GOG.com is extremely happy to tell you that while the <span class="bold">very successful "Battle of the Games"</span> has ended, our plans for an exciting summer have only just begun. Following the 66% off Alan Wake series promo, which will be over in two hours, we have prepared something indie fans will love. [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/release_promo_indie_drop]<span class="bold">Today, we’re dropping four releases and dropping their prices a neat 50%.</span>

For the next 7 days, four great indie titles: Gemini Rue, DEFCON, Multiwinia, and Uplink are available 50% off. Gemini Rue is a tense, surprising, and challenging sci-fi point-and-click from the publishers of Resonance and the Blackwell Bundle. DEFCON is a Global Thermonuclear War Simulation in which you prepare your military forces, and nuclear silos, make or break alliances with other superpowers, and finally, fire zee missiles! Multiwinia is the multiplayer-focused (but not multiplayer-only) sequel to Darwinia, a fantastic RTS with simple game mechanics, but great strategic depth. Uplink is a hacker simulator--not your typical game, but strangely entertaining and believable.

Visit the Summer Indie Drop promo page to get DEFCON, Uplink, Gemini Rue, and Multiwinia for 50% off until Thursday, July 19 at 04:59 AM EDT.

tfishell: Still, as I said elsewhere, maybe the staff are taking it slower during the summer months. (Not sure how vacation works over in Poland, admittedly)
Howdy!
We're out of the office, sadly, so your post will likely not be read for quite some time. Your post received ticket number 463800567.
We're coming back to the office mid-September. See ya then!

tfishell: Okay. :(
But seriously, you can expect some older releases from the 90s in coming weeks. We're trying hard to stick to the "something old+something new+something indie" each week, but the problem is that some of the Good Old Games are FUBAR and fixing them is sisyphean labor.

grviper: You should start picking titles based on how easy they are to dosbox. Stuff like Dementia will never run on anything, but a virtual machine.
It's not like we have 1000s of them :) and be like "It doesn't work? OK, gimme another!".
DOS games are one thing and Windows games another--often we have games that had two or three different builds and each of them is dead.

tfishell: Well I appreciate that you guys don't give up easily, willing to go until all options have been exhausted (for the time being) or the game works.

FKSSR: @MDyzzle : I'm not sure if you can really answer this, but I was wondering if GOG is committed to supporting newer games in the same way as the older games. In other words, if Windows 9 or 10 doesn't run Gemini Rue, is GOG committing to keeping Gemini Rue working (just like the older games that are worked on now to work on Win 7)?
Yes! In GOG's eyes every game is sacred and every game is great.
