I bought this pack during the summer sale despite owning pretty much all of it in disk form.

Seriously, I was not going to install like 8 fucking CDs of shit and patch to play NWN again.

I got them on sale for exactly that reason. :)

Skipped (again :P) the D&D promotion, but I got today's (monday) Wizardry one: the sixth, seventh and eighth chapter for $6.38. Not bad.

Finally! "I have no mouth and I must scream" is now available on GOG: one of the most original graphic adventures ever.

Privateer 2: The Darkening is now on GOG:

EDIT: whoops, that was Gamespot original review back in '97. Here's the link to the game card:

Big weekend RPG deal:

http://www.gog.com/promo/rpg_weekend_promo_200913

I'm probably going to pick up Wizardry 6-8, since I was pointed to a thing that will help eliminate the need for graph paper for mapping, which was the big thing keeping me from getting Wizardry 6 and 7.

It's 1988 again!

No wait, it's 1997!

I didn't see anyone mentioning this elsewhere but GOG has been running flash sales for the past day or so. System Shock 2 is currently up for $1.99 and going fast. 266 copies left and dropping. The deals have been repeating for the past 24 hours or so so keep watching the main page.

edit: Just snagged Don't Starve for $4.99. ~500 copies left and going quick.

[HaemishM]

In the last hour, I think I've seen like 7 or 8 games go up for sale then come down. You really just need to leave your browser on the page to see what's available.

[Sky]

The free offers are insane. I was just clicking 'buy' at one point, every time a deal clicked over...and still too late to get any of them.

[raydeen]

I've tried to snag some of the free ones and have failed. I wouldn't be surprised if people aren't just mashing the mouse button when they show up.

I need to stop watching this stuff. Wife is gonna kill me if I buy anything else this week.

Last night hilarity ensued as it took something like 5 hours for Jack Keane 2 to finally sell 100 copies. Take a look at some of the user reviews for some comedy gold.

The free Septerra Core flew by before it even finished loading.  Don't feel bad about that, however, the game is horrible.  Really grindy and slow combat.  It's like an IOS quality JRPG.

I bought that one when it came out in retail. Didn't get too far in it but I do have the GOG version from one of their weekend package deals. Keep meaning to fire it up and try it again. It's only been, what, 15 years or so?

I's not so much grindy, as it's perfectly happy to make you re-clear areas that you're run multiple times to get to another locked door on previously unattainable maguffin.

The combat is no worse than any other late-90s JRPG.  I mean it has long, slow wind up animations, but I sorta thought that was the point of JRPG combat

Fun times: "You can only buy a gift copy as you already own this game."

Woops.

Two free games I've seen, both gone before I could blink.

Maybe you should play some games instead of watching the sale. 

[Rasix]

Watching the sale is probably better than that badger game I bought.  But hey, it was cheap and Sam has OK taste in games.

edit:

My counter broke!  Nope, just a game that's only 50% off.   

[Lucas]

So far I've bought:

- Septerra Core (no idea of what it is)
- Tales of Monkey Island
- Master of Magic
- Populous the Beginning
- Myst: Masterpiece Edition
- Might & Magic I-VI

[calapine]

50% off the Wing Commander series.

[Sir T]

Just got an email where they offered me 3 free games and really cheap one off deals to "come back". I did. Dungeon keeper 2 for 3 quid and 3 games for nothing.

Winter sale 2013 starts....NOW!!

http://www.gog.com/news/2013_drmfree_winter_sale_begins_now

And with a bang!  for 48 hours, Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics are completely free.

http://www.gog.com/news/free_games_fallout_fallout_2_and_fallout_tactics

Nice opportunity to de-disk  or actually play them for the first time.

EDIT: IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE "CLASSIC" FALLOUT GAMES, straight from GOG:

Please note that all three classic Fallout titles are pending right holder change. Sadly, to the best of our knowledge, we'll be forced to remove Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics from our offer. That doesn't mean, however, that you won't be able to download them if they are already a part of collection by then. Secure your copies today (or anytime before Saturday, December 14, at 1:59PM GMT)!

[Yegolev]

I owe you a beer.

[Ironwood]

Guys, if you DON'T have the classic Fallout Games Already, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

But also, get them.

[HaemishM]

Site is getting hammered. I can see the winter sale page, but can't login. I already have all the Fallout games, though, from the last time they gave them away.

[Yegolev]

Guys, if you DON'T have the classic Fallout Games Already, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

I have all of them on original CD-ROM.  What I don't have is the time to bother with setting them up on Win7.

[schild]

If I could fucking login I'd grab them.

[Sky]

I was able to get in enough to nab Fallout 2 and Tactics (I had 1 already on gog), but site is so melted I was lucky to do that much.

[Torinak]

I didn't get coal in the random offer-of-the-day box, but I did get an endless spinner game--it's sort of like a cross between ProgressQuest and Snake...

Me too  :  I don't remember that being too much of a hardship on Win 7 tho, but I was in the midst of my DosBox habit, so it could just have been me.

[Reg]

Don't GOG games that need it come preconfigured with Dosbox?  Or maybe I'm thinking of Steam.

[Ironwood]

Yes, but I think that was his point :  It's easier to reget them on GoG than fuck around with the CDs from the attic.

[Lounge]

I cant speak for F2 or Tactics, but the gog version of Fallout 1 includes both a windows and dos executable.  You install them and grab the Fallout FIXT patch and you're good to go in widescreen with all the bug fixes.  It even looks pretty good at that point tbh.  I'm playing them on 64 bit 8.1 this way and haven't run into any glitches.

[Shannow]

So the Fallout games rights are changing hands. gOG decides to offer them for free.
Smells like a gigantic Fuck you! To the new owners.
To which I congratulate GOG.
