I can't believe I found a brand new copy of JJR 2 for sale...
 

I was out today, shopping around in one of the many Spinneys supermarket outlets, when I stumbled upon the Audio/Video section. I saw they were selling some old games there at discounted prices. And sure enough, I found a brand new copy of JJR 2 + The Secret Files for $25 (European version - Not the KC Avalon release). Firstly, I was shocked it could have survived for 8 years without being bought or damaged or something. And secondly, the price kinda freaked me out too. It should have been much less, espicially now that it's been released for so long. Spinney's can be a bunch of idiots sometimes when it comes to pricing games (in the past, I've seen them selling games for $50 that where avalible at other places for $10).

Anyway, I was sort of in a dilema... Up until today, I havn't owned a legit copy of JJR 2. I downloaded it off Limewire or BitTorrent. I'm not a big fan of piracy, but when you honestly can't find a game avalible in stores anymore, whatcha gonna do? (I did the same thing with Worms Armegeddon when I couldn't find it in stores). So, I just bought it. Best $25 I've ever spent.

That's a great romance story. :lol: I hope you enjoy the carrot smell inside the box and the funky manuals. :p

Enjoy and have fun. ;)

That reminds me of how I found Holiday Hare '98 years after it came out. (2001? Something like that...) I went into a London Drugs and there was a brand new copy of it (incidentally, it had an AOL demo on the same disc...did all HH98 discs have that?) sitting on the shelf. Needless to say, I bought it. Never seen it there since.

Wow. Theres still brand new copies out there.

Ah, stories of legend. :) Awesome find!

No one ever did post pictures of that manual did they.

Nice find, if only we all could have such luck.

There are actually legit websites where you can pay over the internet and download WA; that's how I got it. Or you can do the honesty thing and just send the publishers 20 dollars and a note that says "I pirated your game and felt guilty".

For future reference, the acronym is JJ, not JJR.

Well, I don't know why you would want pics of the manual, but I have a high-res Epson scanner, so I can scan the whole thing and post it if you want. But seriously, I don't see why...

Please scan it, it's helpful for those who have lost their manual and would like to read it for nostalgia purposes.(That or to see a manual different from theirs)

JJR is perfectly fine, and it's called an initialism or, more generally, an abbreviation. >OOOOO

Reason 1. Some people have a 56k modem on this forum. Like me :(
