planetscape torment

[Joemonkey]

OK so I had this game a long time ago, and all i can find are CDs 1 and 2 now (after 3 or 4 moves, random stuff getting thrown away, etc....)

I am willing to buy it agian, mainly because around a year or so ago i saw it for $10 bundled with another game in the discount section of wal-mart.

I've been to 2 different wal-marts, best buy, office depot, and i can't find it now!!! google is of no help either... anyone got any ideas?

half.com or ebay for it by itself, or for a $19 bundle with Fallout 2, interplay triple pack

Also, if it's really been that long since you played PST...are sure you had more than two discs to begin with? The game has been sold in both 2 and 4 disc versions.

i'm 95% sure I had the 4 disc version... i got it when it first came out, when did they start selling a 2 disc version? and how the heck does that work anyway, how could they compress 4 cds down to 2?

Best game I've ever played. I still have all the origional disks. I need to back them up to make sure they don't go bad.

I'm not sure, but since the 2 disc version is considered the "budget" edition it probably didn't come out until at least a few months after the original release.

You can easily check which version you have by using the readme file on disc 1. If it says Version 1.1 you have the 2 disc version (which is pre-patched, unlike the 4 disc release). If not you'll have to buy that Interplay Triple Pack.

and how the heck does that work anyway, how could they compress 4 cds down to 2?

New compression technology. Seems like a pretty big leap going from 4 to 2, but then I know nothing about how that stuff works. *shrug* I'm guessing there wasn't much data on the fourth disc anyway...

My 4 disc version which came in the paper fold out case is version 1.0.0 as per the readme file.

Riiight. Like I'd sell my copy.

It's really inexpensive nowadays - maybe you can ebay it?

gogamer.com has it now for $9.90

I went ahead and bought the triple pack. I had owned BG and Fallout 2 in the past, but after beating them I ebayed them, so it's nice to have them back again.

and, i JUST NOW realized that for around 5 years I have been calling it planeTscape torment when it's planescape...
