Most of my collection; I seriously missed out on PC gaming, despite growing up in the 90s. Probably something to do with mine being a Mac household. Had some great times with Macworld magazine shareware CDs though.

I lost a few years to modding games, so there are lots of games I’ve never heard of in the Catalog here.

I got all of these as curiosity buys, and was pleasantly surprised.

Planescape Torment
Ground Control 1 and 2
Evil Genius
Independence War 2 – Edge of Chaos
Nexus – The Jupiter Incident
Silent Storm 2/3
Fallout Tactics
Divine Divinity
Warlords Battlecry 3

These are just the “old” ones I have on my Shelf, and had a chance to play through, or play enough to know I want to play through, that I had not heard of before coming to GOG.com.

The Gothic Series, Deponia, and the Divinity series. Also, although I had heard much about it, I never played Planescape Torment until I bought it here. My RPG collection is practically complete because of GOG!

Defenders Quest. The demo got me hooked up, bougt the game and spent hours and hours of fun with it.

Haha, yeah, know how that feels. Though I still have to get the Gothic series (didn't have any money during the least promo), but then I think I'll own most of the good ol' RPGs in existence :D


Except it isn't a good old game :D I'm currently playing it too though and it's quite good =)

Anyone else? I've been hearing a lot about "crap" games, but not much about good old game experiences, so I thought I'd bump this to even things out.

Already mentionned Divine Divinity and the Jagged Alliance series, but I hadn't posted about :

Master of Magic

an incredible cool game, merging civ with homm, with simple old graphics that for some reason haven't aged. Gameplay feels both deep and light, everything seems logical and intuitive, infinite replay value, and every session develops into a huge epic you just can't get away from.

Hmm... King of Dragon Pass (1999). I hadn't known this game even existed until it appeared here.

I had never heard of King of Dragon Pass before, and would never have played it if not for this site. Great, great game. I got a copy of it for my brother, who's not a big gamer, and he really liked it. I also got a friend to buy the game for the soundtrack alone.

Dragonsphere (one of the ten free games GOG gives you when you register) is an amazing game I had never heard of before. I've always been an avid point-and-click adventure enthusiast, so I installed it and, to my surprise, the game was way better than I would expected.

The Might and Magic RPG series (for now I only finished Isles of Terra, M&M2 was a bit to grindy without any goal in sight).

I was/am playing the Heroes series from start to finish with most time spent on II and III, but the RPGs never looked interesting compared to them.

Based on my time spent playing Might and Magic II and III, I couldn't have been more wrong about these games.
They do have the same crack cocaine effect as the Heroes series, just pushing you forward to do just that one more dungeon, lvl up, town...
The simplicity to just pick it up and start playing is the same, but with enough stuff to figure out and build later on to keep it interesting.

I realized you didn't share yours :P. Or was it Beneath the Steel Sky?

Guilty as charged and good thread to balance the scales.

I am relatively new to pc gaming and have only used this site to buy any games with the exception of Mass Effect 2. Anyway, here's my list of games I've discovered here and enjoyed:-

- The Witcher
- Two Worlds
- Sacred Gold
- Icewind Dale 1 & 2
- Baldurs Gate 1 & 2
- Neverwinter Nights 1
- The undisputed champion of RPG's, Planescape Torment
- Divine Divinity
- Nox
- Arcanum
- Outcast
- Torchlight
- Chronicles of Riddick
- Theif 1 (yet to play 2 & 3)
- Gothic 2
- Deus Ex
- Anachronox (I slated this game yesterday but was being too harsh)

Hope the redressses the balance and thanks GOG.

Someone make me remake of Shuffle Puck Cafe's Amiga version :)

I didn't think anyone cared about mine, lol.

I discovered the world of Beyond Good and Evil here, pretty darn magical in a way. Gorgeous music of course. (I got to the final boss, but never truly finished the game.)

Little Big Adventure 2 was another "magical" game that I've never completed, but I really enjoyed the imaginative atmosphere.

Unreal Gold - with its towering landscapes, intriguing story and stunning soundtrack - pulled me in. I actually finished this one, despite getting stuck on some of the button puzzles a few times.

Postal 2 is definitely not for everyone, but I already had fantastic memories about imagining what one could do in this game from years back. I played the demo to death, and when I finally picked up the game, it turned out to be more than just a gore fest. You could play how you wanted to - run around, search for secrets, enjoy the colorful or sometimes surprisingly lush scenery. Unlocking new areas felt like rewards for completing the missions, and Postal Dude's voice combined with the sarcastic spoken dialogue parodying the American Way was great. The world was much smaller than GTA, but it paid attention to detail.

Serious Sam:Second Encounter was a great shooter that just kept getting crazier and crazier. The humor often made me chuckle, too. I actually had to use cheats on the final boss, but I've actually finished this whereas I have yet to finish Serious Sam 2.

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is a platformer I actually really enjoyed. It's been quite some time, but the running, gunning, and jumping worked well together.

Beneath a Steel Sky is an adventure game I enjoyed for the characters, dialogue, and music. In some games of the genre, the people populating the area feel so strange or out of place, but the main character felt like a normal guy, his snarky robot was likable, the fat guy was a jerk but had the personality you expected, etc.
