You can get both games from Good Old Games for more than half the normal price; that is $9.95 for both games; usually they would be nearly $20 for both. These games are still being sold on some sites for $19.99 each, though you can get them for about $7 each via Big Fish.
The advantage of buying them from GOG is that they are DRM free, so there's no fiddly registration process involved and definitely no internet connection needed once you've downloaded your copy. Granted for those on dial up these are relatively large downloads, but if you use a download manager you can download in stages if you wish; however, if you love adventure games you'll love both of these adventure games. They are beautifully made with breathtaking imagery throughout both. Go HERE to check out Siberia 1 & II.
If you haven't already, there are three adventure games downloadable for free from GOG, all three have already been mentioned in the forums elsewhere and can be found in G@rgoyles free games synopsis HERE, they include Lure of the Temptress , Under a Steel Sky and Teenagent.
Syberia: (2Gb)
Kate Walker, a young ambitious lawyer from New York, is handed what seems to be a fairly straightforward assignment. Just a quick stopover to handle the sale of an old automaton factory hidden in the alpine valleys, then straight back home to New York. Little did she imagine, when embarking on this task, that her life would be turned upside down.
On her expedition across Europe, traveling from Western Europe to the far reaches of Eastern Russia, she encounters a host of incredible individuals and locations full of extraordinary machines and an amazing atmosphere. In her attempt to track down Hans, the genius inventor - the final key to unlock the secret of Syberia - she will traverse both land and time on a journey that will throw all that she values into question, while the deal she sets out to sign turns into a life-changing experience.

Having searched Eastern and Western Europe for a missing heir, Kate Walker finally completed her long and arduous journey, obtaining the signature of Hans Voralberg and closing the automaton factory buyout. Mission accomplished? Perhaps, but not for her...

The surreal quest Hans began alone several years ago will come to a final close as he and Kate face obstacles far more dangerous than ever before, testing their courage and determination. Far and beyond, a mystical Syberia awaits their arrival...
