I recently went to buy a PC copy for my nephew and could not find it! I looked at CompUSA, Best Buy and MicroWarehouse. Nadah. Nothing. Zip. I was told that I could not even special order it! The Hasbro/Infogames site is DRT (Dead Rite Thar!) and is no help.

Anyone know who still sells MGE for PC these days? This has really surprized me!

Mac, Shaka, all others interested, Microprose claim to have it available at www.microprose.com ...let me know how you get on, I may have a (Canadian i.e. more expensive) source for you. Good luck!

A number of people have had success finding Fantastic Worlds on eBay. I imagine you could find MGE there too.

No help. The "MicroProse" now Infogames link directs you to EBGames.com which sells neither PC nor Mac versions of MGE. They do sell ToT and CtP for PC. The link to MacSoft from the Infogames page does the same thing. It's hard to imagine MacSoft making back there development money form the port when no one sells it. Although if you go directly to MacSoft.com you can find an 800 number in addition to the EB Games link. Maybe one could order in that way.

Sort of discourging.

Just the other week I saw MGE as part of a Strategic 3-pack of games at Target. I think it sold for 19.99 on sale for 14.99. I also recently found ToT at Walmart for $4.95!!! Target also sells CivII for 10.00.
