Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga

hintfishy says: I still have this on the original 6 CDs and it STILL gets play. BG was the first really good computer RPG, a massive step up from adventure games and streaks ahead of the admittedly fun Eye Of the Beholder type games.

Baldur's Gate 2 Complete

hintfishy says: Where else do you go after BG than BGII? Another Bioware classic and an opportunity to play at the higher levels. Like BG, it's not quite D&D but it's close enough to get your fix if there is no real game going on.

Temple of Elemental Evil, The

hintfishy's rating:

250

hintfishy says: I may be biased here. The paper-based TOEE was the first scenario I played with a real tabletop game group and I have fond memories of the scenario. I think it says something that this game revives those memories rather then leaving me disappointed.

hintfishy says: I missed this at the time so it was great that GOG let me go back and start in on another chapter in the pre-Neverwinter digital Forgotten Realms. This was an era when the video games were still canon and you have to love that.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)

Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!

So, what are the ingredients?

Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn\'t quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?

Justify your choice... Or not!

OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you\'re done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
