If you have a Big! Lots store near you, you might want to check out their game section. I saw 12 different games there from The Adventure Company, all for $6.00 each. There were only one or two copies of each game -- but if there are older TAC adventures you'd like to pick up, and it's easy to get to Big! Lots, it might be worth your while.

Thanks Becky...sounds like a great time to BAAG some goodies.

Becky, can you ask them to start a UK branch, please ? At USA prices of course ...

Thanks Becky. Our Big Lots is kinda small and they don't often have a good selection, BUT, every once in awhile I'll find something like "Law and Order Dead on the Money" or "Divine Divinity". I think I might sneak over there today and see if I can luck out.

Thanks!

Never been there, but I just searched & discovered we have one close by. Thanks for the heads up, Becky! Wouldn't ever have thought of going there for game-hunting.

Great tip! I'll be checking my local store.

I may have to check it out. I have a Big Lots down the street.

I stopped by Big Lots today. No TAC games, but they did have two shrinkwrapped boxed copies of Shadow of Destiny for only $4.00 each! If I didn't already own the game (both boxed and on GameTap), I'd be all over it. But since I do, I just left the two copies there for someone else to stumble upon. It really is a steal. And I can't believe the boxes were still shrinkwrapped.

I hope the TAC games will show up at more than the Long Island store!

For anyone who doesn't shop there much -- the game section at Big! Lots is not very big -- if you can't find it, just ask a clerk where it's located.

Legolas you could have bought one and traded it on the Traders thread.

^ I thought of it, but I've found that Shadow of Destiny really has no value anymore. I've seen people try to sell the game online for only a few dollars, but really no one wants it (this is even more true now that Shadow of Destiny is on GameTap).

They have several of the TAC games at the Big Lots in Longwood and the one in Sanford FL. I already have the games. They get alot of good games at both these stores and have several copies of each. I always check their games when I shop there.

I live sort of near there (I'm in the UCF area). Too bad my Big Lots doesn't have TAC games. BUT Walmart and Target often have $10 jewelcase adventure games.

Thanks! I'll try our Big Lots right here in West Mifflin, next time I go out that way to the mall in probably 2 weeks or so.

Thanks Becky- never would have thought!
I went in this morning and got Law and Order Triple pack, Atlantis Evolution. Sentinel and Mafia to add to my Yet to be played.
thanks again- I will now stop bya every now and again.

Having read this thread I took a look at the Big Lots nearby and found Atlantis Evolution, Forever Worlds, and Wanted-A Western Adventure.

Just loaded Atlantis Evolution and landed on the Island and stopped there. Not sure if this is going to be "my" kind of game or not but guess I'll give it a try. Same thing with "Wanted". Sure need to get back into the groove with a new game or two.

Hey BillyBob -- I would persist for awhile with WANTED -- there are a lot of funny gags and lines in the game. The ending sequence with outtakes is hilarious.

There's a walkthrough here by Gamehound that includes a link to a save after the shooting gallery, and a beginning save that loads you up with plenty of carrots so you don't have to keep collecting them.

Becky.....

I will keep what you say in mind. Could use a little comedy. :-)

First, though, I'm going to see how A E works out and hope for the best.

I haven't played AE, but I understand that it becomes more traditionally adventure-like later in the game.

Hi BillyBob,I have played both of those games I enjoyed them both very much,I hope you stick with them or put them aside and go back to them later.You got a great price for them

I am envious.

My local EBGames occasionally will have lots of adventure games on sale for less than $10.00 each. I remembered picking up Myst IV, Atlantis Evolution, lots of Nancy Drew games, and many others. This is one advantage of adventure games over others... easier to get bargain bin games.

went back to pick up a sprinkler hose-- found- Obscure -traitors gate-Realms of Illusion, ultimate adv game pack-Egypt 1 and 2(largest box I ever did see) and Mob.
They also had - curse Eye of Ises, and Amerazone- crime story-- and more-- since I am still catching up on older games this is great
thanks again Becky
