I just checked on  Interplay's web site and they still list it @$9.95. They also show SFC1 and EAW as still available as well.

Thank you Mr. Ferrell

Glad to have your answer, if somewhat belatedly.

I am saddened by you decisioin also but it is your right.  I would have liked more explanation esp about Max's banning,  but again that is your choice.

Not to drag this up, but, since they were never un-banned, here is the explanation on why they were.

 From the Old Forums

Dave, thanks for at least giving an explanation, that's the least we could have asked for.

Good luck with whatever you guys have planned, and thanks for the great games.

i have seen OP in these stores in the bargin bins in the last week here in Miami, Florida.. Maybe the stores like these near you may have them.. have a whirl in the phone book and call them up..

also check out Amazon.com , they generally have New and Used software and the last time i checked, they had all 4 SFC titles in stock... but that was 3 months ago.

hope that this helps

Thanks, got it at Gamestop for $9.99

Erik, anyone at Taldren;  do you recognize the rift thats forming between SFC2 and SFC3?  Recent events, not related to this banning, created a schism between the SFC2 and 3 communities at the very least on the sfc2.net forums.   Stuff like this; with most all of the DV2 community rallying around a cause, only further proves to many players of SFC2's dynaverse that Taldren truely does not support that game anymore.  That the small business that we could always trust for support and level headedness  appears to be gone; left to join the larger faceless developement houses which deal with their community in a clumsy, hands off manner.

  Right, sorry, but I'm going to have to say this.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, YOU DAFT FOOL??? Just because taldren sticks to their guns on an issue doesn't mean that they've gone a microsoft big-evil corperate and have utterly abandoned a game. I means that they don't want those three individuals posting. That's ALL. I'm sure dave would tell you that Taldren was and still is very proud of SFCII.

You ignorant, pompous, self-absorbed, arrogant, pathetic, single-minded, bloody-headed LOSER. Get this through your head! Taldren doesn't hate its players. Taldren is NOT incompetant. Taldren can do what they please on these forums, and they are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT to do it. This DOES NOT MAKE THEM STUPID, RUDE, INSENSITIVE, OR ALIENATED FROM THE GAMER. It makes them resolute, maybe even adamant. Not bad qualities, I would say.

Quit freaking out at Taldren. They make my absolute favorite video game series, and I think others here would say the same. They make damned fine games, and we're sick and tired of a few whiners coming on here and telling them that they can't write.

I mean come ON! I've been on this forum all of a month, and almost 2/3 of all posts I've seen have been anti-taldren! I know that I've engaged in it a bit myself, but I always, always added 'just kidding, taldren is great' to my post. Grow up! We purchased the game. Taldren is under absolutely NO legal constraint to patch it. They could claim its meant to be this way. They're working for OUR benefit alone. Patching will not bring them money! So SHUT UP about how much taldren has sold out, because the only thing they've sold out is their own bank accounts, to help US.

Really, I am sorry to yell like that, but COME ON people. GROW UP.

The fact that in your 1 month 2/3rds of the post have been "Anti-Taldren" might also imply that a different technique for customer relations might be worth Taldren's consideration?  

BTW thats a lot of name-calling bud.

[Alexander1701]

  Is it really? I've seen less used against taldren. And they're here at WORK. The people to whom that comment was addressed just show up because they want to.

Yeah, I guess it is name-calling. But at least I didn't swear TOO much. And I am not anti-reinstatement. I'm Pro-Taldren.

Weeee!!!  Now let's see that spiffy little shotgun blast of a post, again. This time in slow-mo and in a more eye-catching color!

Ah yes, another product of whimsical free speech in all its verbal glory....

Sorry if this rendition was insulting, but the above was insulting to me....so we're even now.

Good advice you should take it
Also as your such a fan you may want to go here and add your name
 http://208.57.228.4/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB1&Number=16334&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

You will also note that some of the people in that thread  have also been knocking taldren of late heres an off the wall idea for you maybe we like the games too
On a final note (and if I may quote you) You ignorant, pompous, self-absorbed, arrogant, pathetic, single-minded, bloody-headed LOSER now realy you should not chuck stones in glass houses

66%? Hmmm, posted by a whopping total of .05% percent of the forum population. That's 66% percent of the posts posted by .05% of the forum population--kind of supports Alexander's supposition, doncha think?

I guess by this reason 99.05% of the forum population was only willing to put up token disagreement to those .05%... guess they didn't feel differently or strongly different to it  

Never said he was wrong Toasty, just that Taldren might want to consider a different technique for customer relations, and that he might want to consider watching the name calling that has been known to result in banning.

But  I don't want to start a new "crusade", so I will let it drop here unless I see another post of that nature.  

PS I don't consider myself "Anti-Taldren", I love SFC2, it was the best game I have ever owned.  I also consider myself pro-USA but this doesn't mean I won't write to my congressman if something bugs me.

Huh?

What kind of reasonable support (or even unreasonable) aren't we giving EAW?

Confused,

Have to go with Taldren on this one.  The simple fact that they are continuing to provide a mechanism by which the games can be patched (and that patches continue to come out for them) demonstrates that they are willing to support the games (and their customers) long after most game companies would have given up.

This is particularly true when you consider that it was Interplay's responsibility (as the publisher) to provide support for them - not Taldren's as the developer.  Most development houses would simply refer you to the publisher for support - Taldren took over support for the games when it became apparent that Interplay had neither the desire nor intent to support them.

[KATChuutRitt]

Missed that one earlier,

I also see no lack of support on Dyna 2 by Taldren either.  

If anyone has any evidence to the contrary, I would like to see it.
