60% off Descent, Freespace, MDK, Earthworm Jim, Giants: Citizen Kabuto and more!

Knees weak, arms are heavy. There's discounts on our website already, mom's spaghetti. This weekend things get nervous and serious as a catalog containing some of our greatest classics levels up, and gets really, really . It's discounts at a flat 60% off, complete with a fresh batch of bonus goodies to complement your games! [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/weekend_promo_interplay_intensifies_290515]<span class="bold">[interplay intensifies]</span>



We loove giving you more bang for your buck, and we love going the extra mile just for a chance to see all the various goodies and materials that make up gaming history. Among today's games on promo you can find the following goodness:

--Battle Chess 1 + 2 get manuals and a reference card! While the game in DOSBox does have an online manual of sorts, this PDF of the original manual is much nicer to look at and gives a better feel for the original game. The reference card provides players with some basic tips that are not found in the manual that delve deeper into how the game works. All in pristine condition that gives players all of the necessary information required to master the game.
--Die By The Sword Cuss Pack is an official Interplay patch of sorts that adds expletives to the main character's sound files making for a more visceral dying experience.
--The MDK "Making of" booklet (donated by user lmfsilva, thanks!) gives a detailed background into the company known as Shiny Entertainment, along with some details about the creation of the first MDK title.
--Redneck Rampage gets the Rides Again manual (donated by Foxhack!) - a manual with additional information on the expansion for Redneck Rampage.
--And finally, there is the Stonekeep Thera Awakening Novella: An important piece of history that is quite heavily referenced to inside the actual game. While it is possible to complete the game without this novella, the experience without it is simply not the same. You can also read the whole thing in German, thanks to the generous Kilmex.



<span class="bold">[interplay intensifies]</span> with tons of new bonus goodies for some of the greatest Interplay hits ever, including more classics like the Descent series, Earthworm Jim, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, and more! Everything on sale until Tuesday, June 2, 3:59 AM GMT.

Celton88: I'm reading a number of the reviews and it looks like some of the interplay games have increased in price since they first where released, Sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Kabuto. They were $5.99 and now are $9.99. Is there a comprehensive list anywhere that tracks these?
The games that had their price increased are all those that now cost $9.99 (aside Toonstruck, which isn't featured in the promo, though). Those are:

- Descent 1+2
- Descent 3 + Mercenary
- Earthworm Jim 1+2: The Whole Can o' Worms
- F/A-18E Super Hornet
- Freespace 2
- Giants: Citizen Kabuto
- Kingpin: Life of Crime
- Messiah
- Sacrifice

These are mainly the titles I want the most, so it's no surprise they're the ones that went up in price. I'm still unsure if I should snag these now or see what the Summer sales bring...

guppy44: I still have my big box version of this game for my 3DO. :)

dick1982: not sure if you're baiting me since you have a Valve(THE ENEMY!) avatar. but i'll bite.

i've never seen a real 3DO my entire life in my country. i've seen Atari Jaguars, PC-Engines and Wonderswans in the past, but never a 3DO. unless there're hipster gamers in this country who actually bother to import a 3DO, there's probably zero 3DOs on this isle.
So I did manage to find my 3D0 and take a picture for you. Here she is in all her glory. I also have the 2 wireless controllers hooked up. These were crazy awesome back in the day and allowed for 2 players rather than 1 (there is only one controller port in the system) and wireless was amazing back then. :)

Personally, I doubt they will receive a higher discount during summer. One thing you could do, though, would be to buy those games now, don't touch them till the summer sale ends, and if they didn't receive a higher discount, just download them and play. If they do end up receiving a higher discount, though, you can ask for a refund (provided you haven't downloaded any of them and no more than 30 days have passed) and buy those games at the lower price.
Seems like the promo's duration has been extended for another 4 hours.
