I really want to buy these games boxed. Any US sites that ship to the UK? Adventure company site doesn't ship those games to the UK for some reason. :frusty:

Hey - what was wrong with this thread (http://forums.adventuregamers.com/showthread.php?t=9460)? :P

Black Mirror was published by GMX in the UK, I think. That's probably why TAC won't ship to you. Moment of Silence was published by Digital Jesters and should be available through their online store. (But you probably don't want either of these versions because they're in jewel cases.)

If you have your heart set on boxes, I think eBay is your best bet. Since Black Mirror and Moment of Silence were published by other companies in the UK, there are probably legalities preventing TAC (or retail stores) from shipping them to you.

Fov, nobody was replying though. ;(

I've ordered both Dark Fall games from DVDBoxoffice.com

I think I might check eBay for Moment Of Silence and Black Mirror.

Dannyyou, you ordered Black Mirror from interactcd.com before?

The MOS UK boxed version is (or was) also available in Benelux and Scandinavia. Might be worth a try.

Oh. Small addition for MOS: If you don't want a DVD, but a CD boxed version, then US is indeed your only option.

I have a DVD-ROM drive. Isn't the DVD version of the game better than the CD version?

Someone tell me the auction here, is it the small box version with CD or DVD style casing?

Haven't you checked ebay uk?

At the moment there are 10 Dark Fall games available and 10 copies of TMOS!!
This isn't a one-off either, these games are constantly available on ebay :D

I'm not sure why you're asking about US sites?


:D :D :D :D :D

If it's the version pictured then it's the US CD version. In a cardboard box.

I checked eBay.co.uk for TMoM, only has the DVD style casing, same with Black Mirror. There is one seller though whcih is selling it boxed.

I just ordered the Darkfall games from DVDBoxoffice.com, free shipping.

Most of the UK sites have the game in a DVD style casing. Amazon.com has TMOM and Black Mirror boxed, but they ship games to the U.S. and Canada only. That's why I want to check out U.S. sites instead.

Cool. I emailed the guy he told me it's the 'small box version'.

Aaah! You only want boxed versions - I'm not sure about Dark Fall but TMOS was originally released in the UK as a DVD game in a jewel case :D
I'm not sure why you're bothered about this unless its for some future collectability value?

I know this is important for early games that didn't have a large production run, but with games like like Dark Fall and TMOS, why don't you just buy them in any format you can find so you can play them?
You can search for boxed games at any time, and there's no way any of these games will become unavailable in the next few years :D

Manhunter71 - Most of my games are boxed. Especially the sci fi/horror games. That't why I want this game boxed, too. :devil:

Bought a boxed copy of The Moment Of Silence on eBay. Now I just need a boxed copy of Black Mirror.

Is this what they mean by 'Jewel case'?

That is completely and totally what I meant to say.

Damn fingers not listening to brain. :(

Yes, that's a jewel case. Even though the seller says it's new, you should follow up and make sure there's a box included in the auction, since it doesn't specify. The jewel case would have come inside the box.

I emailed him, he said there's no box.
