1) Find it... get yourself a nice detective outfit and a magnifying glass.
2) Copy the cd from a friend
3) Buy the game again
4) Download the iso from a warez site (It'ss illegal, but since you purchase the game is ok I guess)
And then ye must drink grog with us! GROG!! GROG!! GROG!! GROG!!
I can only hear chickens in here... GROGGROGGROGGROGGROG
Normal downloading may be illegal depending on protection (DMCA may apply), local laws and/or whether a judge sees you supporting this illegal distribution.
In summary: Don't go there.
LucasArts has a disc exchange service you can use, but since this is a pretty old game you're likely to find it for less in a local bargain bin.
I had to do that with Escape because disc 1 snapped in half when I tried to get it out of the case!!
That's one solution, but I see no reason to buy an overpriced version on ebay when you've already bought one copy. Personally, I've gotten into the habit of backing up my cds by creating an iso on my hard drive. That way I never have to worry about the actual cd once it's been copied.
Contact LucasArts, they're usually very helpful to their customers.
I'm pretty sure you can install it without the second disc. I reinstalled it recently, and I don't remember the game asking for the second disc until I completed part II.
...If you live in the US!! As far as I know we still can't order anything from their store in the UK:mad:
It's illegal in the UK too! ¬_¬ and besides... these games are a lot easier to get hold of in the UK, just check ebay. They're not even at ridiculous prices!
I have the same problem like britt: can't find my copy. On the other hand, I only owned the German version so I will have to buy the English version anyway.
Now how to get the English version in Germany for a reasonable price? I don't wanna pay 20 Euros or more just for the shipping.
Does anyone know if there's a place where you can LEGALLY download CoMI?
I'm not sure, I think it's a grey area... with ROMs and such they're considered a 'backup' of what you already own (or you are supposed to delete it within 24 hours) so isn't that the same with disc images?
The 24 hours rule is an urban legend. I'm not sure why they even write that. Publishing something without permission is illegal in most countries under most circumstances.
I meant LucasArts are helpful to their customers if you live in the US.. Being in the UK we're not allowed to buy anything from their store. Although this may have changed in recent years I'll have to try it again
They're still usually helpful regardless of where you live. "ROMS" are only considered a back-up if you copy the file yourself, and you have the legal right to do so (either a specific exemption in your local copyright law, or you have written authorization from the copyright holder to do so) ... "delete within 24 hours" is a bunch of rubbish that WAREZ sites put on their pages, it doesn't actually mean anything.
In *most* countries there are no specific legal provisions allowing for software back-ups without prior authorization by the copyright proprietor; even though there are usually legal provisions allowing the backing up of music and video.
