BloodNet, a dark cyberpunk adventure classic with RPG elements, in which vampires take Manhattan--and cyberspace!--and the stake of the game is your very soul, is available for Windows and Mac OS X on GOG.com, for only $5.99!

In 2094 the children of the night have a new playground, as far from the burning rays of sunlight as possible--the cyberspace. With the wired and wireless networks covering the whole of New York with a thick digital shroud, there's virtually no place out of their reach. The fact that you have fangs at the helms of the mega-corporations doesn't help either. It would seem that humanity is doomed. But this isn't the story of the human race's fall. It's a story of one person's struggle. When you wake up with two bite marks on your neck in the middle of vampire-ridden Manhattan, and you start to feel the HUNGER, there's very little time to save your soul. Just remember to install some humanity-boosters in your cyber-deck.

BloodNet is a remarkable game that brilliantly blends horror and cyberpunk in a mixture of adventure and RPG gameplay. You will explore the gritty locations of a high-tech futuristic city full of cyber-enhanced freaks, and tread the dangerous paths of the Cyberspace, that houses more demons than it did ever before. Build a team of deckers, cyberpunks, mercenaries, and rage gangers to help you in your desperate fight for your last threads of humanity. With a dark, memorable story, a haunting setting, graphics that aged surprisingly well, and hours of exciting and original gameplay, this classic title is a cyberpunk delight you cannot say no to.

Face some of mankind's greatest fears and enter the high-tech realm of BloodNet, for only $5.99 on GOG.com.

jjsimp: So, does this mean Civ1&2 and all the flight sims from Microprose are in the works. Ooh, Gunship series, the main game I remember from my childhood.

For those that want to reminisce:
List of Micrprose games

Never heard of it, but it looks interesting. Nice release GOG!
YEAH!

One old-school release like this every week makes me an even happier and more faithful GOG customer!

Licurg: This is amazing ! I thouht this thing had rights issues ? That it was made after some book or board games or something ? Or am I thinking about another game ?

BTW GOG, since you got a Microprose game, why not get one of their best, if not the best one they ever made?

Novotnus: Don't forget:
http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/dark_earth
That looks like it has Resident Evil style graphics and tank controls which means it's awesome looking to me. One vote from me.

Edit: Seems I voted for it long ago and forgot I did, lol.

I hope this means that there may come other games of Microprose, too. I really yearn for Dark Earth...
anyway BloodNet looks interesting. nice release.

European Air War would be an instabuy for me.

Does look cool, and I think many people would buy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpFw9VZHiSo - I always like colorful voice acting, even if it's cheesy.

http://www.sysopt.com/showthread.php?111252-How-to-play-these-old-guys-!-! seems to suggest (I use that phrase a lot) that Dark Earth was 3dfx compatible, so maybe nGlide could be bundled with it to help any compatibility issues.

Of course, that's assuming whoever owns the publishing rights (I don't know if it's Atari, if Tommo got those, or somebody else) will allow the game onto GOG.

Would be cool but the rights are probably scattered as hell seeing how often companies changed owner since 1993.

Civ 1 & 2 would fall under Take 2, I assume, similar to X-Com. But you're right in that the rights to other titles could be scattered as hell - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroProse#Under_Infogrames_.282001.E2.80.932003.29,

JudasIscariot: The weirdest thing of all is that you can't, not to my knowledge at least, have the talkie version with text so we figured it would best to include both versions for two reasons: 1) for those who are hard of hearing and need to have text and 2) because there's that ONE guy who asks about floppy versions of games :P
avatar
Stooner: Hate this, seems to be just like Silver...
And Simon the Sorcerer, as far as I remember. I've never understood that particular design decision. Of course you can't have full voiceovers in a floppy version, but why on Earth wouldn't you include the text in the CD version?

Awesome!
And damn you! Just because I decided I wouldn't buy anything this month :P
Yes! I really want Dark Earth here; I absolutely loved that game as a kid/teenager and I can't get it to work no matter what I try now. The story is great too, and there's some really cool mechanics. I got really close to finishing it back then but I got too scared. :x

Oh I love 3dfx. Since playing Carmageddon and the PC version of Tomb Raider 1 I got off of gog, i've fallen in love with 3dfx.
