Happy Anniversary !
IN for Lovely Planet

First game I bought on GOG was Gorky 17.
I'd played a demo of Gorky 17 I had found on a sharewares CD-ROM and kinda like it. Well, I loved it. I knew I had to find the whole game to finish it. Enter GOG...
Awesome giveaway and happy GOG birthday +1 :)

I'd like to be in for Cognition.

My first purchases on GOG were in February 2012 after i've already had an account here for several months.
I bought:
- The Witcher 1 EE
- Fahrenheit
- Cossacks

The Witcher was one of the reasons i created an account here. I played both Fahrenheit and Cossacks years before and wanted to replay them (or finish them in Fahrenheit's case). So i finally made my first purchase here on GOG. But it didn't save me from the disappointment Fahrenheit was in the end....but i really enjoyed the other two games :).
When I only had a P133 and couldn't play modern games, I used to buy gaming magazines to read reviews and walkthroughs for fun. In one of those magazines they were publishing a walkthrough for Beyond Divinity, which stood out because of its awesome cover/box/poster. Typically for me, I missed the issue with the poster, tried to hunt it down, failed, and became super determined to actually [buy and] play the game some day.

Later, I bought a better PC and pirated a bunch of games (I'd have bought games secondhand, but no bank would issue me a card). Unfortunately, Beyond Divinity was bugged to hell and back, and it apparently wasn't good enough for people to make a decent noCD.

In 2007, I finally got a bank to trust me enough to issue me a payment card (!!!) and went on a shopping spree. One of the first items I bought was a nice glossy cardboard box edition of Beyond Divinity. By that time, I was too busy working 13 hours per day, 30 days per month paying off my debts to actually play at home, but I finally had it, and everything was right in the world.

Fast forward to 2010, when I was nearly killed for a room (which I own) by a conspiracy of chavs. (People will literally kill for a room where I live.) My e-friends took me in temporarily, and while I was staying with them, an actual career criminal robbed them and helped himself to my copy of Beyond Divinity. Seriously.

The day after my Nth birthday, I was sadface and bored, so I googled the game and found GOG. I bought the Divinities, M&M 6-pack, Heroes II, and set Beyond Divinity to download.

That was when GOG pulled the shutdown stunt.

...

I still haven't played the game. I PWYWed $1000 for Larian's bundle in 2012 tho.

Not in, cuz regional pricing.

happy birthday
Congratulations and +1. I'm In for Harvester OR* Master Of Orion 1&2

According to the purchase log on Gog, the first game I got was Empire Earth, But it was for free during a sale (but I did register 5 days earlier as shown by the date of acquiring the then 6 freebies so I'm not that of a cheapskate).
The second game was Fallout, another freebie.
The first game I actually purchased though was ARCANUM: OF STEAMWORKS AND MAGICK OBSCURA as a gift for my then Girlfriend (we're not together) and I bought her a gift of BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE GAME as well. Both of which show as (PAID WITH Free Order) even though they obviously cost money (talk about the site feels like still in Beta P:)
Finally, The first Game I actually bought for me and not as a gift was during the (first) Fall insomnia and was MASTER OF MAGIC - I really wanted for a long time and finally got at the bargain price of $1.19 (that the site lists properly).
This was the breaking of the dam and I bought several more titles in that sale and got hooked to the community as well :)

* The reason why I still don't have Master Of Orion 1&2 on Gog and can't make myself to buy it is because I bought Master Of Orion 2 on CD long ago, it still works, and has No DRM to begin with - The digital copy is virtually the same... but still I think I ought to have it in Gog as well, so... I dunno :)
Harvester on the other hand is a game I most certainly never had before and heard... some stuff about it XD
Happy B.Day, Pretty great selection. Thanks for the give away +1 and I am in for The Adventures of Shuggy.

Got my first game on Jan 29, 2015 it was the first Witcher. After I pirated that game and later finished Witcher 2 which I got it from GOG for free via some promotion on the site. I decided that those game were so epic that there is no way I am not supporting them.

Guess what else was bought on that date? Witcher 3 lol xD

Edit: Also forgot to mention that I've been buying quite a lot since then. Hope my wife will not find out hehe.

You are doing a GOG only giveaway...WOW cool

I am in for Bards Tale.

My furst purchase was Aquanox 1 and 2 along with Undying together.

I tried installing and playing Aquanox 1. It started well, cutscene and intro went just fine.

But then my mouse won't work properly. Turns out Aquanox 1 is not optimized for modern day gaming mouse. You need 90s mouse to play it. What a bummer.

I tried Installing Aquanox 2 then. I tried to start up the game. It just won't start. All I got was a black screen.

Steam and gog both dont have any patches for these problems in the games.

I had given up hope with old games until I tried installing and playing Undying. That game worked like a charm.

So two losses, one success.
That's a mighty impressive GOGversery, wishing you to be happy here and have many more.

And that's quite the splendid bag of gifts, cheers and +1.

The very first game I got on GOG was Broken Sword: (Director's Cut + The Original Game), but that was a freebie at the time.
The very first purchase I made on GOG was Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings, The. I was kind of introduced to the Witcher series by fellow GOGger Ghildrean who had kindly donated a code for Witcher: Enhanced Edition, The to a Witcher GA, and I was one of the lucky winners (cheers again, Ghildrean). Some time after, the Witcher games were on sale, and I got TW2 before even playing the first one.


I'd like to be in for Redshirt, please.

congratz and i'm in for:

Lovely Planet
Redshirt
Pid
Worms 2

its damn long time ago, when i did my first purchase here on gog. i could't even remember about it :)
but since the new account changes, we finally can see all our purchases. so my was riddick assault on dark athena, discounted 60% off. i don't know anymore through which webpage ad i got to gog but it was an ad about the riddick promo. anyway, after looking at the promo and after a little web reseach about gog and after discovering that gog offered DARKSTONE! i decided to get a goger and to buy riddick, probably because it was a damn cheap deal! and in the same month, just 2 weeks later, darkstone was on promo (60% off), so i purchased darkstone :)
Thanks for the giveaway, congrats on 6 years of GOG Goodness!!

I'm in for Tales Of Maj Eyal, thank you!

Turns out my very first GOG purchase was nearly 6 years ago as well, and it was Fallout. I was a big fan of games that involved turn-based combat (Might & Magic 1-5, Bard's Tale 1-3), but I never adapted when real-time combat became the norm. I remember watching a friend introduce me to Fallout while at his place, showing me the SPECIAL System and the Traits & the Perks and everything, and I was very impressed. I had only played fantasy style games until then, and this new (to me, anyway) post-apocalyptic setting was so dark and dreary...ironically, I found that to be refreshing! I figured for just $5.99 (GOG wasn't running constant sales back then, so I was content to pay full price) and knowing I could have it perfectly preserved for life via digital download, it was worth checking out first hand. Awesome decision on my part, I just fell in love with the whole thing!
