I really need The Moment of Silence, Black Mirror and Dark Fall boxed. I've made a list of games I wanted to buy ages ago and now is the time!

Also the Nancy Drew games, are they worth checking out?

I'm not entirely sure what comments you want, but I'll try to reply :crazy:...

You live in the UK, and I assume you're after UK versions (if you mean boxed as in a cardboard box US version, then I can't help). For The Moment of Silence try Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002ISL4W/qid=1122844626/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-5552474-8958266) - there's a seller offering a new version for £13.99 at the moment (Play.com seems to have raised its prices on this game back to £17.99).

Ditto for The Black Mirror (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002242LE/qid=1122844694/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_10_1/202-5552474-8958266) and Dark Fall (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/202-5552474-8958266) (the latter is also fairly cheap at Play.com (http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=search&searchtype=allproducts&searchstring=dark+fall&page=search&Go.x=0&Go.y=0)).

As for the Nancy Drew games, I'm sitting on a couple that I keep meaning to try (I won them), but the reviews seem positive.

Oh...I've been to those sites. ;(

Dvdboxoffice.com has one of those games I think [boxed] :)

I ordered Runaway from there a while ago. I think they ship after 4-5 days.
