My son borrowed someone's (old) copy of the game Police Quest II.
While using it, one of the game disks went bad.  This is the
disk where a game in-progress is saved.  The particular file
holding this information is scrambled in some way and I couldn't
recover the file with SUM utilities.  This was an official copy
with the copy protection scheme in tact.  I think Sierra On-Line made
this game and so they may be willing to replace the disk for the original owner.
But... I would rather not trouble the owner to replace a disk that was
broken in my possession.

So, I am willing to buy someone's used (but working) copy of this game,
hopefully at a reasonable price.  If anyone knows if this game is still
being sold new, I would appreciate hearing about it -- where, how
much etc.
