The book Of Unwitten Tales

Hi everyone

Can anyone tell me if the book of unwritten tales is a download
Only from a small disk that can be purchased from Ebay.
I am not to keen about downloading from the internet
If downloading the game from a small disk provided by
Ebay is the only option to get the game I would rather get the
game from a GB member if they have it

thank you

Your description is confusing because you mention "downloading" from a disc. You can copy files from a disc or install from a disc but you "download" from the Internet. Also what do you mean by a "small" disk. I'm not aware of any PC games distributed on mini CD

Is there a particular eBay auction you're looking at?

There was a version of the first Book of Unwritten Tales game from around 2009 that was a physical release. I don't know about Book of Unwritten Tales 2. Mobygames only mentions a German physical release of Book 2.

The trouble with a lot of current "physical" releases is that they're little more than a Steam code in a box and the game either needs Steam activation or an entire download from Steam. Beware of pictures on eBay that are just "representations" and not the actual thing being sold.

I believe The Book of Unwritten Tales is only available as a download from Steam, GOG, King Art and a couple of other outlets.

I originally bought the game on a disk. You may be able to find the disc version for sale on places like Ebay etc. If you are looking for a disk game for sale, you should post in the Gameboomers Trading Post forum. If you find a disk game for sale, you wouldn't have to download it, just install it from the disk.

If it's an older disc, yes. But if it's a modern one, it may only include a Steam downloader and not the game. You need to find someone with that particular version and check whether it actually contains the game or not.

Thanks Jenny and Draclvr.

I will move this thread to Discussion forum.

I was checking for a friend last fall and the only disks I could find were used original disks with the full game. Otherwise the game could only be purchased through download only. But it's definitely best to be sure a disk contains the actual game and not just a Steam downloader key.

I saw an original CD version on Ebay USA and two on Ebay UK. So there are still some around

Hi Jenny

I believe you are right I will probably have to go to the GB trading
post to find the original game if there is still 1 available.
Thanks for all the info

If no one here has it for sale, Mad said she found one for sale at Ebay just above your post.

Hi Bluto,

I just checked and both one and two are available on DVD from Amazon.com. They also sell them as downloads. I have all three Book of Unwritten Tales adventures on DVD. That includes Critter Chronicles.

Mr. Bill

Bluto, I asked the question at Amazon and got several answers saying this was the full game on DVD, not a Steam key DVD.

Thanks so much Drac!

They are definitely not steam based DVDs. I would be very unhappy if they were and I've played both.

Cheers,

Mr. Bill

Hi Draclvr

Do you know of any of the Game Boomer who might have the the older
Original disk game for trade or sale.

Thank You

Bluto

Bluto, you have that posted in Trading Post. Please keep this forum for game discussions only.

The Original is still available for $19.99 at Amazon.com (all 3 are).

Bill

As mrbill says, the ones available at Amazon are the original disks. I asked the question there and that is what the seller said. It's well worth the price!
