that could help you get an idea of what the entertainment pack sells for (and of course, something's only worth what others are willing to pay for it!)

This is kind of an aside but they probably look better in ScummVM anyway. 3x with anti-aliasing makes them look far far better than they used to!

Of course Grim Fandango doesn't work in ScummVM IIRC. But it does work on XP with no compatibility mode - HT can be a problem though

I bought that pack in a store here a year ago for about $50-$60.

I paid about the same for it last year (think it was in gamestation), its usually about £9-£14 in shops. Although if it was never released in the US then its probably worth more over there.

Thanks everyone for the replies. The problem with ebay is I haven't seen one go by in a while so I have no idea what they are selling for.

Is there a better place to sell such a rare item?

Maybe it was the vast quantities of sheep that populate both areas but how could you get those two places mixed up?

Yep. SCUMMVM graphic filters are a blessing.
