    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)

    Why do prices always have to be in dollars

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

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

    And if you do get them, have a look around at Hard Light Productions - 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.

    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.

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

    No Masters of Orion II. Yet, anyways.


    But overall, I REALLY like their concept.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

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

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

    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.
