dunno, I did preorder (on the basis the last Be Mine I preordered had couple of bits for me and plenty of things people had wishlisted I could give away), similar this time - very happy with the DRM free copy of Forest of Doom (my original edition book is missing, so this is a nice, cheap replacement), and theres a few bits I see others have wishlisted via the evil spleen of Steam! - for the price, happy enough with that.

...and at least its not ALL platformers! :D

When I was a kid, I had several of Ian Livingstones's and Steve Jackson's gamebooks and so I'm quite happy with The Forest of Doom in this bundle. Besides that only The Barbarian looks like somethinbg that I might play and the first musical bonus isn't too bad (the second one seems to be good too).

I don't regret paying $2.50, but I hope that the mystery game is a good (DRM-free) one and that we also get some more nice bonuses (in that case I might even increase my payment).

- actually that as well - like those kinds of games, but playing with the mouse gives me bad arthritic pains, so the fact this one is meant for a controller means I can give it a go without being too "eggshell" about my playing.

That's a good point! The Forest of Doom is quite a nice game, I just failed to mention I already owned it. =P

I'll chime in, too. Of course I pre-ordered it as well.

I'm stoked about "Forest of Doom". Looks like a lot of fun. "The Barbarian" might be as well, but there's no download link yet on my product page. "Inquisitor" is the only other DRM-free game, but it's part 2, so I'm not going to start there.

On a side note, "Run or Die" is Steam-only... but I started a dialog with the developer and he was kind enough to send me a DRM-free build. I've already played it a bit - brutally difficult for us old-and-slow gamers! I can't even make it out of the tutorial! I'll let my kids have a go at it.

The rest is Steam crap, so the jury is out on whether this was worth my $2.50. We'll see what the Mystery Game and further bonuses hold...

first part was in another (Be MIne I think) bundle - maybe about a year ago.
dont like the idea of adding sequels myself, but then... for those that bought the prior bundles, I suppose its a nice deal
so did i - pristine, signed, first edition... gone!

- have a feeling my dad chucked it out (along with a load of other stuff) when his alzheimers set in bigtime.

Was Nicholas Eymerich's The Inquisitor: Book I ever bundled before?

Yes, as Sachys already said, it was Groupees bundle - https://groupees.com/tuesday2

Don't know if it was mentioned, but if you don't have a Playfire account, you can get 4 free steam keys (clicky,pid,rabbit hole 3d, & Rooms) by signing up for a new account (must click subscribe to newsletter) then linking your Steam account.

The Playfire site says that the games are free only with purchase of a certain game, however new users just get the keys for free even though there is no mention of it. Be patient though, it took about 8 hours for the keys to be emailed to me.

Your avatar isn't from Shigurui, is it ?

I think it's Kurozuka.

Well worth it just for Forest of Doom, IMO. I really wish Tin Man would release the Grail Quest gamebooks. They announced a couple of years ago that they were working on them, and they were some of my favorite things ever when I was in my early teens.

My bad thank you for the correction :)
Any chance torchlight is DRM free or for Mac?

It's for Mac and DRM free so tempted but can't figure out what the hell the "game book" is. any advice on if the buck is worth it?

its a "choose your own adventure" book - a combination of rpg and the likes of ZORK.
Edit: if you mean "forest of doom"
