I'm usually all over these mystery game sales but looking at the list there are maybe 3 or 4 I am interested in (Anna's Quest, Gabriel Knight, etc) , several I don't know about but may potentially like, and several I own on steam or ps3 (saints row, spelunky, rogue legacy). Just doesn't seem like it is worth the risk this time around with all of the potential duplicates, I wish these mystery drawings focused more on Good Old Games found mostly only on gog.
...and I just tried again and got apotheon...

something this time that I had actually thought about purchasing several times...
my mystery mystery game finally revealed itself to be breach and clear
...and well I took a third toss now,and it was meh:
Raiden III

bleh arcade game...
So this is weird.

This Morning I bought one and got

A Golden Wake

Then I bought a second and got the "Mystery Game Bug"

It started showing whether that game was a gift or not so I came back later and when it didn't say it was a gift I got one and got

Airline Tycoon Deluxe

When I checked my account for Airline Tycoon I had

Breach and Clear

added from the earlier mystery game and I decided to check my orders history to see how breach and clear was taken care of and it said I had an additional pending Mystery Game Order that hadn't been paid for yet and bought completed it and got(the bug was "fixed" by giving me the un-owned game Breach and Clear and a new mystery game order that hadn't been purchased - at least I don't remember having a game in my cart)

Gabriel Knight 20th Anniversary

I then bought mystery games and got

Supreme League of Patriots
Anna's Quest
Elminage Gothic
Aquaria
Agarest: Generations of War
Cities in Motion
Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Directors Cut
Europa Universalis III Complete
Breach and Clear - Deadline
Train Fever


So all in all I paid for 14 and got 14, while I got games I didn't care about I got plenty I did.

And it's currently telling me there are still games I don't have but I don't know yet what they are(it's not saying this order is a gift).
First time I ever got a mystery game and it is:

Aquaria

Never heard of it before, but it looks interesting. Several reviews say it's a bit like Ecco, which I loved. Overall, very pleased. I think I'll keep it.
It appears it's not saying whether a game is owned or not anymore before purchase(it's no longer saying "This Order Must be a Gift") But I've gotten all 14 of the listed games that I didn't own.

Just to check I put 10 mystery games in my cart and went to the complete the order page. Assuming their aren't 10 new games then the ones listed on the first page then it's not telling you if you own the games before hand.
Didn't think of the rule that it doesn't prioritize the games that you don't own when you buy something as a gift. Got Crimsonland and The Bard's Tale (which I both already own).

Will use them as additional prizes in my Christmas Avatar giveaway.
Rolled the dice and got:

Lilly Looking Through

and

Rogue Legacy

Probably will sit on the shelf but it was worth a try.
After hours of waiting my mystery game was redeemed and I got Battle Realms + Winter of the Wolf. I never heard of it before, but it looks pretty nice and seems to have some glowing reviews from the community. I am okay with this :)

Now I just need to decide whether or not I want to gamble away another couple of bucks to try for Shantae: Risky's Revenge and Spelunky.

It said so only because of the Mystery Game bug, which one temporarily had in one's orders.

GRANITsalvo: Gemini Rue.

Never heard of the game, but feel lucky since I enjoy the genre.
It's a great, great game. You'll need around 8 hours to finish it and it's tremendous adventure. Enjoy.

I got

INQUISITOR
HEARTS OF IRON II COMPLETE

I guess it's fine because I don't have these two neither her nor on Steam. However, I don't think I'll have any patience, will nor time to enjoy these. And the rest of the list is 80% have, 15% wouldn't want anyway, 5% would like to try at some point so no more gambling.

P.S. Hearts of Iron II was first 'mystery gift'. I've sent mail to support and it got resolved in a few hours. Try it.
Thanks for the list!

Just one game I'd be really interested in so I guess I'll skip the whole mystery thing.

tomo19: Thanks, but I think it's too late. I'm new to GOG and I didn't buy this game as a gift

GR00T: If you haven't DLed it, you could contact Support and ask them to convert it to a gift code. They're probably pretty slammed right now, but it's worth a shot if you're interested.
Is there a recognized time limit on having GOG Support convert Mystery game purchases into gifts? I would like to do it in the next couple of days if possible rather than spending a bunch of time today.
OMG so addictive.
I made out like a bandit last Pinata, and it seems the Pinata gods are still madly in love with me.
