CASTLES: THE NORTHERN CAMPAIGN + CASTLES II (ORIGINAL FLOPPY VERSION WITH EXTRA CONTENT)

Castles: The Northern Campaign
Castles II (original floppy version with extra content)
GOG game page

This giveaway is about the missing Castles games, which have yet to be released almost since GOG.com's launch!
Here are some forum discussions about each title:
http://www.gog.com/forum/castles_series/what_is_the_northern_campaign
http://www.gog.com/forum/castles_series/floppy_version_as_a_bonus

Rules:
1. You don't need to vote for the game to be in. Just post something in this thread or on the wishlist page about the game. The idea is to promote hidden classics by way of talking about the game. So I would appreciate if you state your opinion, memories, review etc.
2. Tell which one of the following games you are in for.

King of Dragon Pass
Castles + Castles 2
Stronghold HD
The Lords of Midnight
The Great Battles

I will announce one winner when Castles: The Northern Campaign reaches 175 votes, another winner when Castles II (original floppy version with extra content) reaches 150 votes or when the games are released (whichever sooner).

Damien, I can only hope that this awesome giveaway is as successful as your giveaway for Queen: The Eye in promoting and bringing awareness to this still-incomplete game package that's been begging to be completed from the beginning of GOG's existence.

As one of the first titles available on GOG, and one that's continued to be available throughout GOG's history (unlike several others), it seems to me that this Castles package is past-due for a retrofit, for the possibility of The Northern Campaign's inclusion here on GOG to be re-explored, and for the floppy version of Castles II to finally be included as a bonus download in the very same wonderful way that Judas and his crack behind-the-scenes team have done to so much fanfare before for so many other games by now.

Judas! If you can hear me, if my voice has reached your blue, thieving ears (I assume that all GOG employees are blue, like Andorians), hasn't this one waited its turn long enough?
im in for stronghold Hd or thank you
like always i will vote for the game
Not in but thanks for the giveaway!

I looked up the Castles games and although they are absolutely not my cup of tea i voted for them. It's understandable that fans of the games would like to have the missing stuff added. :)
I voted! Please count me in for King of Dragon Pass. Thank you. +1
Voted for the two Castles games. Those look very worth having here.

I'm in for King of Dragon Pass, and by the way Stronghold HD (and Crusader too) is a great game - one of my all-time favs.

Thanks!
Thanks for the giveaway, I'm in.

I'll check out your games, and vote for them.

I'd go for any of the games offered as I don't have any of them, but Stronghold HD looks most interesting to me.
Oh snap, thanks for the heads up, I guess I'll hold off on playing the GOG versions until they amp it up.

Edit: +1 for giveaway, not in.

Not in either, but make sure you contact Support, and perhaps message Judas (although this might not fall under his domain) or Turnipslayerr. (As long as you don't spam them of course)

Unfortunately, I think we still have various other Interplay games missing, such as Cyberia 1 & 2. Hopefully this will change.

Thanks for the awesome giveaway. I don't remember much about Castles, but I recall enjoying it and I like these sort of management/strategy games. I have the game, but as with many of the titles I have on GOG, I haven't gotten around to replaying it yet.

In any case, I am in for The Great Battles. Alternatively, if that ends up being taken, I'd also be happy with getting The Lords of Midnight.

I hope GOG will get more strategy/management games in the future. I'm still waiting for Machiavelli: The Prince and the Anno series.

I missed these when they were released, which is a pity as they look right up my alley, I hope we get the complete version here.

I am in for The Lords of Midnight, thanks.
