Blade Warrior (-60%)
Action-adventure, fantasy side scroller. In this game you explore a strange and deadly world where the minions of Murk roam throughout the land. Defeating your enemies will be possible with advanced swordplay mechanics and ability to collect artifacts to increase your strength and to trade with the 7 Wizards. Craft spells using ingredients scavenged throughout the world and find the ancient stone archways to traverse across paths.




Theme Park Mystery (-60%)
2D adventure platformer in which you try to find the answer to what shocking evil lurks in your uncle's Magic Canyon Theme Park, drove the fun seekers away and made uncle insane. This fright-filled trip through a playground of peril presents 4 distinct levels each with their own unique gameplay style and themes: Dragonland, Dreamland, Futureland, and Yesterdayland. Defeat 8 demons scattered around the park. Each posing a unique challenge.




Savage (-60%)
Arcade action side scroller. Fueled by rage, the titular Savage plunges into battle wielding his huge axe in a berserk frenzy as he reaps destruction on all who stand in his way. Use all your skill, determination and lightning-fast reactions to battle the onslaught of seedy monsters and menacing skulls. Rescue your maiden and recover the special powers imprisoned deep in the castle's labyrinth. Savage captures all the fun of high-speed, arcade-action in one amazing, multi-challenging game.




Annals of Rome (-60%)
The 1986 classic DOS title in the form of a historical grand strategy. It's 237 B.C. and all of Italy has been united under the same Senate power of Rome. You are the ruler of the Republic, deploying armies and defending against the 13 independent hostile lands which constantly plot to destroy Rome.

A nice price for this many games, instabought. :)
Great to see so many classic games. Loved Interphase and Killing Cloud on the Atari ST
Always great to see more classic games arrive.
Finally! Surprised how long it took for these to come to GOG, they were released on Steam like 3 or 4 years ago, I expected a year's exclusivity at most. Bought them all on Steam after waiting a year, but I might pick up a second copy of a few of them.
So many games so little time to play them all :D More for the backlog i guess.
Very nice, picked up, all of them.
none of them are for me (played trantor on the c64 though), but more old games are always welcome.

GOG.com: Release: 8 great classics from Throwback Entertainment
The only game I definitely remember playing (on my C64), is "Trantor", and I think I may have encountered "Annals of Rome" (also on my C64), but without having a clue as to how to play the game, due to a lack of handbook, etc. coughcopieddiskscough...

With that said, out of these eight games, "The Killing Cloud", "Theme Park Mystery" and "Annals of Rome" (if only for old time's sake) are somewhat interesting to me.

But it sure is always nice, seeing such old games getting released here.
Graphically Blade Warrior has a lot of personallity, indeed. Interesting and great look even for today standards, good use of the limited pallette, good art direction. Apparently another of its virtues is the sprites walking anmations.
Never saw this game in movement but if it is true I guess that it can be similar to the surprinsingly realistics old ZX Spectrum adentures Dun Darach and Tir Na Nog
Wow, Interphase, Killing Cloud, Blade Warrior - never expected to see them again, awesome!
Old games are NOT always classic games.
As seen with this pack of garbage. Even back than those games were reviews with little than over 50%

You are right. But it is true as well for any indie or modern game published. They are labeled as classic because they are old (8 bits 16 bits). Classic is a book of Byron buy also the published one by a friend of him you never knew about. That's my idea.

At the end of the day, classic games are how users view them. There some old 90s and 2000s games I loved, but released they had mixed or bad reviews.
