I see some of you are more than happy with Interactcd! What other online stores do people consider reliable? I ask because I'm considering listing on my Pagoda link database a few places for buying the games. This is initially for selfish reasons - I may decide I'd like to buy a certain game because of reviews or it's in a series or it's Tuesday, but then tracking down where I can buy it is often tedious.

I would second Bernie's recommendations. I use all three sites regularly, and Play.com has the advantage of free postage & packing. Not forgetting eBay, of course, for those older and harder to find games.

What a wonderful list, ana. I am not at my own computer so cannot file them, but have copied them down and put them in my wallet.

Peter, just an FYI in case you aren't aware, justadventure.com is merely an outlet for InteractCD and not a separate "store". The store would still be InteractCD. Ana

Other than the InteractCD store, I go to justadventure.com in the "buy games" section (I'm not sure if it's the same as InteractCD store...  ) My next fave websites to buy from are Amazon.com (US), then, EBGames. Edit: Ana, I just saw your post above re...Justadventure.com and InteractCD - same thing.

UK version games i get them from Play.com and from game.co.uk. US version games i get them from InteractCD. Of the few places that offer so much excellent service and very low shipping costs. $10 from the US is nothing, and i get it in a week. For older games i use ebay.com for US games and ebay.co.uk for UK version games.

This may sound daft but when I was searching for Broken Sword 4 I found it cheaper to get it from America and have it shipped than to buy it in my own countrey England .I now there are differant names to the same game and there are American versions and English one but it is still the same game

Yeah i found that very often as well dragon, not just with computer games but software as well. They are sometimes so cheaper that even with the shipping costs it ends up cheaper again importing from the US.
