    Im having a huge problem. Ive uninstalled BG, because I thought i was having an internal error. But no, after opening my cd drive I found the true culprit of my problems. My cd itself. It seems to have been cracked. I cant discern why, however this leaves me in a dillema.

    One one hand I could go buy a new BG set. But I really dont want to spend that much money. I already have 3 working CD's. On the other hand, if I could find someone whos selling individual cds I would gladly buy one. Perhaps though, I should send black isle and email.

    Finally if its possible I could try to dload the entirety of the CD from the internet onto my computer. This is my most unsavory option, but also my best one.

    However perhaps black isle can help, what do you people think?

    Interplay will replace scratched and broken discs for a nominal fee, I believe. Check the Interplay site.

    I have the same problem. Of course in my case, my wife smashed the disk in a berzerker rage: (Disk, meet my hammer.... HAMMER, MEET DISK)

    Anyways my lawyer is reviewing the prenup, and I emailed eric@macplay. He hasn't gotten back yet, (that was today) but I'm hoping it'll be about $20 US plus s+h.

    That happend to me and I went out and bought "The Collection" (which includes ToB) for 30 bucks. 30 bucks aint bad for a game with 6 discs (there are 6 in The Collection).

    Yes, but I don't think ToB is out for Mac, yet. Or it just came out.

    Besides, new games in Canada are more like 80 bucks CDN (Which is like 50 bucks US)

    Assuming that Strifestrike has only installed SofA, enough references to the expansion please.
