Time for another fascinating trip to the past. Today a group of 7 classic titles returns to modern computers thanks to the efforts of Ziggurat Interactive and GOG.COM. These games represent different genres but have one thing in common – they’re highly enjoyable!

Battle Engine Aquila is a dynamic shooter game from 2003 where you must battle for the most valuable asset in the flooded world – the dry land. Become a pilot of Battle Engine Aquila, a machine with versatile mobility and awesome firepower.



Last Rites is an action-packed FPS from 1997 in which your finger will never leave the trigger. As the dead climb out of their graves, your only chance for survival is to grab a gun and send them back where they came from.

Les Manley in: Search For The King is a spicy point-and-click game from 1990 about pursuing happiness. You follow the story of a tech specialist named Les Manley as he tries to win an Elvis impersonation contest and gain the affection of the girl of his dreams.

Les Manley in: Lost in L.A. is the second game from the adventure series by Accolade. This time our hero is pursuing a stalker who has been kidnapping celebrities. Les Manley must scour La La Land, sifting through actors, rock stars, and gorgeous babes, to unravel the mystery.

You can also grab both Les Manley games in one bundle at a lower price.

Machiavelli: The Prince is a management game from 1995 with action set in the 15th century. Your goal is to skillfully use available resources and diplomacy to win world domination. Use all means, including bribery, piracy, and assassination, to achieve this goal.



Return of the Phantom is an adventure game from 1993 with a story penned by James Bond novelist, Raymond Benson. It seems that the legendary Phantom of the Opera has returned! As Inspector Raoul Montand, you are the only one who can stop the mysterious foe.

Timequest game is an adventure from 1991 that takes you to four continents and across three thousand years of history where you face a mystery, intrigue, danger, and death as you untangle a masterful web of deceit to catch and bring the time-traveling criminal to justice.

Adrenaline boost, mystery and cunning intrigues – every gamer will find something for himself here. All classic titles mentioned above await your revisit or discovery. Get these and other classic games at 33% off during Ziggurat Publisher Sale that runs until 18th September, 1 PM UTC.
Definitely will go for the Les Manley series, Return of the Phantom and Last Rites.
I made a small mistake, first one ever ....

i bought Les Manley in: Search For The King @ 6.99 eu sale: 4.69 eu

Lateron i noticed the bundle with two games

so i missed one game , could not find that one seperately to buy so i bought the bundle: 5.49 eu

now my purchase (Paysafecard) looks like this

see: lesmanley.png

I assume the amount will be the same as if i bought the bundle ?

screenshot01.png shows it in my account:

the bundle shows 5.49 EU
and the games show 4.69 EU each
thats more then 5.49 number that shows up in the bundle....

Is there a way to enable windowed-mode in Battle Engine Aquila?
"Time for another fascinating trip to the past. Today a group of 7 classic titles returns to modern computers", BUT when Chasm The Rift will be awaliable at Gog store??? So great game from my childhood!!! I've try to play it through Oracle VirtualBox + Windows 98 + Image (ISO) of Game, but game doesn't want to start... I REALLY WANT TO PLAY IT SO MUCH, but because of fuck*ng progress (in Hardware and Sofware) I can't do that!.. What a cruel world.
Aparently, for now, The Les Manley Bundle is being the most sold of the bunch. Followed by Battle Engine, Return of the Phantom, Time quest, Machiavelli the Prince and Last Rites in that order respectively.

I hadn't noticed at first that for now approx half of them are GOG exclusives.
All I gotta say is thanks to GOG and Ziggurat interactive. Reminds me of the good ol' Retroism days where I filled my GOG shelves with classic goodness. Also the trailer for these newly released games is very well made. Props to the team.
Just bought Battle Engine and Machiavelli on a whim after a 10 months "fast" of gog purchases. Thought I could wait an entire year but nah. No biggie.

Will dig these long awaited classics thanks to you all. Thanks a ton and cheers!

Panaias: Awesome releases!

Also, kudos to people at Ziggurat for creating promotional videos for each of their published games, no matter how old. It shows professionalism.
Yeah precisely what I meant. First publisher to do that in here if I'm not wrong. That's a huge plus!

Talking about Hollistic Software, the designers of Machiavelli the Prince and Warhammer Final Liberation.

It would be great Ziggurat took the rights of a relatively obscure title from those developers: Emperor of the Fading Suns, a huge, deep and complex Space 4x in the vein of Master of Orion and some of Star general with Lore and visuals that reminded me a lot of Game of Thrones and Dune.

Problematic to run with new Systems, though.

llamas: There's also a point and click remake of Gateway on AGS that is an option.
Did not know about that - awesome, thanks for the hint.!

Alos thanks to gog and ziggurat for bringing Time quest and Phantom here, unfortunately Control already drained my budget for this month :o(

MartiusR: How "accessible" is Machiavelli the Prince? Is there some in-game tutorial?

I didn't play it earlier and I'm not a big fan of those merchant/economic games, but I must admit, that this game looks very interesting.

MarianFA: Just found a manual online and it shows there being a tutorial.
can you tell me where you found the manual online?

Classic games, released in clips like this helps to call back on GOG as the GoodOldGames that we remember. A visit to Ziggurat's website was a nice way to browse titles of short and distance past. A smile seeing "The Dame Was Loaded" renews my hope that someday Mad Dog McCree and Who Shot Johnny Rock may surface.

Hmm, looking on the manual (thanks for link BTW) it seems that game doesn't have "in-game" tutorial, it's "launch the new game with settings we've described and do step-by-step as manual says".

Sorry, that seemed like a tutorial to me. But I understand the distinction. :-)
