GOG.com: ...classic games brought back to modern computers by Piko Interactive.
Some nice games in the Piko Sale.
Someone recommends the Star Trek titles, especially the adventure ones? How's the difficulty?
Nothing for me since I own every single game in this sale.
Hoped for eidos/square sale because other shops have those titles on sale with historical highest discounts.
It's been a while, this one used to be very frequent years ago. Are the Caens still in charge?
I was going to make a wisecrack about it being a hot minute since the last Interplay sale. Unfortunately I was a bit late to jump on it.
I've considered getting that Kingpin game numerous times. I played the demo back when it came out, but I'd always get slaughtered early in the game just wandering around the areas.

Also, has there been any confirmation if the "Reloaded" version is coming to GOG? I wonder if the original will be removed from sale once it comes out.
I would recommend Dragon Wars.

How is Stonekeep? How does it compare to other games of its genre (Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Lands of Lore, Anvil of Dawn)?

I remember that they were not immediate and one would need to rely on the manual.

The point and click ones are very fun but there are some bouts of moon logic.

It is a bit flawed, but I know you get enjoyment from RPGs that have worse flaws so I'm confident you're not gonna hate it. I can't compare it those games that I did not play tho, but I played Legend of Grimrock. Basically Stonekeep is LoG's somewhat clunkier grandpa with a fixed party (by which I mean a single main character and your secondary members that come and go from the party at preset moments in the story). As a whole I recommend it as long as you don't expect perfection.

In its favor, it has great atmosphere, a diary with automap, and you can scribble your own notes on this map.
Against it there is the terrible inventory system. There's also an apparently rushed ending, but I believe you won't mind it as much, given you were looking for an RPG with less focus on story.

The character's progression isn't based on random loot, but on skill points you achieve as you use each weapon.
It has plenty of mechanics you can (and you are definitely going to) abuse, like enemies that don't go through a door so they're easy prey for your ranged weapons.
If I could change anything on this game I would add strafe movement buttons like in LoG, so that I could search a whole wall for secret passages without turning to move to the next square and then turning again to look at the wall.

If you need more specific answers ask away.

now might be the time to jump on Kingpin finally, before the remaster releases
So on a scale of 1 to I Wanna Be The Guy, how hard is The Immortal?

Do we know they are gonna be merged into a single item? That the only way to get the original game will be to purchase the higher priced remaster, where the original will be included like it was done for example with Blood?
