Sigh... is seems that I cannot send a single post without getting a flame.
What I mean is the following:
1) I live in Chile
2) In Santiago de Chile, local computer stores DON'T sell many games - I
haven't found SimCity at any store...
3) what I have tried to ask in this group is if there is an international
store or mail store or something like that that will allow me to buy Simcity
outside USA and get it by mail. Do you know anyone?

Miguel,

Disk-Count Software - 1-908-396-8880
Chips & Bits - 1-802-767-3033
or send a fax to:
Chips & Bits - 1 -802-767-3382

You didn't tell us that either.

You should have asked that to begin with.
We can't read minds...if you want a precise answer, you have to ask the
question precisely. Now albeit, a flame is a harsh response...but considering
no one knew what your problems were, what did you expect?

You didn't look at his email address. I didn't know "cl" meant "Chile"
until just now, but I knew it didn't mean "Cleveland".

I assumed this part based on the foreign (for us USA types) email address.
Based on previous news posts by other netters, I have come to the (maybe
erroneous) conclusion that computer hardware/software is both harder
to get and more expensive outside of the USA. This obviously isn't a
flame to other countries - I'll bet it's a little harder to find a
McDonald's restaurant outside of the USA too. You can probably do it,
but you have to work at it more. (This is more likely a "plus" for
other countries!)

It was obvious to me. Unfortunately, I don't have the answer for Miguel.
Several clues were missed here. First, we have a return email address
of: mbf...@isluga.puc.cl
^^
Next we have a person named "Miguel". Now - at the risk of sounding
bigotted - one could probably assume that "Miguel" from "cl" does not
necessarily equal "Michael" from "Cleveland". (Cleveland is a city
in the USA for those that live in other countries.)
I don't know about others, but I'm really excited by the fact
that I can sit down at my keyboard, and within a matter of minutes,
converse with people from Chile (cl), Australia (au), Canada (ca),
Finland (fi), Germany (de), ..... and about every other country
on the planet!

Some of us can't even read email addresses.

The information that he was from Chile was available both from the domain
name and the organization line. Should I have to tell you I am from the USA
or that I work for Encore??

games are not as available outside the states as inside. We are always seeing
posts from the Australion/New Zealand crowd about this very issue. Also, no
offense to Chile, but I don't think of it as being a personal computer kinda
place. (At least not as compared to here).
Isn't Chile Spanish speaking? Do we send a lot of English speaking games
(I mean manuals and packaging etc.) to non-english speaking countries??
