Welcome to the 7th day of our sensational [url=http://www.gog.com/NoDRMSummer]2013 #NoDRM Summer Sale! Today, is a special day for the fans of classic adventure games. There's an amazing bundle of titles that all gamers who consider themselves connoisseurs of the genre simply need to have in their collection. Titles that came from the pioneers of this particular gaming pedigree, and in many ways defined what we consider a good adventure game. There's also an all-inclusive offer on a recent organized crime strategical sim complete with all of its DLCs. Let us fill you in on the details!

Today's Superb Sierra Collection bundle is your easiest way to complete your collection of some of the most celebrated adventure series of all time--that is: Sierra's "Quest" games. This memorable series nurtured generations of gamers with its amazing stories, deep and diverse gamplay, and unforgettable characters and puzzles. For only $24.72 you get the complete historical library containing all the "Quests". There's King's Quest 1-8 and Quest for Glory 1-5 for those who want to traverse realms of fantasy and magic. There's Space Quest 1-6 for fans of comedic Sci-Fi and space travel. Finally, for those who value solid law enforcement work, there's Police Quest 1-4 & Police Quest: SWAT 1+2. All packed together and available 69% off!

And then, there's the Omerta All-Inclusive pack with its solid 80% discount rate. If the price or the separately paid DLCs has put you off buying this diverse mafia game in the past, now's your chance to grab everything Omerta-related for just $10.96! Also note that the game was recently updated with many fixes and tweaks to the mechanics, as it's all outlined in the above trailer.

On a side-note: you might have missed our notice, but 60 games from Square Enix, Interplay, Bohemia Interactive, and Capcom, will be available with individual 50% discount only for the next 24 hours more. Check out their full list, so you don't miss out on the opportunity to get the games you planned on buying on sale.

That's it from us today. Have a nice afternoon, enjoy our 2013 #NoDRM Summer Sale, and come back tomorrow for more amazing daily deals!

TheScorpion: I simply don't understand why on friday they throw already every existing bundle...
If I didn't have cash right away knowing which bundles were upcoming would actually be quite useful; I'd know how much money I should save so I could pick it up when it appears. Granted if payday were next week or something I'd still have to hope the bundle I wanted doesn't appear until then.

Just a thought.

jamyskis: I'm contemplating it, but to be honest, I've heard so much bad word-of-mouth about the game (from personal acquaintances) that I really don't know.
Omerta (and it's DLCs) are overpriced. The current 80% off makes it a decent offer, though it still means paying $11 for a game you may not enjoy.

Strategic layer is too easy, though that isn't always a bad thing. Tactical combat could be better, but it is still quite fun. Story is more or less standard, without choices and consequences. There is a lot of henchmen though, and it does allow quite a bit of customization on your playstyle (melee, ranged, tommy guns, shotguns, rifles etc).

Personally, I'd say go for it.

Sure but the idea of wait to see what's the next bundle is completely dead now. the last three bundles (including this one) has all been included there already so there are no surprises anymore. The should have waited until the last day I think.

Oh, if I know anything about GoG, than that they will bring back all the bundles on the last day of the sale...again.
Just so...you know...in case, you missed one...

Was it greatly improved since the original launch with DLC and patches, ect.? Just curious, because, Yowwzaa, it sure got canned badly by almost everyone that bought it early. If it's been improved a bit, and at least a little challenging now, the 80% off may be worth a shot. Does the tactical element play anything like the new XCOM? Or is it just horrid?

TheScorpion: *snip*
They had one or two extra bundles during the winter sale, who knows they may do so again. For the most part, though, they did blow their wad already.

Omerta is still not worth it even at this price better gangster games on gog than this, sad has it had such great potential and the patches haven't really fixed or improved much

Simple than XCOM:EU (mostly due to less equipment choices). For the challenging part, I did play it on Hard back when it was on the "Buy Omerta, get Con Artist free", and it was ok. Didn't have much trouble, but then again I did take my time to properly build before going for the objectives. Since there isn't a time limit, there wasn't any problems to doing it that way. If you do enable Ironman though, long mission playthroughs may not be advisable.

Oh, and most of the low reviews were due to its price. TotalBiscuit found it interesting, but not $40 interesting. That's why I say that for $11 it may be worth it, if you like that kind of game.

Sounds like it's worth a shot for me then bud. I really like Gangsters, but there were times I feel like I am get a little bogged down, when I wasn't in the mood for that. So maybe this is a good choice for those times when I'm looking for some casual, easier type Gangsta gaming. Thanks for the insight bro :)

Wow! I don't have a single game from both bundles. I own roughly 1/3 of the whole catalog so it was not so easy to achieve ;) But let it stays this way. Sierra games are good, I'm not trying to diminish them but they belong to my past - I did mildly enjoy them when they were released but I don't see myself playing them ever again. And about Omerta... Well, I guess the price is finally fitting to the value it offers but with my backlog I'll just pass

Same for me. WIll probably risk it, not least because the retail version is Steam-infected anyway and the retail version isn't likely to go much below this price.

Thanks for the info JMich.

No Sierra game? No Quest for Glory pack or King's Quest 6? Shame on you!
