I'm looking for reliable, trustworthy sources of the LucasArts Classics line. Purple spined copies of most of the post-Monkey Island 2 classics.

I currently have:
Escape from Monkey Island
Sam and Max: Hit the Road
The Dig (needs replacing)

I am looking to drop my pants, sell my house, provide benefaction for life for any other LucasArts Classics adventure game title (except for Star Wars ones, if they exist). I am especially hunting for Grim Fandango.

Being in the UK, I need the UK versions.

Exactly what I'm looking for are copies being sold online from reliable sources. The copy of Sam and Max that I found on Amazon is the only legit looking copy of an LA Classic I've seen in a while and my Google/ebay/amazon-fu is failing me in looking for others.

So please help!

Wish I could help, mate. All I know is that Steam carries some of those. Not sure if they carry them in your area, or if you even want to touch Steam. edit: eh, ignore me. You mean boxed copies. I long since gave up on getting boxed copies of games that old/rare/popular. Best of luck.

I did some hunting for LA boxed games about a year ago but since your discounting some of the best (star wars) im gonna be an ass. :-)

I remember them, they were in nearly every store and then all of a sudden disappeared. I was fortunate to be working at the time so picked up all I could namely Escape, Curse, The Dig, Grim Fandango, X-Wing Alliance, Full Throttle and Sam & Max. I don't know if that's all the games they released but that's all I could find.

I would dearly love to play The Dig and Grim Fandango. I used to have the demo for both, they came with an ancient Mac set of uh...Star Wars Rebel Assault 1 & 2, and some others. I wish I could remember what they were. Heck, I wish I still had them!

I still have my copies of X-wing, Tie Fighter, and X-wing vs. Tie-Fighter. Best flight sims ever.

I managed to find The Dig in HMV a couple of years ago, for £4.

The others are far more difficult though, I got Curse of Monkey Island from ebay, but never looked for Escape.

Second hand is your best bet, so I'd suggest second-hand electronics shops, of which there's a good one in Newcastle (CEX) though their PC games selection is often poor these days, I have found the odd bargain.

I have a load of PC games I'm going to clear out, probably at the end of this month because they're not in my current location.

I have The Dig, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Sam and Max Hit The Road, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (the first four games came in a box so don't have barcodes...can't remember if I still have flimsy box).

I really want to tell you to just download the games if you really want to play them, but I understand the urge to collect physical copies of things. Just don't spend outrageous amounts of money doing so...

If you can't rock back and forth hugging it, drooling, and babbling ecstatically about the private lives of each of the developers and the entire development history of the game, the franchise, and all the games that inspired it or were inspired by it, it's not worth owning. That's why all GOG's should be placed on CD's as soon as possible.

Well I just picked up Curse for £12 on eBay. Hoping it's a good copy because I did it as a guest buyer.

I keep looking at CEX, in fact, a friend of mine picked up Grim Fandango there for £6 and he refuses to sell it to me. Bastard...

CEX is probably your best option. Try their mail order.

That was going to be what I said

I was lucky enough to get a pristine copy of Full throttle from a bookstore in Burbank, Ca. Whoever owned this really took excellent care of it. I picked it for $5.

Mate have you checked this? : link

Used but still better than nothing... and you ll have extra copies of S&M and Dig for your friends! I think I have a legit extra copy of Grim Fandago though...
