You can also get Flight of The Amazon Queen, Lure of the Temptress, and Drascula: The Vampire Strikes Back. I haven't tried any of those out, mind you. But they're there.

GOG isn't a download manager, just a download source. And you don't have to muck around with ScummVM, as GOG's version is pre-configured.

Which requires that you get an account. Not a big deal, but I'd prefer not to have to sign up to get something that was previously (and still is) free at another source, that didn't require anything of you in order to download the same damned thing. :/

I bought a game I already owned. Does that count?

Fair enough. I already had an account there before even realizing that they offered a game or two for free, since I estimate that I'll be making quite a number of purchases from them in the future. Already got my hands on realMyst. :yes:

Post by: Wobble73 on May 03, 2010, 06:55:16 am: I bought this as part of a Sold Out package ages ago! Never did play it all the way through. Think I got stuck at some point and gave up. LOL

Post by: CP5670 on May 03, 2010, 05:51:31 pm: This game has been free for a long time. It's definitely worth checking out and has a fairly unique setting as far as adventure games go, although the ending is a bit rushed.
Title: Re: Beneath a Steel Sky: FR££ ON GOG!
Post by: Colonol Dekker on May 04, 2010, 12:26:53 am: The ending's very rushed indeed. Still good fun though.

Post by: Roanoke on May 16, 2010, 05:47:21 pm: I've been indulging in GOG's catalogue after seeing it on the front page here. I don't really mind stumping up a few $s to get old games. Cannon Fodder still drives me INSANE though.

Also got Aquanox (interesting), Shogo (nostalgia trip), Shattered Steel (not sure about that one TBH, haven't played it much yet) and Fallout (not sure about that either).

Post by: SpardaSon21 on May 16, 2010, 05:53:49 pm: Shogo M.A.D. is awesome, and it happens to take place in the F.E.A.R. universe since one of the three companies that form the conglomerate you work for happens to be named Armacham.

Post by: headdie on May 16, 2010, 06:01:39 pm: though your reference between shogo and fear is thing i have to agree that shogo is an awsome game. funny plot, three endings, a cool background story, early 3d graphics, play as a massive robot and on foot, did i say funny story? the robots move like people so its not disjointed, the robots transform into fast unarmed vehicles. and to top it all of done in a nice anime style. oh and its funny in places!
