I've heard so much about this game, and am looking for another Baldur's Gate style RPG to get stuck right into... but I've run into a small problem in trying to obtain a copy of it.

I'm from Melbourne, and I've been to a few local games shops, and haven't managed to find a place which either has it, or can order it in. I guess its pretty old now, so its understandable that it would be out of print.

I haven't looked around seriously yet, but does anyone know any ordering systems for that sort of thing; online or otherwise?

And also, did you enjoy playing Planescape?

Planescape Torment is thé best RPG around. Though not quite as large, I think its better then BGII. Its a bit lower on the action, and alot higher on the dialogue.
As for ordering online, have you tried EBay, or Amazon?

Sylent,

Have you tried Electronics Boutique they have 16 stores in Victoria, they may have some old copies kicking around.

I purchased a copy from the TheGamesWizards in NSW for about $29- last year but I don't think they have any stores in Vic.

However Military Simulations is based in Victoria
http://www.milsims.com.au/
134 Cochranes Road, Moorabbin Vic 3189 Australia
PO Box 1164, Moorabin Vic 3189 Australia
Phone Australia 03 9555 8886 Fax 03 9553 3339

Here it is in their online catalogue:
AD&D PLANESCAPE: Torment. SSI. Set in the city of Sigil, but you can also visit the other planes.You play a scarred, amnesiac immortal in search of his identity. You must discover the secret of your death and rebirth. Your own actions define your character's character, not a character generation screen. Explore Sigil, a vast city of magic and industry. Manage an adventuring party of the strangest allies. This is not a game which you have to play for 20 hours before you can cast spells. You are a power to be reckoned with (as is most everybody else in Sigil!) IBM Requires: Pen 200 MMX, Windows '95, 32mbRAM, 8spCD-ROM, 4mbSVGA. IBM - $33.00

If you do get the game vist http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/Torment/index.htm
for some helpful files and info.

Hi Sylent - I have run into you once or twice before and you always seem pretty friendly. My email is in the profile - write to me and include your address and I will send you my copy. I had lots of fun with it, but there is a growing pile of finished games building up in the computer room and I realise I won't get to replay everything. The postage to Melbourne will be only a buck or two for me, so let me know if you want it.

I went to EB games (I think thats Electronic Boutiques), and the guy there just laughed when I asked if they had it.
I'll shop around a bit more, check out video games heaven and stuff.

Thanks a heap for the offer Davros, and I might take you up on it, but I wouldn't want to trouble you unecessarily, so I'll let you know how I get on.

thanks again.

I actually saw it recently in the bargain section of my local Wal-Mart (USA) for $9.00. I would have picked it up, except I already have it.
I'd check any computer stores in your area that have a pc gaming section and check the bargain bins. Maybe there's a place that has used games in your area.

One thing that makes it a lot to easy is that the game slows down when you cast a powerful spells like cloudkill
