GOG.com Christmas Sale

Alex C:
I dunno if I'd say that. I mean, ToEE was based on D&D and then went ahead and made a number of things worse.

You can always pick up Myst and Riven. Both great games. I've been thinking of trying that Real Myst thing (where you have free motion and a first-person perspective) just for the heck of it, I mean, it's only $4.19. But I'm not sure I'd even find the time to invest in it. The Unreal Tournament releases they have on there are cool, too, at least if you have any sort of interest in FPS multiplayer. I also used to play the Freespace games when I was younger; they're pretty engaging space combat simulators with a decent storyline.

I feel confident suggesting all of these games. Personal taste aside, some of them are obviously better than others but all of them are either great games or at the very least still good by todays standards and a great look at the history of the genre. I'm also almost certain I've missed a few.

I'm also uploading all 4 of the "mods" I'd use for Arcanum to mediaf!re, which are numbered in the order you would want to install them. First 2 are fan patches which fix a vast majority of the bugs in the game and the last 2 are improved resolution support and town map quality patches. I'll link it once it's done.

Here are the Arcanum files.

Scandanavian War Machine:
So depending on how much I get paid next week, I might actually buy a couple of these games, despite the fact that I don't even own a computer.

The ones I was thinking about the most:

Planescape: Torment
Baldurs Gate Whatever (probably not)
Two Worlds
Myst
Riven
Beyond Good & Evil
Psychonauts
Jagged Alliance 2


I've never played any of these (besides a demo for Two Worlds on 360 and a little Myst when I was a kid) so it's all pretty much new to me.

If I pay for a game now, will I be able to download it later? I don't have a computer and I might not have access to one for little while but I'd like to take advantage of the sale, if possible.

imagist42:
Do you like RPGs? More specifically, action RPGs? If so, you will want Planescape and Baldur's Gate (I recommend both 1 & 2, but some people will argue only one or the other, in which case I kind of prefer the latter as a game but the former as a story). Also, I like you played "a little Myst" when I was a kid, and only recently played both Myst and Riven and loved them, so take that as you will.

With GOG you can download and redownload whenever you want. It's kind of like Steam, but without any sort of program to frame it all, just an account on their website. Also, you download the installation files, so if you wanted to, say, temporarily store them or back them up on some kind of portable memory/hard drive, that's an option.
