I think its supposed to be available there on April 22 or so. Did you get part 2 from Revelation as you live in the UK? >>> I actually ordered one of the Tex Murphy games from Canada.

Or was it >>Customs duty or tax? The only reason I can think of that you would have to >>pay would be if you owed money to the UK Customs if the value was over >>your Customs exemption.

Thats more than we get. you said it was dirt cheap - which to me means around $10.00 >:) You can download them cheap from Gog cheap. > I dont bother buying from abroad any more. Don't even buy that many games > unless > they are bargain bin. There hasn't been any adventure games to buy for several years anyway, unless you play other games -PG, combat, etc. BTW, Ebay has a fairly new Global shipping program - to most countries in the world, where you can buy a lot of products which can be shipped from the U.S. the shipping is high but I bought a box set of DVD's recently on the GSP and the total cost even with high shipping cost is still a lot less than I would pay for the same box set at Amazon.com or Amazon.ca or anywhere else where I am.
