Best way to obtain H3:SoD

Unread postby McJeff » 20 Jul 2008, 15:53

I never bought Shadow of Death for some reason back when 3DO was still in business. Now that it's done of course I can't find the game. It's not even on Ebay.

You will need to get your hands over Complete version. Don't worry it's cheap. ;)

I did some quick searching accross the web and found out that the stand-alone expansion pack is available at amazon.com both new&used. Currently, the Shadow of Death is one of the get-it-half-the-price items in Amazon's own web shop as it lists the price there as 19,99 USD. If you're looking for even better deal than that, there's a list of sellers offering the game from 7,99 USD.

I hope this bit of information was of help to you.

Hmm, it has cost 200 crowns here, which meant 8$.

Heh, nowadays after dollar fall it would be 13.5$, which means still 200 crowns. Life is so crazy. :devious:

If that will hold for longer time, I will surely use it and buy GalCivII. A shelf product in my case (really not having time for playing games somewhat now.)

I remember seeing the Shadow of Death with a price tag 199,90 FIM, but the year was 2000 or 2001 so the value isn't the same anymore even if the Euro had not been introduced. 200 FIM would translate as 250 FIM today, which equals 42 €. As for me, I still continue my wild goose chase with that elusive
Clash of the Dragons...

(and yes, the US dollar will continue its downward spiral)

Well, in Holland the Heroes 3 Complete set is €9.99, and also the Heroes 4 Complete for the same price. I bought the last mentioned cause i only had Heroes 4 without expansion.

Here should be set of both, somewhat (in old dolar value) around 12.99$ for h3+h4 complete.

Now, what I found funny is, that H3 cost almost exactly as would my normal lunch. :-D

Indeed, that's a sweet deal. There's probably no doc included but at that price who cares.

I feel dumb... don't know why I never checked Amazon. I guess because it hasn't been in stores for years and wasn't on ebay, so I never thought Amazon would have it in stock.

Now I just wait for it to get here.
