I've tried the shops and the like. My copy of the original Monkey Island has broken, and I've never played Monkey Island II. Anyone got any tips on where to get copies of these? I really would like to get these games, and I don't expect anybody on this newsgroup to just upload their copies without question. But if anyone can help me, please do. I really want to play MI 2 - everyone seems to rate it so well and I've never seen it. Arghh.

I would upload it, but for 3 reasons I won't: 1)It's illegal, even though you can't buy it 2)It is around 7/8Mb large 3)This is NOT a BINARIES newsgroup I might be persuaded to mail you a copy, but can your mailbox take that sort of size? Don't think I can split it..... The Pacifist

You can get a replacement copy of Monkey Island 1 by sending your original disks back to LucasArts (as proof of purchase) and the small amount of money detailed in the manual. Alternatively, you can buy it all over again at http://www.cdshareware.com (for $15, and they do accept overseas orders). Sorry, but I don't know where you can get Monkey Island 2 on its own. However, many shops still stock the compilation pack featuring Monkey Island 1 + 2 (try PC World). ----------- Freeman wrote in message <75c9ok$8om$1...@news7.svr.pol.co.uk>... >I've tried the shops and the like.

You can buy most of LucasGames from www.lucasarts.com. I just call them once in a while and get a catalog. --

I got mine from there aswell. I'd hardly call �10 for Monkey Island 1 and 2 on cd-rom extortionate. They kick the ass of most modern adventure games. If you live in the UK look for them on White Label.

Good idea :) Why are most of the population of this newsgroup Freeserve users, anyway? Is this one of the first news servers in the world to carry this newsgroup?

Good idea :) Not true i'm afraid - Dixons plc. only fronts Freeserve. The ISP is solely run by Planet On-line - Energis (a telco) own Freeserve. > Why are most of the population of this newsgroup Freeserve users, anyway?
