Forget shops: these aren't high-volume games!  I bought LTOI1 from a
mail-order company without much difficulty about a year ago, but I
can't remember which one, which is a shame because I'd like LTOI2 now.

Activision, I believe.

So returning to your original question:

Er, no.  I saw the advert previously in a magazine called PC-Player,
which was specifically about games where you needed a brain, but I
haven't seen the magazine recently (probably because I haven't been
looking at the right time in the month).
