Azrael Strife Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Space Quest 2: Vohaul's Revenge (VGA remake) Roger's life has returned to normal after the events in Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter. Transferred to the Xenon Orbital Station 4 and promoted to head (and only) janitor, life is quiet until he is abducted by Sludge Vohaul, the evil mastermind behind the original Sarien attack of the Arcada. As Roger is being transported to the Labion labor mines as punishment for thwarting Vohaul's original plan, the prison ship crash-lands in a nearby jungle upon the planet. Size: about 500 MB https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5BYWb8dpLCc King's Quest III: To Heir is Human (VGA remake) Long ago, when magic was the only science known to man there dwelt in the land of Llewdor a wizard named Manannan. He was very learned in all the matters of the heavens and earth. Of great age, Manannan presented a frail appearance, as meant, Manannan’s impression of fragility lasted only until one looked into his coal-black eyes, which burned with a strange fire. This was, indeed, a powerful wizard.Although he was powerful, and capable of conjuring up vast armies of spirit servants to sweep his hearth, prepare his meals, and other menial tasks with which he would not soil his hands, this solution to his everyday needs was not satisfactory to him. For he liked his solitude, and didn’t want a lot of spirits cluttering up his house. Instead, he apprenticed a very young boy to do his bidding, taking the lad when he was only a year old, so that the boy would have no memories to tug at him in the years to come. Unfortunately for Manannan, boys grow up and become adventuresome young men. As his slave grew in stature and in strength, Manannan was irritated to find him poking around in areas of the house where he didn’t belong. Or he would climb down the narrow path leading to Manannan’s mountaintop retreat to explore the surrounding countryside. Even punishment did not stop him for long.One day, when his slave was 18 years of age, the wizard found him practicing magic spells. This was the last straw!“YOU!” Manannan screamed. “You have read my books of spells and plundered my supplies of powders and potions. You have even ventured into Llewdor again, against my expressed command, for nowhere else could you have gathered some of these ingredients!”“You think you will win your freedom with these tricks?” the wizard sneered. “You shall see your mistake! You have earned only your own demise!” And with that, Manannan raised his hands menacingly.Suddenly the earth began to shake and his slave was no more. Only a small pile of ashes remained where he had stood.“Next time, I won’t make the same mistake,” Manannan snarled. “ I’ll never let any of my slaves reach manhood. I’ll have no more accidents.” size: about 127 MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoXTheRoXStaR Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 So today and everyday from now on I'm going to help give away free games to EVERYONE.

That's it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JZom_gVfuw And if you don't know, now you know nicka. -Sir NoXington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoXTheRoXStaR Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 If you're signed up with Indiegala you can pick up the free game Normality if not, register at Indiegala and receive some pretty decent oldies and indies. They seem to give away free games every week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 So after a brief hiatus I'm back, (there's literally been nothing to give away lately) so here we go. IndyGala has for some reason a lot of old classic games usually sold dirt cheap.For example: Bioshock - $4.00Borderlands GOTYE - $6.99Dying Light - The Following Enhanced; Mega, Super, Ultra, Complete Edition. Ugh....- $39.99 (Note to self)Add universal currency exchange rate to my signature. So basically it's a 2K Games & Warner Brothers sale. Still pretty cheap stuff and those 3^ are masterpieces of video games. Sadly the only game being given away currently is Agent Awesome which is getting Mixed reviews on Steam.It's retail price is $9.99 but clicking above at this link ^ it's 100% Completely free. I've been told by sources that Green Man Gaming and GOG might be giving things for free.And GOG now has the Original X-COM series. About time! -NoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 True! I love GoG and I was very glad to see them get the classics. I will be even more glad to see the newer XCOMs arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 If you enjoy Role Playing Games (Anime Style), you can pick up for free a copy of Memories of a Vagabond. It currently has a Very Positive user review rating @ 80% which isn't too shabby. Once again this game is ANOTHER free game from the good folks at Indigala. <-- Click link for game and make sure you're registered. -NoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm starting to sound like a broken record. Once again Indiegala is giving away another indie game called Cubetractor which is described as a "Neo-Retroesque" Strategy game. Something to pick up for whatever reason. Make sure you have an account with them to pick it up. -NoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Another Free game is one called Bell Ringer. It's got more negative reviews than positive so don't say I didn't warn you. It's not an Indigala giveaway this time hurray! You can actually pick up here at PC Gamer. -NoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoXTheRoXStaR Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 EA's Origin (Spits) has started to expand their "Free Games" with a new "On The House" game expansions. While this is a nice gesture seemingly at first, if you don't own the Base game, you might be tempted to buy it and get the expansion for free.Anyway, the "Free Expansion" is Battlefield 4 - Final Stand. As I said above it is ONLY the expansion, so if you don't own the Base game you cannot download it AND unlike the "Free Games" it will ONLY be added to your library UNTIL you buy Battlefield 4. Keep this in mind.https://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k490/noxtheroxstar/EABS_zpsr3bibzr5.png-NoX P.S. I won't allow my venomous hatred for EA stop anyone from buying their products. I simply do Not encourage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Steam is giving everyone the first chapter of the remade King's Quest series Chapter 1 for free. You can pick it up here. -NoX Interesting. I might even bite. Though it has been a looooong time since I played true RPGs. I played space quests and hero's quests to no end, I was even prepared to write "climb up" and "climb down" several hundred times to have my hero level up... I did learn a lot of English through those games though! Dictionary was a necessary tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Indiegala is once again giving away free steam keys in the form of Gun Metal, I remember this game from the early 2000's but never had a chance to pick it up...now I can and you can as well. -NoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 EA's Origin is giving another free game away for the Month of June.This time the game is Nox (and no I didn't make this screen name from that game ).Westwood Studios released this game back in 2000, it's an RPG comparable to that of Diablo II. Sadly the game didn't get the much deserved attention it should have gotten as it was released the same year as Diablo II and essentially fell off the radar. -NoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 You know, I looked at this game at GoG a while ago (cca. 5€ now, it was like 2€ on sale) and it took me some serious mental strain NOT to buy it. The praise it has and so forth really demanded some effort, but I had to look deep into myself and admit I was not going to play the game. After I regained control of meself, I realized that your nick and the game correspond, wanted to ask you about the connection and forgot all about it. Some things are better not done as they will sort themselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think NoX colaborates with EA. First he despises them, then they give him for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
