Become a Tri-System Confederation legend!

Privateer 2: The Darkening, an epic-scaled space trade and combat sim from the cult-classic Wing Commander series, with full motion video sequences starring Christopher Walken, John Hurt, and Clive Owen, is available on GOG.com, for only $5.99. At the same time, we offer you a chance to expand your collection of Wing Commander titles, with our special 48-hour [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/wing_commander_series_promo_190913 ]Wing Commander Series Promo[/url]!

This was not a pleasant reality to wake up to. They told you you've survived a crash which totaled your spacecraft. You can't really remember anything. You're not even quite sure if you belong in the Tri-System. All you have, is the feeling that this isn't the first time you've bounced back from falling to the bottom. You still have just enough currency to afford some flying rust-bucket. It'll do. As long as you have wings, you'll manage, somehow. There always are business opportunities for skilled pilots--dirty jobs that bring good money. A few runs and you'll be able to afford some upgrades, or maybe even a better ship. You'll gain recognition. Fame, even. Somehow, it feels like this all isn't happening for the first time. If only you could recall what dangers await bold pilots in this corner of Universe...

Privateer 2: The Darkening isn't a direct sequel to Wing Commander: Privateer, but rather a completely different adventure in a remote part of the universe governed by the Tri-System Confederation. In fact, there are some hints that both games take place in roughly the same time period, but the different settings give each of them its unique feeling. Originally released in 1996, the game offers solid open-ended space trade and combat mechanics, multitude of original missions to take on, an involving story, and full motion video cut-scenes featuring a cast of a-grade actors. If you long for the sensation of piloting your own star ship and living the space-privateer life on your own terms, make sure not to miss this classic title!

Set your helm for the Tri-System and experience a space adventure of yet another lifetime in Privateer 2: The Darkening, for only $5.99 on GOG.com! Don't forget about the [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/wing_commander_series_promo_190913 ]Wing Commander Series Promo[/url], as well, because it lasts only until Saturday, September 21, at 9:59AM GMT.
Nice to have more EA games here but I'm still waiting for Command and Conquer, Westwood goodness in general and beasts and bumpkins

Front page says 50% off, checkout page says 20% off. Which one is correct?

Edit: btw, is this Darkening or Darkening Gold?

That does make sense, limited data points for me and all that.
Thank you for the prompt reply.

I don't particularly care for space sims, but I do want all games featuring Christopher Walken on GOG.
Yay! Very nice release. :)
Ahh, the memories. Every time I think of Priv 2, I heard the ship computer in my head, saying "Missile locked" with that accent... :)
Instant buy for me. Loved this game when it was released.

Seconded, we totally need The Ripper xD
Dang, now that I think of it - I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, Shadowman and this all in one month? September 2013 may actually be the best month since I joined GOG. All people whining about GOG not being about classics anymore should shut up and let GOG take their money!
