That 1 at amazon doesn't count... I'm prety sure it's second hand, but those at CDAccess are a problem. The box has a whole new cover - I've the old original - first CD edition, that's old enough but definetly doesn't run under XP like they claim it does, so they brushed it up and put it in stores again.* :not_ok:
I don't think the one Amazon itself is selling is a second hand one, actually. However, it's just one copy so it doesn't really mean anything when the talk is about the abandonware status.

The CDAccess one; nothing wrong with fixing a game to work on newer operating systems. It makes the old classics available for a wider audience, and that's just nice.

Haven't seen the DOS version for sale anywhere, though.. that might be the hole Abandonia could exploit, if wanted.

EDIT: By the way, as an FMV game it might be a bit too big for Abandonia.. and ripping those is pointless.
