Looking for a copy of "The Hidden Below"

[shellshock]

Hi there.

I'm looking for a copy of the game "The Hidden Below" complete with big box. Unfortunately, I don't know where I can look for one. I'm thankful for any advice.

This is going to be difficult. As far as I can judge, this is a very rare game. For several years I wasn't even certain that the full game had ever been released, since there was no info about it anywhere.

Your best bet is probably eBay. You can save a search there and will be notified if anything matching your search criteria turns up.

If you have the time, visit flea markets and specialized exchanges. You could get in contact with some dealers, tell them you are looking for the game and leave them your number.

Finally, you could make a web page about it. I found that people sometimes offered to sell me stuff I wrote about on the web. Explicitly stating that you are looking to buy a copy of the game would probably increase the chances.

First of all, thank you kindly for replying.

Do you know any good dealers? I have already contacted one who hasn't replied yet.

I take it you don't want to write something about The Hidden Below? ;D

I have written about The Hidden Below, in fact, for quite some while the only decent screenshots on the whole web were the ones that I took and posted in 2005. I have never been offered a copy for sale, but I have been offered a few other things.

One thing that could work for you is that while it's hard to find, it's probably a game that's difficult to sell as well. Not many people know it, not many people will be looking for it.

I was thinking mainly of local dealers, in your area. For Internet dealers, a good way to find them is again eBay.

Unfortunately, there are only few dealers in my area which I've already checked - most of them didn't even know what MS-DOS is when I asked them. I've searched eBay as well and even asked some dealers there - none of them have one.

I have this game if anyone is still looking for it.
