How lucky you guys are! At least you have the chance to finally get the game you search at ebay one day, but here in germany, it's really almost impossible to get one of these "special packages".
Why? Because either the were never "officially" released in germany or only for a short time and only little numbers of them.
That's because in the early 90s it was normal that games were released only in english or that the german versions were released very much later, so that most gamers were not willing to wait and bought the english versions.
But since 95/96, almost all games are released in german almost at the same time they are released in english, and therefore a "special package" that is only released in english is not expected to be sold very often in germany.
And if you look closely you will see that there is almost no auction of these "special packages" where the seller does not live in north america and therefore don't accept bids from germany! Not that I don't understand that, but it leaves me almost hopeless!
For example, I never heard that Kilrathi Saga exists until january 98, when I was on a road trip for my company and "just for fun" went into a game shop in that city and found it there! Of course I bought it immediately!
And I had to travel through entire germany (OK, actually there is no "big trip" possible in germany compared to the US) for my company that whole year, and I never saw it again!
So, if anyone of you locates a shop/auction where germans can purchase P2 deluxe edition (the one that requires win9x!), PLEASE let me know!
