Classic lovers rejoice, as today we welcome 3 awesome retro games from Strategy First! Let’s give a warm welcome to:

688(I) Hunter/Killer (-80% until October 3rd, 1 PM UTC)
The most realistic submarine simulation of its time. In this 1997’s title you’ll master the sonar and weapons control systems, learn to develop real target situations and outfit your boat with the latest advanced weaponry. Then use your skills to complete the tour of duty and earn your dolphins to become a true submariner.



Dangerous Waters (-80% until October 3rd, 1 PM UTC)
This one allows you to take total control over multiple air, surface, and submarine platforms in a modern-day naval environment. Take direct control of individual crew stations and also plan and execute combined arms naval strategies from a top-down “Commanders Eye” perspective.



Seal of Evil (-80% until October 3rd, 1 PM UTC)
A mythical take on the tumultuous time marking the fall of the Zhou imperial dynasty. Out of this chaos emerges an uncompromising ruler, Ying Zheng, who has vowed to either unify China or bury it in fire. A true isometric RPG!



Check them all out and make full use of the discounts!

All welcome additions of course, but particularly glad to finally have Seal of Evil joining Prince of Qin in the library, cheers.

Ah, a time when diablo clones were good. Been waiting for Seal of Evil. The other two classics are also worth it.

The "L" is missing.

Wow, Dangerous Waters released without any screenshots. I wonder if it was a last minute deal?

That time has been always since they've existed. There've been good ones and stinkers all throughout.

I don't think I ever heard of this one...but it looks like it might be right up my alley.

Odd to see no screenshots on a game page.
And there are some duplicate ones for Seal of Evil, and others really low quality, as if they were captured from compressed video, and an entirely pointless gameplay video.
They do look like they were last minute deals. Anyway, nice that they were added.

Prequel ;)

edit: GOG, can we also have Dragon Throne: Battle of Red Cliffs & Three Kingdoms: Fate of the Dragon here, please?

Might as well just read: "Here's our game! Buy it!"

Happy to see Seal of Evil here (same developer as "Prince of Qin").


I own the official CD and I'll buy it again, hoping that GOG has improved it technically because:

- On Win7, CD drive was running for minutes getting hot and making crazy sound before the installer launched

- On Win10, CD drive wouldn't work properly so I had to copy CD files directly to hard drive and install from there, typing the folder path for CD 2 when asked

- Once installed, game wouldn't launch because of CD driver so I had to use a noCD crack (I hate doing that for security reasons)

- Intro videos wouldn't show (but you could hear their sound)

- There were resolution issues solved only by using dgVoodoo2

- Game would close and return to desktop after (invisible) intro, so I had to change my desktop resolution to 800*600 or 1024*768 (supported by the game) to run it

- Had to use administrator mode and Win XP compatibility

- There were broken quests... that were solved installing the game not on default "protected" C: but on "data" F: hard drive. I suspect that the game wasn't authorized to write in its own folder so quests' progress wasn't registered.

- Uninstaller wasn't working so I had to do it manually (cleaning registry manually too)


Actually having this game run was a puzzle game in itself ;-)

Screenshots for "Dangerous Waters" are up now.

Better late than never. :)

To be played before or after Prince of Qin?

Is anyone here familiar with the game? Is it worth it?

I think it doesn't really matter. ;)
