Where to buy old games?

[jumpjack]

I don't trust ebay, so where could I buy old games? Any "official reseller site"?

Depends. Some titles supported by ScummVM are still on sale:

Simon and Feeble: http://www.adventuresoft.com/acatalog/Games.html
Inherit the Earth: http://www.wyrmkeep.com/ite/purchase.html
I have no Mouth: http://harlanellison.com/herc.htm (insane price here)
Broken Sword 2: http://www.cdaccess.com/html/pc/brokens2.htm
Full THrottle: http://www.cdaccess.com/html/shared/fullth.htm

Humongous Entertainment games (not that rare):

etc.

Also LucasArts still sells its adventure pack to US only.

In most cases, no. Some of the games are still being sold, though. I haven't verified this, but according to their Web pages...

• Broken Sword 1 and 2 from Sold-Out Software.
• Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, and The Feeble Files can be bought from Adventure Soft Publishing.
• Inherit the Earth can be bought from The Wyrmkeep Entertainment Co.
• The HERC Store is selling I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream but I don't know if they'll deliver it to outside the US. Besides, the game is not yet playable in ScummVM.

I used to find The Dig and Full Throttle in stores every now and then, and sometimes The Curse of Monkey Island, though I haven't seen them for some time now. I guess it depends on where you live.

Are they still selling that? I can't find it in their "Classics" section. In fact, I'd say that section is completely devoid of classics whatsoever.

Buy hey, at least you can still buy Star Wars games, Star Wars strategy guides, Star Wars t-shirts, Star Wars DVDs, Star Wars toys, and Star Wars iPod covers.
