Free games - 07/10/17 04:11 PM

I am giving away hundreds of my adventure games - some never even opened. I have many boxes of them. However, I am too lazy to package them and bring them to the post office so, if anyone can get to southeastern Wisconsin and wants them, they are free for the taking. I can meet you in a nearby town, or, if you would prefer, you can come to my house to pick them up.

What a generous offer. I am close enough, but I too have hundreds I should be packing up. lol
Have you considered donating to a local school or charity (NOT Goodwill) that holds garage sales to raise money? If you don't have anyone that wants to pick up, that would be my suggestion.

I was thinking if no one wants them to bring them to half price books and see what happens. Otherwise, there is a local charity that helps people from the community and I will bring them there. But, first, I thought I would see if anyone that loves adventure games and lives close enough would want them. I probably have at least 300 games to give away.

I should have said that if no one here wants them, that is my suggestion. I think it's an awesome offer for an adventure lover! Glad you have an alternative if needed!

They found a good home. I just went to the post office to send them off. But, I will get my act together and get another box going soon. I am getting rid of almost all of them.

That is great! Who took them? They are supposed to post here, per the rules. thanks

Re: Free games - 08/11/17 08:38 PM

I'm sorry if I didn't do the rules correctly - I had posted this on Mr. Bill's site and on Adventure Gamers and somebody from Adventure Gamers asked for them.

Oh, that's ok! I thought someone from here claimed them without posting first! Not at all a problem for you to cross post elsewhere!

Do you still have any games? I'm looking for some new adventure games. I'm also looking for some games that I'd had and want to play again, like Mysterious Journey II, Egyptian Prophecy, and Myst IV.

Gladly pay shipping.

Egypt III: The Egyptian Prophecy (aka Egypt III: The Fate of Ramses) is available from FireFlower.

Is that via download Jenny?

Also is that pounds? How much in American money?


Edit: Never mind


Thanks Jenny! wink

Default price is in Euros.
There's a currency converter if you scroll down the page -- near the bottom of the page on the left. Choose USD.
It says $5.87 for me at the moment.

Re: Free games - 08/20/17 10:12 PM

Have you ever ordered from them? I'm wondering how much shipping might be.

It says order total $4.69, but it doesn't show any shipping charge.

Re: Free games - 08/20/17 10:44 PM

There's no shipping.
Fireflower is a DRM-free download.
I've ordered several games from them.
They have some games not available from GOG.

For example Black Sails

and Perils of Man

Before I went to the checkout it had said something about shipping charges being calculated at checkout. That's why I asked.

Re: Free games - 08/20/17 11:23 PM

They never charged me shipping.
Maybe what you're seeing is an option of the checkout software they're using. But the final price should not include any shipping charge.

I'm not sure why you're getting a price of $4.69 when it showed me $5.87.

It shows me £4.86 English pounds (GBP) but $5.87 US dollars.

Re: Free games - 08/21/17 12:01 AM

It did show me €3.99, and then $4.99 total when I clicked on US currency.


Now, it shows

Cart Totals
Cart Subtotal $4.69
(ex. VAT)
VAT $1.18
Order Total $5.87

which is fine, if I buy it.

Same price in the end, though it never mentions VAT for me. Maybe it depends on your ISP and what part of the world it thinks you're in.
