Sargon V: World Class Chess and Complete Chess System Tal

Post by jarek »

Hello,

I wanted to to purchase this oldie but it seems that version 5 is more difficult to obtain than 4 or 3.
Do you know why?
I would assume, the newer game, the easier it is to get it (with exceptions :))

Question to those of you, who have it in your collections:
was there a CD version or only 3,5" FDD?

I also cannot find Complete Chess System Tal.
Any ideas where I could look for it? (something more specific than just "Google" please :))

thanks!
Jarek

P.S. Yes, I know I can probably get this software from abandoware sites but I would prefer to have the originals.

In abandonware programs are originals...

mclane, Ferndando,
thank you for answers.
Although I would prefer a boxed version, still your answers are very helpful!

Maybe you could also give me a tip how to find "Power Chess 2.0" by Sierra, English version?

Power Chess and Power Chess 98 are quity easy to find but not this one.
Anyone could help me please? :)
