75-90% off Duke Nukem 1+2, Duke Nukem 3D, Balls of Steel, Manhattan Project.

The Duke. Men want to be him, women want to be with him. The manliest of men, the ultimate male role model. He's been kicking ass on GOG.com for years, but on December 31 2015, Duke has to step out to get more bubble gum. On that day, all Duke Nukem games on GOG.com will be removed from our catalog, but we are in talks with the new rightsholders to bring them back as swiftly as possible. That's why we bid you a <span class="bold">farewell for now, Duke</span>: with every Duke Nukem game at 90% off as a bundle, or -75% individually.




The Duke's humble beginnings lie with Duke Nukem 1 + 2, two explosively cool run-n-gun platformers where Duke kicks his very first alien ass, travels in time, and authors "Why I'm SO Great" - a retrospective and autobiography. All in the year 1997, a dystopian near-future.

Years later, on January 29, 1996, our time: Duke makes history. Total meltdown follows the release of Duke Nukem 3D in which we finally see the world through the man's eyes. It's a world of pornography, violence, and candid obscenity. Duke's world. And we are entranced. By the campy risque, and by the unadulterated joy of Duke's violent adventures and one-liners.

Then, for years Duke rides the hype-train: in 1997, we behold his Balls of Steel - a pinball game warmly welcomed for its smooth, realistic physics and plenty of Duke on the side. In the year 2002, Duke goes back to basics in Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, a modern 3D sidescrolling platformer that's nothing if not a fun and mindless pleasure.




This is not where the Duke Nukem legacy ends, but it is where we part ways - for now. So <span class="bold">Farewell, Duke</span>! The sale will last until December 31, 10:59 AM GMT. The games will be removed from sale soon thereafter, but they will not disappear from your shelf if you're an owner.
Come get some.







Last chance to get Dragonsphere for free.
With the start of the new year, Dragonshpere will no longer be a free game on GOG.com due to new publisher agreements. If you haven't claimed a copy for yourself, make sure to do so by December 31, 22:59 PM GMT - afterwards the game will be regularly priced at $5.99.

If you haven't yet, you can also check out our catalog of gaming freebies, where you'll find classics like Beneath a Steel Sky, Biomenace, Ultima IV and ten more!

nightcraw1er.488: My question is, why is a currently free game now going to be charged at 5.99? Why on earth would anyone ever pay for it? Seems like there is a lot of this types of money grab going on here recently.
The game IP was bought by Night Dive, the free status of the game was due to GOG agreement with its previous owner - now this agreement had expire and ND want to capitalize on their asset.
low rated
not surprised coming from ""Shitbox". they destroyed Homeworld with their stupid ass steam DRM and the bugs in it and now this. Cant we all agree that randy needs to die from a disease so that his business crumbles

EDIT the low ratings proves my point that there are Shitboix fanboys that praise Randy as a god

Sounds to me like Duke will only be temporarily on vacation, possibly to go pick up some babes and look at himself in a mirror or something. Maybe when he returns he'll bring Forever along for the ride.

Dragonsphere transitioning to having a price is interesting, perhaps the money it brings in can fund the development of the highly anticipated Dragonsphere 2!!! Judas??

:)
Duke 3d...the first game I bought here. I think it was also the first PC game I bought too way back when. Hope it comes back for others' sakes.

Club Gearbox into the ground. And now they're making a new Homeworld game and releasing it only on steam. And no HW Remaster on GOG either.

Have to wonder how much they might actually make out of it. Existing customers would have it if they have their eye on the site. So to capitalise they really have to hope that GOG user based grows a lot more to get more eye balls on their game. Yes the new pricing would be consistent with steam.

I bought this game years ago on special in a hard cover book form with CD, such an odd package I picked it up for the AUD $4.95 price. So base price is a little much, but I guess they are hoping on sales on the game which lower the price to try and sell units. Still would be hard to recover from the $0 price history.

Nooo don't say that. I haven't got around to playing homeworld on steam yet (that I bought last special), I was living with the hope / delusion it might have been good.

IwubCheeze: Ummmmmm, GOG already stated that they were currently negotiating with the new rights holders. Isn't it a little too early to be spewing venom, bile and hate at Gearbox at this time?
avatar
orbika: Absolutely agree. You are right!
exactly , GOG is doing its best for there users, and we all know that the companies who ownrights of certain games are quite greedy, so the blame cant and should not be put on GOG but should be on the ones who have gotten the licence / bought the game/rights.
If fingers should be pointed out, it would be to the greedy people who own the rights are have just required the rights, and not to GoG.

Not Night Dive, but Tommo.

orbika: What do you mean?
Anyway, I would like to see some Duke Nukem Forever here on GOG ... do you hear me, Gearbox?

Smannesman: The Megaton Edition.
Ah, that one ... OpenGL graphics, better HUD + a ton of content. Nice :)
avatar
Smannesman: You could've saved yourself.. uh.. five bucks and change.
That's an expensive lesson, but now you know what do whenever you want to buy a game.
:P Since i joined i learned it's usually a lot cheaper to wait for things to go heavily on sale. :P Yet there's still a few games i'll pay more for to get it sooner... TIS-100 for example, love that game. At 20% off with it's launch i couldn't help myself.

Still i wasn't aware of the pattern GoG uses when putting out games or putting games on sale, so the deal went up on Friday and later on Monday when games were on sale i could have avoided getting Duke Nukem altogether.
