This week, we’ve prepared the greatest adventures from Activision--and more for a total of more than 50 games--[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/activision_weekend_promo_310513]all available for 50% off until Monday, June 3rd at 11.59 p.m. EDT.

If you like kings, and quests thereof, the best way to start your weekend is via our King's Quest collections. Kings Quest 1, 2, & 3; Kings Quest 4, 5, & 6, and Kings Quest 7 + 8 all combined tell a sweeping tale of generations of heroes who work ceaselessly to protect the magical realms of Daventry. With clever puzzles, charming graphics, moving stories, and a grand cast of characters, this series is one of the hallmarks of the adventure genre for a reason.

Maybe you're an adventurer, but one more in the vein of a hero of derring-do; a dashing rogue, a brawling fighter, or a wise and crafty wizard. No worries, we have just the thing for you: The Complete Quest for Glory series. Starting as a hero who's learned everything that the Famous Adventurer's Correspondance School has to offer, you begin in the town of Spielberg, determined to right the wrongs that plague the sleepy hamlet. Originally billed as "three games in one" due to the fact that different character classes dramatically change the style of the playthrough, this series takes you from the humblest beginnings of heroism to the grand and sweeping heights of fame and fortune. Travel the world, save the girl, and right wrongs. It doesn't get any better!

The Zork Anthology offers you the chance to play the original (like the first ever) adventure games Zork I, Zork II, Zork III, Beyond Zork, Zork Zero, and Planetfall. The Zork saga is text adventuring at its finest. Welcome to the Underground. Your greatest challenge lies ahead – and downwards. Return to Zork is rediscovery of the previous adventures, but now with graphics (live actors and video sequences.) and a superb soundtrack. Zork: Nemesis, another part in the franchise offers spectacular production value--Hollywood actors, dramatic live-action video, hypnotic ambient music and dazzling special effects. Zork: Grand Inquisitor is the last installment of the famous Zork adventure series. It uses the same formula as its predecessor: first-person perspective, 360 degree camera rotation, pre-rendered backgrounds, and live actors. Humor and comical pop-culture references accompany you throughout the entire game and guarantee that you will never get bored. So if you are looking for a not so serious oldschool adventure then this gem is for you. All games releases from Zork series are $2.99 on GOG.com this weekend only.

Visit the promo page and go on an adventure!
nice one
Wow! Brilliant sale, there's loads of stuff I wanted :D Now to resist spending money I haven't got...

I'll probably go for the games I've not already got on CD, but GOG copies of Spycraft, the Gabriel Knight series and Zork: Nemesis and Grand Inquisitor are too tempting... They're excellent games all, if you don't have those and you're interested in adventures, you need to go get them :)

yinan: Seriously GOG? Only 50% with Humble Indie Bundle, Groupees, and Amazon mayhem sale going live now?
What would be the correct discount? Should they sell the whole promo catalogue for $4 or so like HiB does?

Like John Ryder (Rutger Hauer) once said: "Crying isn't gonna help.". So vote with your wallet instead.

Pay what you want for the whole GOG catalog, beat the average for Omerta DLC.
With separate steam keys for each game.

No, but the very least they could do is increase the discount the more games you purchase
Well, there's the way to close out Mind Blowing May. Doesn't hurt that I've been waiting on this sale since January.
Is Phantasmagoria worth it? I usually suck at adventures and use a walkthrough, but does the story compensate? I will buy Arcanum, since I never finished it, but I'm wondering between Phantasmagoria, which I haven't played and Vampire, which I've played and liked? I would like to add it to my collection. It's just I don't feel that big a desire to play Phantasmagoria although the premise is interesting. Can anyone sell me on it?

Yeah I like that discount model myself, but earlier many people were complaining it is not fair to those people who want to buy only few of the games. :)

It's fair if the discount starts at 50%

Which GOG has done previously before

All I can do is tell you to check out Spoony's Let's Play of the second one.
Darn you Larry!

Indeed! Not only Mind Blowing May, but Wallet Blowing May for me :)

It's a cheesy FMV horror (Graham Masterton or Guy N. Smith style). Violence, some pretty controversial sexual content, rather predictable plot with many cliché elements.
The second one - more violence, more sex, really crazy (usually in a bad way) plot.
If you like this kind of things, grab it :)

Zeus+Poseidon and Vampire - The Masquerade: Redemption are must-buys.

Kunovski: do I need a fifth copy of Arcanum? ... maybe I do... :)

EDIT: Oh I know! I'll do a giveaway, and use it for spamming you guys. MWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!

HAHA!
