Didn't work for me... error while downloading.

My favorite price: FREE!

I'm downloading it now. Thanks for the heads up, Fender!

[Fender_178]

no problem. I found this out on an abandonware site that I frequently visit.

[Jules]

Score! Thanks, Fender!

Craaaaap. My computer was in the shop.

I managed to snag Sam & Max Episode One from Season Two since I already own TMI. Awesome.

[Rath Darkblade]

Aw, I missed it.

Is there a way I can buy the series on disc, so that I can put it on the shelf with the rest of my Monkey Island CDs/DVDs?

[MusicallyInspired]

Yes. You buy the whole series now and get each chapter of the game as they're completed and released. Then after they're all released (I imagine there'd be a certain amount of time) you can get a free DVD case with all the chapters on disc and possibly (usually, like they're other series of games) an extra disc with bonus content for just the price of shipping to your area. Pretty good deal.

If you were one of the lucky ones who preordered you get a special DVD slip cover artwork painted by Steve Purcell along with the regular artwork.

I'm not sure about the price of shipping - my area is south-eastern Australia!

I guess I must have phrased the question badly. I'll rephrase... is there any way that the game will be released to game stores at all? (When it's finished, or at any other time?)

Thanks.

I'm guessing it probably will be released in stores at some point, just no telling when

I would guess that they will do like they did with Sam & Max and do a release on DVD when Season One is complete.

Thankfully, I managed to get the free Monkey Island download and I'm looking forward to playing it... after I finish some of the other games I'm playing. It's unusual for me to have so many games on the go at once. Normally I'm a one game person.
