Wow this is one of the most impressive promos i have ever seen!

Many genres included: from military sim and space sim to adventure and RTS.

Highly unlikely not to please everyone

I predict many unforeseen expenses and broken budgets this weekend. :)

I've played the Alone in the Dark series before, and still have the boxed version of AitD 2 (includes the first game). So this is tempting, but I haven't played most of the other games on the list. Blood a little, but never finished it.

I do want to sell all my boxed games though. I wonder how much the original Alone in the Dark 2 (big box version) is worth anyway?

Thanks ill get the first one to start and get the 2nd one later

Awesome, back to the good old 50 % off sales instead of the dingy new sliding scale. I realize the difference is only a few bucks, but the psychological impact in terms of making me impulsively buy games is immense (just picked up TA, Witcher, RCT 2, Outcast, and master of magic).

Are any of the space/flight sims on sale games that a complete newb in the genre could get into? I have absolutely no experience with flight/combat sims, but I'm interested in trying one. That also means I don't have a joystick or any form of flight control beyond M&KB.

An awesome promo, but I'm not sure I'm going to buy anything - nothing there jumps out at me and my backlog is already huge. Plus I already bought the whole D&D promo last time and I think that's enough of my money I'll give Atari for a while :)

I think eventually you'll buy something from this promo :)

Those are the company's big money makers on this site (Atari I mean) they're unlikely to put them in a promo like this, unless they feel really generous at Christmas.

They were just on sale recently, so I doubt very much that they'll be on sale again for quite some time.

EDIT: Also, they're now Hasbro titles or something along that line.

Wow, if GOG reads this after last week's complaints its head will explode :D

Most likely, but I don't know what. I'm not much of a strategy gamer, though I already have MoM 1+2 and MoM. Own AitD 1 from a magazine and wasn't too crazy with the first 15 minutes of it, own Outcast on a CD, own Blood 1 on a CD (w/o expansion), own Witcher on Steam. Maybe the Independence War games, but I saw that people have been having trouble running them accelerated....

Then again, I owned half the games from the D&D promo on CDs/DVDs and I got those anyway....

I know it sounds a bit silly but Last week it was the exact same problem for me

The maximum possible discount that was available last week was only 50% and that was only when you bought a certain number of games

As I said previously, if the maximum possible disount is 60%-70% for buying more titles at once then I always take advantage of the offer

This week...I'll pass

Now that I think about it...in this regard Steam is much better

Weekend deals of 60-80% off

Midweek madness usually 50-75% off. This is every week not once every 2 weeks

Not to mention specials everyday

GOG still has a long way to go to catch up to them in terms of what they can offer in Sales and Special offers

In my experience M&KB just makes all space/flight sims too difficult.

B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th is a bomber sim. Even though I have never played it, trying out bombers in other sims, even though they are slow planes, I find I still need a joystick to control them properly.

I-War may be more suited for M&KB control because you control a hulking capital ship and the Newtownian physics means big ships take time to manoeuvre. I don't remember much about I-War except that there was more focus on ship management than quick and easy space combat. I still pulled out the joystick for the game though.

Someone else that have played these games more recently could tell you more.


If you have a joystick and willing to buy a game not on sale, the Wing Commander series are easy space sims to get into.

I like that you don't have to get the bundle to get the savings. I picked up Witcher and may get Master of Orion 1 & 2 this weekend.
