NIce article. Now finish your mission, GOG.com, and bring us Shivers 2, EcoQuest Series, Manhunter series, Gold Rush!, Dr. Brain series and all missing Coktel games. :p

Don't forget Hunter Hunted.

Remember playing Heart of China on my 286. Good times.

And a ton of missing Dynamix games :D

I've been looking to buy Rise of the Dragon and Heart of China for a long time now. But only 20% discount for 30 year old games?!
Greedy Activision bastards! I imagine that, if Call of Duty games were being sold here, we'd never get more than a 30% discount on them. Must be the "DRM-free tax" or something :P

TBH most of these prices look higher than I remember in recent sales.

Yeah, some of the prices really do. I think I remember the "Conquest" series being sold at 50%, but not much higher. It seems Activision likes to "milk" their classics dry.

All "recent" Activision oldies (like HoC or Shivers) had only 20% off at most. The only one that had very nice discout was Rise of the Dragon during january midweek sale, which was 75% off, but I think that was by accident.

Dang... I didn't notice it then, otherwise I'd have bought it immediately.

Rise of the Dragon only costs $6 without discount. 20% of $6 means more than, say, 20% of $60, so age of the game is irrelevant. Percentages only have meaning when you consider the amount the percentage applies to.

Note that there are free high quality remakes of Kings Quest I, II, II, and Quest for Glory II at:

I recommend Kings Quest III.

I see one of the commercial games from the company that made these remakes is also on GOG (I haven't tried it and not currently on sale):

Space quest 1 VGA and king's quest 1 sci still missing here.
Hopefully GOG will add these eventually.

Truth be told, I've enjoyed the most games released by Sierra which weren't adventure games - Missionforce: Cyberstorm, Hunter Hunted, 3D Ultra Radio Control Racers (someone remember that one? :))... So basically stuff developed by Dynamix.

Oh, and I will never, ever admit that Leisure Suit Larry series was good. Nor that Al Lowe was someone special amongst developers :P

But I would definitelly recommend everyone to buy Missionforce: Cyberstom. Discount is not big, but it's one of those games which are totally worth even their full price on GOG.
