Just games.
The price of most of the games I chose is what Amstrad cassettes cost when I was a kid! :blink: If I had a friend in the UK I'd ask him or her this favour; but then I thought, well I've come to know some nice people over there at Ab, so why not.
You see, when I was a kid I couldn't build a PC games collection. Now that I have my own money I don't play much but I'd still like to have some few titles that are essential for my taste and be able to play them once in a while. I've spent hours playing some of these at my friends' and others I haven't ever tried them but I know they're good. So it's a one-time purchase to minimally stock my very sad self. To acquire further games in the future I'd resort to normally available stores. But from those buying this mini-collection now wouldn't be an option, too expenive. The games I want can be bought in this store for less than half of what I've donated to Abandonia! Only one of them would be more expensive in other stores I've seen including of course the shops over here, than the whole lot from this site.

It can't be such a good site if the delivery and credit card adresses have to be the same. Any decent online shop will give you the option to deliver to another adress...[/b]

I of course googled for the site in case there was something wrong about it. I only found normal reviews and all of the reviewers had got the stuff they had paid for, and there had been support available when necessary. Most reviewers agreed in the pros and cons of the site. Pros: prices you can't beat; cons: slow to deliver in comparison to other on-line stores (I don't care about this and it's understandable considering their profit margin). Anyway this is the site:
