I ordered the game from Dave at Interact. He got it on the 17th, I have it in my hand now, even before it's ready for download in the US, I believe! (Well, not actually in my hand. My typing is bad enough without that.)
I don't know whether to save it for my day off and savor the anticipation or dive in and play, but I do know the price difference is worth it just to have the game on disc. This is going to be a keeper.
Thank you so much, Dave, for the fast service!
Gil.

traveler, it's really a long game try not to use the walkthrough. Really a great game. I played it about 3 weeks ago without a wt and really enjoyed it. You really have to do a lot of searching. it took me about 4 days on and off. You can save anywhere. Richard

I'll try, Richard, but I don't guarantee I won't be scrambling to find the walkthrough you're writing. You are writing one, aren't you? <g>
Seriously, I loved the demo and if that and your comments are anything to go by, it's bound to be a great game.

I just finished the game. It arrived in the mail yesterday, and I started playing it. I finished it this afternoon when I got home from work. Of course, yesterday was my day off, so I had quite a bit of playing time then. This was a game I absolutely could not put down. Oh, and I never needed a walkthrough for it. Excellent game. Definitely going on my list of recommended games when it comes up next year.

I'm playing and on chapter 4. I've had to use a w/t a few times, but it seems that I usually do. The voices are excellent, the graphics superb, as well as the story. I can't remember when I've enjoyed a game this much for a long time. I think this is a Class A game!!! Teddo

Ya know, all this conversation is somewhat amusing but I would greatly appreciate an answer to a simple question. Where am I supposed to buy this game?

As noted above I bought mine from England before Dave had it listed. It only took four days to get it and I am on the left coast. Still have not played it, next on my list. But as Mad said they ship to the US. This one cost 22.94 pounds or $35.88 US Delivered. For future reference these guys will ship to US Game Co UK

I've just finished Lost Horizon and Richard was right, it is terrific! And yes, it can be done without a walkthrough, though without his encouragement I'm not sure I'd have kept plugging and done it. <g> Not that I didn't think about it as I wandered around in the caves of Shambala for hours, wondering if I would ever find the pieces of the dragon amulet and save the world! (Not sure if that's really a spoiler but just to be on the safe side....) Anyway, I played the bonus game afterward, part of the opening of Lost Horizon as it was originally conceived, and it sure did bring home how much work went into making the finished product. Deep Silver did a great job, they have a real winner here and I wouldn't mind at all seeing more of Fenton Paddock! Gil.

Traveler, I loved the bonus section. In fact, it made me a little sad we didn't get to play Kim more. Don't get me wrong, I love the game as it is. I enjoyed it more than the Secret Files games. It's just that with those games, one thing that was fun about them were the sections where Nina and Max worked as a team. I would like to have seen more of that implemented in this game. Even so, excellent game. And I'm looking forward to Secret Files 3. It seems their games just keep getting better.

Venus, it would be great to have a separate thread on the game in order to discuss what we liked, didn't like or thought could be improved about Lost Horizon but that will have to wait, I think, until we won't be tossing spoilers all over the place. <g>
