I used to play this game ~10 years ago, and i'm really glad to be able to play this polished and win7-compatible version!

Thank you GOG for being always able to steal a smile from your users! (or a "oh, snap!! like when i saw "Baldur's Gate" or "Temple of Elemental Evil" on the home page!) :)

Given that Gog didn't have to do anything I think they're being really generous by giving folks a free game. A lot of people are complaining that either: a) they already had the game or b) they didn't want the game to begin with. Hard to complain about free stuff. I'd be like complaining to Starbucks that you don't like coffee when they offer free coffee for a day. Glad to see that Gog did resolve the issue with people who already bought it though.

My only request to Gog (if they should ever decide to do something similar in the future - like reward people who have been members for a while or after X number of purchases) is that they consider folks who don't necessarily play the genre of game they are offering. For example I got JA as a freebie but I'll never play it because I hate strategy games with a passion. They're right below MMOs on my "will never play" list. Maybe, in the future, offer a small cross-section of games (perhaps 1 from each genre). That'll solve most of the complaints. Still, it is hard to complain about free...

Wow! Thanks GoG! I never played this game before, but I give it a try, and free stuff = good.

You are now forgiven, and then some!

thanks for letting me know, I just sent you an email to the address you provided in your thread :)

thanks GOG, i <3 you

The people of GOG are evil. I didn't purchase any of the Jagged Alliance games do to that fact that I didn't know if I would enjoy them. Now I have one, and I have to get the others! Like drug dealers, they get you hooked for free, and then they start charging! I was actually looking for a game like Shadow Watch. I had only played the demo, but I couldn't purchase it because it is such an old game. I had heard that the X-Com, and Jagged Alliance games were like it, but after being disappointed by the X-Com games, I just assumed Jagged Alliance would be a let down too. I was wrong. Because of this "gift" I will be paying them even MORE money. It's evil, smart, but evil. I don't care for the flash of these modern games that cost fifty dollars, but are no major step forward in gameplay. I would rather get a dirt-cheap classic that has stood the test of time, than a new game that offers nothing more than better graphics, and is hard to install due to outrageous DRM requirements, and costs a fortune.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

can't find hope
sum 41

Just because something is free does not somehow remove your ability to complain about it. This is nothing like Starbucks handing out free coffee and not liking coffee. GOG has *forced* a game into my game list that I do not want, have no interest in, and will never play and download. It's a taint. They didn't ask me if I would like to accept this free game, they simply forced it into my account. You might look at it as 'Hey, free stuff, cool'. I do not. I want the choice to accept it to be mine -- and I wouldn't have accepted, as I have no interest. So there you go.

I sent support an e-mail asking for it to be removed, but didn't get a response. Go figure. This on top of that "PR" stunt makes me very wary of wanting to keep doing any business with GOG. As a user I now have to accept that I will lose access to my account whenever the PR staff get a "great" idea, and that my games list is not my own to choose? That's not OK, even if it's done under the context of being a "gift".

You are weird. And Emualynk has cuter avatar than yours. Hmpf.

GOG, you guys absolutely rock.

EDIT: On a second thought, nevermind. I don't think I would achieve anything else than a flame war.

Try to be a bit patient, I'm sure they will respond eventually.

This gift is most appreciated by me, however, apparently the same cannot be said for everyone. Perhaps GOG should have done like they did with Tex Murphy 1+2 last year (was that last year? I can't remember) - for a limited time, the game could be "bought" for free, that way, only those who wanted it would claim it.

Gog, Thank You, Thank You and again Thank You.
