FullAuto Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 GOG does what it says, providing a catalogue of downloadable games. ATM there's only two prices, $5.99 and $9.99, which is very cheap. They've got stuff like Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics, the Descents, Kingpin, MDK 1&2, Operation Flashpoint, and less obvious games you (I) missed the ifrst time around, Original War, Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising, Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, and er, the Redneck Rampage Collection. Definite bias towards RTS games, though that's hardly surprising. Small catalogue to begin with, but it will only get bigger. Site is nicely designed, forums already busy, no DRM with the games, which are XP and Vista compatible. You get stuff free with some titles, artwork, soundtracks, wallpapers, avatars, etc. Catalogue can be filtered by genre, rating, price, availability (available or coming soon), publisher, and of course you can search for a title. It also lets you browse a full list if you're feeling energetic. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 A little piece on their DRM here (or lack thereof ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Top Ten most wanted ATM is: System Shock 2Planescape: TormentSystem ShockBaldur's Gate II: Shadows Of AmnThe Secret Of Monkey IslandMonkey Island 2: LeChuck's RevengeThe Curse Of Monkey IslandFull ThrottleOutcastIndiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis Spore turned up on the wishlist, which made me laugh. Some people must really want to get it legally, without DRM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thoguht I'd put a link to the site in the first post Gutted I can't see inside. The intro page is really shiny so I can only imagine the rest of the site is just as nicely designed. Since they've got Interplay, I'd like them to add Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Star Trek: Judgment Rites, though maybe windowed on today's screens as I recall the graphics being possibly slightly blockier than X-COM. No offense, but it just wont do if my eyes bleed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knan Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 So how long before we have a Dosbox that does realtime vector tracing, so we avoid randomly bleeding Petes? (Fooled around with potrace this weekend. Quite cool.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 That would be nice Care to test how it fares with, say, the Sectoid from the UFOPedia in X-COM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knan Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Fairly well. The background gradient causes a bit of trouble. A little bit of manual tuning produced this: https://anduin.net/~knan/Sectoid-RGB-ja.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorbicol Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Morning All, one of my random visits back to these forums (I do check them about once a week, honest!) Anyway, not sure if this has been posted else where but there was nothing immediately apparent after a quick search, but Jagged Alliance is now available on Good Old Games for the princely sum of $9.99 Not bad even with the current currency conversion rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matri Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Anyone played The Guild? Is it any cop?If you don't mind the non-pace of the game. It's really really slow-paced, you'll spend most of your time waiting as everything happens in the background. Still, you'll find yourself going "Just five more minutes", and the next thing you know your boss is on the phone asking why you're not in the office yet. Not that I would know, of course...
