And the gender selection for the account creation screen amuses me.

Thank Kek, had my access key sent to me today, I didnt know since I read this thread.

[TevashSzat]

I must heavily recommend Freespace I + II and its expansion for any fan of space games.

Even though it is VERY old, the game has aged beautifully and has a great deal of content that will last anyone for a while. I can confidently say that it is still probably the best space shooter game out there today (that is not in a sandbox space like game)

[FactionHeir]

Why do prices always have to be in dollars :no:

Selection is still rather meagre at the moment. Hopefully they'll get some decent ones out before the promotion ends.

[CrossLOPER]

I was sort of looking forward to this. I prefer hard copies, though.

[Martok]

Ooh! They have the original Descent! Will have to check that out, methinks. :yes:

[TinCow]

I'm most interested in hearing how well the games have been adapted to run on modern OSs and much higher-spec machines than at the time of original release. I look forward to reading reports on this.

As am I, actually. I'd be especially interested if they ever got the rights to sell Star Trek TNG: Birth of the Federation. Even to this day, that game suffers from a memory leak that causes turns to take forever to process, even on high-end computers.

[Xiahou]

Not really planning on buying any of these games right away, but I'll keep an eye on them as their library expands.

I definitely appreciate what they are trying to do. :2thumbsup:

[Kekvit Irae]

I bought myself Fallout Tactics, and used the coupon to get Fallout for free. I already have Fallout, but not having to deal with hard copies is awesome. Plus they give me the soundtracks to both games in MP3 format.

[ElectricEel]

Classic games by digital download, updated to work on modern operating systems, DRM-free and cheap? Yes please.


I must heavily recommend Freespace I + II and its expansion for any fan of space games.

And if you do get them, have a look around at Hard Light Productions (http://www.hard-light.net/) - it's the main hub of the Freespace community and the home of the Source Code Project, the project for improvement of the Freespace 2 engine based on the original source code, released by the developer.

[Husar]

I got my key yesterday, had been waiting for it, bought myself Jagged Alliance 2 Unfinished Business and used the coupon for Fallout Tactics to have a look at that Fallout stuff as well. :2thumbsup:

What I also find great and admirable is that they put actual work into those games and made them XP and Vista compatible.

[seireikhaan]

:furious3: No Masters of Orion II. Yet, anyways.


But overall, I REALLY like their concept.

[UltraWar]

Only when the entire One Unit Whole Blood pack for Blood appears on this list, I'll be interested.

What, you lost your disk? For shame. :no:
:laugh4:

[doc_bean]

What are the payment methods available ?

[Husar]

VISA and MasterCard, or that's all it showed me, fortunately my bank provides me a free one of the latter. :2thumbsup:

yes

[Fragony]

If any of you haven't played Sacrifice, and I suspect you didn't because you aren't praising it into high heavens, I urge you to give this work of love a try, and a work of love it is, it's a creative explosion. Only Thief:The Dark Project (owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww THIEF GAWD) has me dripping with more fanboyism. Tough as nails, brilliant beyond believe.

[Big_John]

those really are good old games.

if it had interstate '76, outlaws and myth, it would be called "great old games".

[JR-]

I have found love!




3. You buy it, you keep it.

Don't let your DRMs turn into nightmares (clever, eh?). You won't find any intrusive copy protection in our games; we hate draconian DRM schemes just as much as you do, so at GOG.com you don't just buy the game, you actually own it. Once you download a game, you can install it on any PC and even re-download it whenever you want, as many times as you need, and you can play it without an internet connection.


this is what i want from 21st century games distributers.

[Husar]

I just saw they added PayPal to the payment methods and they will get IGI 2. :2thumbsup:
