IronArcturus' "Let's Figure Out How to Do a Giveaway" Giveaway!

I just found out I got 3 stars and I wanted to do a giveaway to celebrate this great community! This is my first giveaway, so please bear with me!


The GOG games in this giveaway are:
Age of Wonders 1
Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000
Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga


Here are the requirements:
1. At least 30 rep or greater, and must participate in the GOG community besides giveaways.
2. Not listed in the GOG scammer list/wiki.
3. Say "I'm in for " then pick 1 game! Entries not in this format may not be seen!
4. Enter for yourself.
5. Participate in the discussion and list a rare game that you want to see on GOG!


A randomizer will to be used to choose the winner of each game. At the end of the giveaway, the winners must retrieve the game within 2 days. If no response is heard from them, then the game will be forfeited to the next random winner.


Discussion:
I love playing rare PC games, and I always hope GOG can get more of them! Here is a list of some of my favorites!
Darklight Conflict
Fire Fight
MissionForce: CyberStorm
Return Fire
Take No Prisoners
Uprising
Urban Assault

Darklight Conflict is a game that I've been looking for forever. I'd only played a demo in the past, but it was a really innovative 6-degrees-of-freedom space shooter!

What rare games do you want to see on GOG? If there is a wishlist for it, please link it in your post!


The giveaway should end on January 2nd in the far off, futuristic year of 2015!

Good luck, everyone and have a Happy New Year! :)

Congratulations on the 3rd star, IronArcturus!

I had a lot of fun with all of my old C64 games, but the standouts were the games by Windham Classics; specifically Below the Root and Alice in Wonderland. Terrible graphics (of course) but really fun. I also really loved the Jumpman games, but I'm not sure they'd be as fun today as they were then ;D

Thanks! I've haven't tried the Windham Classics before, but they look interesting! I didn't have a C64 before, but I've always wanted to try those games! I wonder if GOG could get C64 games one day...

I'm in for Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga.

As a fan of old style adventure games and Star Trek, Gog really needs to get Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Star Trek: Judgment Rites (both of which are set in the TOS time period) on their site. Also, for the TNG fans, Gog should get Star Trek: The Next Generation – A Final Unity.

I still actually have Below the Root for the C64. It was a interesting game they did with a small story to go with it. Also one of the few C64 games I could actually complete back then =P

Not in, but +1 for your generosity! :-)


I would love to see these PC games on GOG, even if I already own most of them (still in their retail boxes):

▪ CyberMage: Darklight Awakening ► gameplay video
▪ The Daedalus Encounter ► gameplay video
▪ Psychic Detective ► gameplay video
▪ The Dig ► gameplay video
▪ Oni ► gameplay video
▪ The Simpsons: Hit & Run ► gameplay video
▪ SWAT 4 ► gameplay video


And for all Commodore 64 lovers, there are two good emulators, and the ROM images can easily be found on the Internet:

▪ Vice
▪ CCS64

GOG really needs to get more Trek games! I wish Bridge Commander could make it to GOG!

Yes, it was a very original game, but also very demanding at the time...

Hey, that's not a giveaway giveaway! It's just a straight giveaway.

I was hoping for some kind of meta-giveaway where you gave people the chance to win the opportunity to giveaway a game.

Still, nice of you to give away games, thanks for doing that.

Thanks! This is the first time I've ever done a giveaway, and I'm still learning how to do this. Hmm, maybe I should have named the title to: I'm-trying-to-figure-out-how-to-do-this giveaway. :P
