Their sales change every day. Right now it's Witcher 2 for 75% off as well as other stuff. I just bought their Bullfrog Bundle cause there were a few games on that list I didn't already own and at the ridiculous price it was worth it just to satisfy the itch I've had recently to replay Populous the Beginning again.

No Bullfrog bundle  :(

They've got Total Annihilation Commander Pack for $2.99 though. I've heard a lot of good things about that game so I'm going to grab it.

It's worth noting if anyone wants Freespace 1, that's had it's price cut in half too.

TA is freaking amazing "two continents" is a cracking skirmish map, dont get TA:kingdoms though, iirc it was not worthy of the TA name.  Original TA also has a mass of community content and stuff for it worth looking at.

Another one who likes it. It's being copied onto my computer now as I type. They've got loads of stuff on sale at Gog right now. I'm going to browse through and see if there's anything else.

How reliable is GOG anyone? Anyone had any problems with it? Total Annihilation Commander Pack was only my third Gog download, and I just can't get it to work. It won't even start.

All the Jagged Alliances (http://www.gog.com/gamecard/jagged_alliance_2), FTL (http://www.gog.com/gamecard/faster_than_light), and To the Moon (http://www.gog.com/gamecard/to_the_moon) are on sale now, too!
I can't stress enough how good To the Moon is. If anybody missed me shouting about it earlier, you need to play it now!

They're generally very, very good actually. If you can't get something to work go to the My Games section, click on Total Annihilation and then the forums. Check the stickies first but if they don't help, the forum almost certainly will.

if you're trying to use their download manager thing, just do it as a normal download instead.

It was a normal download. I tried all sorts with that thing, it got re-downloaded and installed 3 times, I messed with the compatibility, installed newest drivers to my graphics card. It doesn't recognise the launcher icons. It does when it first downloads, but not after that. It slows my computer to a crawl as well when I try to launch it, whether from a launcher/shortcut icon, or from the application itself, so I have to restart the computer with every fresh attempt.

Okay, I'm sold on it. Now I just need to find some time to play.

Grimrock for $7.50?  Sold.

Master of Magic for $2.50?  I'd buy the manual for that!  (Seriously, if GoG offered a printed, bound copy of the manual for $2.50 and some shipping, I'd buy it.)

I bought an extra copy of Icewind Dale 2 as well, not because I particularly like it, but because I have been itching to play it again, and the disc version comes with one of the nastier versions of StarForce.

Yes, the Bullfrog Bundle I wanted is back. Among many other excellent deals that you people should look into if you like GOG.

I've just bought the Bullfrog Bundle despite not being able to get Total Annihilation to work. I wonder how many of these will work.
