Thanks for the giveaway and the many nice classic releases today!
This is sure to garner brownie points from people here.
More old games and including tempest 4000 sold
Really nice and varied selection. Good to have X-Blades here so it can complete the set with Blades of Time.
RCT Classic, nice! I kind of already had it with RCT+RCT2 and OpenRCT, but it's still good to see coming. Now RCT3 needs to come back. It's a lot of fun (despite having some weird bits).
Many thanks GOG & Revolution Software for the Giveaway!

Also thanks for the Atari BYOB.
I have already the game, nevertheless thank you for the giveaway.
This is an excellent adventure game and is highly recommended.
glad to see more old games, even if they're not for me. already have rct1-2, no need to buy the repackaged version. zany golf takes me back but not paying this much.
Glad X-Blades is finally here, I was waiting for that ever since the sequel came here a long time ago but not X-Blades too like it should have.
Always glad to see old school titles make their way here.

The irony here is that the Director's Cut is not a Good Old Game, and without double checking, I would guess it's not a winner of too many awards either.

Now, the original game which fortunately comes with the DC version is one of the best adventure games ever made.

Also, you don't follow Nico in the original game at all, her parts are bad add-ons to the original game, which break the flow of the original game entirely.

I highly recommend everyone to play Broken Sword, just be sure to choose the actual Good Old version of it.
That's a nice variety of games. May pick up X-Blades, which seems to be the forerunner to Blades of Time, and Tempest 4000, even if it's not supposed to be as good as Tempest 2000.

Never figured out the point of RCT Classic since it didn't come out until after the OpenRCT2 project was already in full swing. All the reviews and impressions I read about it point to the latter being a much better way to experience RCT1&2, and new features, fixes, and improvements for that are still going. OpenRCT 2 is also one of the easiest open source projects to install I know of: Install games, install OpenRCT 2, point to game folders... done.

So for the how many thousandth time has Broken Sword been given away now? =P

This is one hell of a damage control thread, following up on two from last week.

I wish different versions\editions always had their own page (instead of being put in the extras), so I could just hide the bad ones for good.
