A rebellious return of quality classics: Up to 75% off Evil Genius, Empire Earth Gold Edition, Darklands, and more!



Most of the time games go by their daily business peacefully, greeting each other on their way in and out of our hard drives. But leave them unnoticed for too long and these feisty fellas could very well start <span class="bold">A Rebellion of Retroism</span> that demands your immediate attention. To be fair, they have some pretty convincing arguments here, as the classics found in Rebellion's and Retroism's diverse catalogues are not to be overlooked by anyone. And did you see the discounts featured on the placards they are holding? These are a true riot.

Ruling the planet is not an easy task but you have 500.000 years to perfect your resource gathering and real-time warring techniques in order to establish your very own, stable Empire Earth. Better get started.

Why be a law-abiding, politically correct do-gooder when you can enjoy the flamboyant, colorful life of an Evil Genius? Put your world-domination plans into action, squash the meddling forces of justice that aim to thwart them, and fill your underground lair with maniacal laughter.

Ever dreamt of becoming a fighter pilot? Just jump into the cockpits of the Falcon Collection and wake up inside an experience full of the realistic dangers and thrilling intensity that comes with mastering the craft of air combat.



Get 66% off the entire Rebellion catalogue and 75% off almost every Retroism game. This is a true <span class="bold">Rebellion of Retroism</span>, featuring trailblazers like Sid Meier's Colonization, Lords of the Realm: Royal Edition, Silent Service 1+2, Darklands, and more. The promo will last until March 29, 4:59 AM GMT.

tfishell: Buy Pajama Sam, and we need the other Humongous and Retroism games here. :)
Sorry, no money for that right now. :P

Splatsch: Looks tempting... But being myself a rookie in flight-sims, I'm not sure :P (I never played a real flight simulator)
The good thing is that there are a lot of video tutorials about F4 BMS on youtube. The bad thing is that you'll need a substantial amount of time to go through them. No need to mention the bulky manuals... :P Anyway, there are many options to disable in-game to make the game a little easier but ultimately it's up to you and how much free time you can spend. Another recommendation is IL-2 Sturmovik (IL-2 1946 on GOG) - much easier because there are not many subsystems in WWII fighters to learn about, although the difficulty in IL2 is different; more dogfighting so you should learn all the tricks to get out of a difficult situation etc. Of course, you should have at least some basic flight stick to control the aircraft in a flight sim - not much can be done with a keyboard or a gamepad.

Looks like I need to buy a joystick. Picked up the three flight sims.

And really, $2.49 US for the Falcon Collection? Combined, those titles were something like $150-$200 when new. Incredible value if you like flight sims.

Alien vs predator classic 2000 i never played the campaign,is it good? People on the forum say something about mouse issues in game. Otherwise i only played campaign from the 2nd game.

Well ... you buy new car for X money but after Y years, the car is worth Z money (or nothing). Eventually you have to pay for, that they drag away to the trash depo ...

It's a tough old bird, but fun nonetheless. It's from back when fps games were unforgivingly hard. I played on a Windows 10 laptop back in October with a USB mouse and no issues.

If you will buy it and want a bit better graphics (texture), install this:

AvP Classic Redux Mod:

And here is the main menu music replacement:

If you have crash problems after completing a level, look here for a solutions:

Hope GOG will one day release AvP 2.0 and than we can play with HD textures:

Nothing for me this time because no notable adventure games in it and because I have 7 new games from the other promo that need playing














...Weeeeell, but since I'm on a shopping spree, maybe I'll buy Lords of Magic. Poor thing is sitting on my wishlist for so long

True, but digital games don't deteriorate. Though our perceptions of them change with tech advancements. Still, $2.49... dang. That's a whole lot of flying around for very little money.

Until one accounts for buying a new joystick. ; ) Don't tell my wife.

A great selection of games. I can especially recommend Darklands, Colonization and Falcon.
Posted March 25, 2016
Picked up the Falcon package.

I had a lot of fun with Falcon 3.0 back in the day, and i still look forward to experience Falcon 4.0+BMS with a warthog flightstick and VR headset.

Compared to the cost of the headset and flightstick, this is peanuts and too good to pass by.
