Good Old Games holiday sale

[Mikhailian]

I don't recall when it started, but gog.com is running a sale until January 3rd. I picked up a copy (lol @ picked up) of Fallout 1 for $3.89 US. So far it's worked perfectly for me on xp.

Putting a link in the OP would be handy...

Considering Sanitarium, The Longest Journey and Psychonauts, all for peanuts. Sanitarium definitely, not sure about the others.

my problem with gog is that i already have most of the really good games there already, and not enough "new" old stuff is arriving. I want system shock 1 and crusader: no remorse/regret

That's been my complaint as well. I still have all my old games. Hell I still have 2 drawers full of my old Amiga 500 games.

I already downloaded the free Tex Murphy package...haven't tried them yet.

Yeah, they're slow to get new stuff. But for me that's ok, since I'm often slow to play, heh.

I only get ones I either never bought myself, or where I assume/think my discs are so old they probably wouldn't work well on Win7 or possibly even XP w/out some work (I don't have/use DosBox). Which means I'd love Tombraider 1 & 2...

How about just a brand new crusader? I'd buy the heck outa that.

...and a hi-rez redo of starcon 2...

[Tigranes]

I want some really old stuff, like a grand old Lucasarts / Sierra adventure games pack from the 80's.

EA simply shows no interest in getting their old titles on any download service for some reason. I would have thought that there was a decent market for old Ultimas/ Wing Commanders/ System Shocks/ Dungeon Keepers etc which could be exploited with minimal effort but EA seems to like pretending that they never made anything prior to 2005, let alone 2000.

[LadyCrimson]

Edit: Scratch that thought. I guess it's still technically illegal for the most part, even if rarely legally disputed, so...never mind, don't want encourage it here.

Considering about half of those games are already on my GOG wishlist, this is epic. Glad I didn't buy them earlier.

Buy them all. I'm about to buy Sanitarium, but having already bought TLJ and Psychonauts I can guarantee they are worth it.

There *are* some of the old LA Adventure games on... er Steam.

 

I HAD to buy The Dig.. just because the music in that is SO SO good...

Yeah, I bought them all just now. Although I *think* TLJ is the one that I've already played? Is TLJ the sequel or the original?

Ah. Pity, I hate Steam. I'll just have to wait.

[Humodour]

TLJ is the first one. I haven't played the sequel. Not sure if I want to either - it'd be like playing a sequel to Planescape: Torment.

I regret playing the sequel if only for the ending. What happens next?! Damn you Ragnar T

[Purkake]

For the love of puppies, kittens and witty female protagonists get The Longest Journey if you haven't played it yet. It is awesome.

 

Sanitarium and Psychonauts are great, as well.

[Tigranes]

The sequel is absolutely amazing, though I'm not sure how you'd feel if you already played the first one. The gameplay was obviously nothing interesting, but at leasdt it didn't get in the way of the game, which was beautiful, had a great story and all. The ending was rubbish, of course, but that's really a different problem, i.e. Tornquist won't finish the bloody trilogy and would rather make a MMO.

 

Good to see I got the right one, I'm downloading Sanitarium first but TLJ should be glorious.

[Majek]

It's not GOG's fault that Lucas and EA don't want to put them there or want to make more money. And i still have plenty old games but i still bought GOG edition because of the support they offer for them.

Not to mention the DRM-free singe-file digital format.

[Morgoth]

I'd love to buy Sanitarium, but alas, it doesn't work with ATI cards.

It works with my Radeon HD 4850 last I checked...

Get rise of the triad you ****s

That was my very first purchase on Steam when I first got it. Best money I have ever spent.
