Modern vs 8-bit, Old-school vs New-school, Violence vs Parody

Retro City Rampage, a modern twist on classic arcade games and open-world story-driven adventures, is available for pre-order on GOG.com for $14.99.

Get in the car, drive, kill somene, avoid the police, find the police, get out of the car, ROCKET LAUNCHER, pedestrians drop coins--collect the coins, punch a cop, KABOOM, get underwater, jump, fly, CONTRA LEVEL, ride a bike, flamethrower, METAL GEAR! Plus a NES-inspired monophonic soundtrack by Freaky DNA (Leonard Paul), virt (Jake Kaufman), and Norrin Radd (Matt Creamer). Isn’t this everything you’d ever want from an indie game but couldn’t find anywhere?

Retro City Rampage is a mashup of genres, arcade challenges, pop-culture references, crazy ideas, wild humor, and open-world modern game mechanics. 50+ story missions, 30+ arcade challenges, 25+ weapons & power-ups, and special guest stars are more than enough to satisfy any retro-fanatic who decides to start a RAMPAGE OF DOOM through Theftropolis and defeat the EVIL GOOD GUYS.

Retro City Rampage is available on GOG.com for pre-order for $14.99 and will be released when you carjack the ‘80s at 88 MPH (or within a few weeks).

Cefairon: I wasn't really sure about a purchase. A little too much retro for my taste.
But I had to order it after I read you would get a gog copy as well. 3 copys for less 13€.
From the Dev website:

FINE PRINT - FOR CLARIFICATION
*License includes a DRM-Free version of the game and a Steam or GOG Key, but it is a single user license. This is not three copies of the game, but rather a single user license which includes your choice of multiple versions. This does not grant you the right to distribute the other versions to your friends. Keep DRM-Free software alive, please don't pirate.

Oh, misread it. This would have been too good to be true.
Still the price isn't that high. If I play RCR 3-4 hours it was worth it. ☺

I don't expected this great game from GOG. Nice job.

does anyone know the difference between the free stuff by buying from GOG and by pre-ordering from the game's official website?

they both appear to give:
the 10 bonus music tracks
the manual

but i'm not sure if the "printable door hanger," "game case insert," and "papercraft" here on GOG equate with the "digital game box and cartridge label" on the official site.

thanks for any help in advance.

The "game case insert" we offer here is the same as on the official site, if I understand you correctly. You are talking about the Sega Master System inspired insert, right?

i didn't realize they were on the downloads page. wow.... :D
anyway, i'm really just trying to determine the differences in the extras i would get depending on who i bought from.
i suppose it doesn't really matter. the game is the highlight after all. but extras are nice too. it seems that GOG offers more though.
one more question, buying through the official website says you get a GOG copy, does that entitle you to the GOG extras?

Yes, you should be entitled to the extras offered on our site :D.

The box offered by Vblank is not the same offered here. The one on Vblank is a "Print Ready 300 dpi; NES box and label dimensions Print and assemble your own box and faux-cartridge." We got a paper sega styled insert. If I had known that I would of bought directly from Vblank (the box looks pretty cool. And I would have gotten both...)

This game looks marginally entertaining, but the trailer vid missed the mark completely. I'm assuming the intention was to spoof early bad 90s video game tie-ins and corny TV marketing (Mario cereal anyone?), but was actually just a carbon copy rip-off of Tim and Eric and about twice as annoying. It actually made me not want to play this.
