Out-of-Print Games

Should the Amazon links with the LucasArts Archive Packs 1 & 3 and the LucasArts Classic Adventures remain? They are out-of-print and do not really fit in with the page, compared to the CDAccess ones which have stocked up on them. -Clone2727 12:03, 27 November 2007 (CET)

Same goes for most of the games from Lucasarts. Have a look at the other links, and you'll notice that they're all out of print, so I don't think they should be removed, otherwise there's no point in having a Lucasarts section --Md5 12:11, 27 November 2007 (CET)
We should only provide direct links to buy games, that are still available for sale. If you find companies have run out of stock, then remove the links in future. I expanded the section for out of print games, with warning about common issues when using eBay/GTZ. --Kirben 14:14, 27 November 2007 (CET)

Defunct Store Links

All the "The Adventure Shop" links now redirect to gamesplanet store front. It seems that this subsection of the store got shut down and those adventure games are no longer available on the gamesplanet store. Do we remove the pertinent game entries? Also CDAccess.com seems to be currently in trouble; all the links are defunct and the main store page mentions the store being offline at least till July 4th 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis -- Praetorian (talk) 07:35, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
