I'm about to do some buying, for safety sake.

Any must haves?

Of the games I don't have I am considering Master of Magic, Pirates, Total Annihilation, Outcast.

Any suggestions/stayawaytions?

It is not at all like FF7, in fact it is more of an action game with light CRPG elements.

But it is not as good as Outcast, obviously.

Master of Magic & Outcast are must-haves, in my opinion. Also, Master of Orion 1-2 and if you like space sims, I-war




And ugh, I don't like these news at all. Darklands, Colonization, Pirates!, Moonbase Commander & KKND are all games that I've had my eyes on. Hopefully GOG has signed its contracts with the French main company, and not Atari US.

I am hoping for a sale, but otherwise I will have to buy some of these Atari games when next month rolls around. Going for Roller Coastyer Tycoon 3 and Outcast, along with Blood.

Good games on that list, luckily I already have the ones I want.

Here I have Master of Magic, Master of Orion, Start Control 3 (no need for 1+2 with Ur Quan Masters out there for free). Colonization, Sid Meier's Pirates! and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 I already have on Steam. I even have Desperado's and Darklands here it seems... wow, completely forgot I even bought those... haven't even played em yet xD

I guess it's safe to go dig up all the E.T. catridges buried in my back yard.

Cues desperate omfg gotta get Outcast and AitD fast

I downloaded and played the demo for Outcast a few years ago and to be honest it kind of bored me to tears. A lot of times demos can actually hurt a game's promotion by being crap (like Slipstream for example) and I wonder if that may be the case here. I've got the $9 BDM left and I'm wondering if I missed something here.

I guess it's high time to buy Outcast.

I wonder if Hasbro will buy Atari.

Well I'm picking up Outcast and the 1st three 'Alone' titles as a result of this. It means ramen noodles for the rest of the week but hey, that still taste better than orphan.

Not all of them, as the X-COM franchise is in the 2K's streamlining hands...

The bigger publishers usually have debts in hundreds of millions USD. I'm not sure CDP has this much money.

Oh yeah, forgot that. Kinda weird how the old XCOM games are on Steam and Gamersgate (afaik without DRM) but not on GOG.

I wonder also where the rights of the previous Civilization games has fallen too.

Don't just consider Total Annihilation, grab it with both hands!

If anyone is still on the fence about TA, maybe this is the push you need. You will NOT be disappointed.
