Bargain?

Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth

Planescape Torment

both for £7 - £8

good deal you reckon? Should i buy?

Bearing in mind it is probably the budget version of PT and i have played and completed it once a loonnng time ago. But i'm sort of collecting older rpgs at the moment.

update:

apparently... Planescape Torment is the original boxed version.. :eek:

. (!!) Which got me a little excited

But i suspect they just mean it is an original boxed BUDGET version....maybes......

I would get it

PT gets me seriously nostalgic, one of the best games ever made

I payed £31 for my orginal Planescape Torment a few months ago and there was a few at the same price at the time so if it's orig with all goodies then yes very cheap.

Allso great game i have mine running on an old rig with crt monitor for full effect

> real reason is because looks kinda bad on 22 inch.

Yes also no need to run in compatibility mode if i remember correctly,could be wrong i will check later but any how will run fine on xp.

Planescape Torment seems to go for more than a tenner on the bay so i think you are getting a good price there.

I've not played Planetscape Torment (I know, shame on me) but Call Of Cthulhu is genius. Buy it!

It WAS the big box version.... i turned up at the meeting place and there was a few dudes hanging around but i was thinking how will i recognize them?

perhaps by the BIG box of Planescape Torment they are holding in their hand ehh

mint condition all the manuals etc. I tried my best to hide my glee from the guy i was buying it from.. though i felt a little bit guilty so i gave him a tenner for both.
