Planescape
originally submitted by David Wilson:
RPG computer game. Developed by Bioware. produced/released by Interplay in 1999. Unavailable commercially for at least 3 years. The issue also applies to almost all games older than 2 to 3 years.
Stifled uses
David Wilson:
Very simply, to play the game. I am not asking anything outrageous here.
Of note software of this ilk is termed 'abandonware'
Limited copies are available from auction sites such as ebay, however they generally sell for up to £100.
