GOG.com is running a 50% off promotion on all their Interplay titles until July 4th, including FreeSpace 1 + Silent Threat and FreeSpace 2. Here's what they have to say (with some grammatical corrections... I couldn't help myself):
(http://www.gog.com/upload/images/2011/06/28b603274107f07152050f42f788b66e50f5338f_small.jpg) (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/freespace_2)...Space tourism is an awesome and burgeoning industry, but the costs are brutally high, and you'll find the safety precautions aren't all that they're cracked up to be. If you're wealthy enough, you can arrange a trip to outer space for roughly $10,000,000, but with no guarantee you'll meet aliens or shoot someone with a laser gun. As a counter-offer we're proposing FreeSpace (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/freespace_expansion) and FreeSpace 2 (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/freespace_2) for $2.99 each! That's one of the best s-f flight simulator series of all time, and for that price it's a steal. Join your colleagues and fight the evil alien Shivans in the Great War, the biggest conflict known to mankind. The series features not only intense s-f action, epic space battles and many customizable spaceships, but also a gripping story with many plot twists. And if you beat the game you can load plenty of mods (http://www.gog.com/en/news/freespace_2_open_source_code_project_spotlight/2009/08) for hundreds hours of additional gameplay. Also read the retrospective by Ed Zitron (http://www.gog.com/en/editorial/editorial_freespace_2/) to know more about the series.
In short, if you don't yet (legally... :rolleyes: ) own either of these games, you owe it to yourself to grab a copy from GOG.com now! :)

And even if you do own them, why not pick up an extra copy of both for the total cost of a fast-food meal? It's always good to have a spare, and it's a nice way of supporting what GOG is doing. :)
