Best thing to do is buy another copy. I'm on my second due to scratches. E-bay may be the cheapest. You have to buy it, downloading the full game would be ileagle(sp), sorry.

It's spelled ill-eagle.


p.s. I don't think you can download the entire game anywhere. It would take forever to do so anyway. Those scratched CDs are really a pain. I've lost a few favourites that way.

downloading it is not illegal if you have an original copy- it doesn't matter whether you bought it,found it or a friend gave it to you as long as you actually have it - i do(and i'll post a picture if anyone is having a fit.) - its the same principle as backing it up on writeable cd,if you own it you own it outright and you can do as you like with it provided you don't share it

I actually had to buy myself a second copy because a friend borrowed the original. And then the wally liked it so much he never returned it! Grrr ....

@Cold, it is illegal to download it. The CD is coded to require it to be used in the player. Downloading it means you by pass the security feaure which is pirateing it. Also, you can not make a back up copy because of this feature.
