Shopping à Paris!

Sure Paris is great for a walk down the Seine, a visit to the Louvre, or "café et croissant" at Champs-Élysées, but today it's all about games! Our Games from Paris promo let's you choose from 10 exceptional games created by Parisian developers, all 70% off!

This special deal is our stand-in for Wednesday's regular Gem Promo offering, however, with 10 games in the line-up we figured it's only fair to give you a bit more time. The offer is in effect until Sunday, August 3, at 9:59AM GMT. The lineup includes titles that have shaped gaming history as well as games that made a big splash more recently. Let's have a quick look at a few of those:

Another World, the action-adventure cult-classic, created almost entirely by only one person - Éric Chahi The game was one of the biggest hits on the Amiga platform thanks to its cinematic feel, great animation and gameplay consisting of puzzles, platforming, and shooter sections. Lester, a young scientist struck by lightning during an experiment and miraculously teleported to a dangerous and mysterious world. His survival is entirely in your hands, and, boy, Another World is not the friendliest of places!

Aarklash Legacy is a modern top-down RPG title reminescent of the early 2000s classics, complete with deep tactical combat and an active pause system. An intriguing story is a wonderful backdrop for what the game truly excels in: elaborate combat mechanics, allowing for complete control over enemy encounters. With a classic feel combined with many original ideas, elaborate skill trees, ominous dungeons, and sleek visuals, this fantastic title will easily quench your thirst for classic computer role-play!

Omikron: The Nomad Soul, a remarkable action-adventure game, even by today's standards, came way ahead of its time. With its lush and complex virtual world, diverse gameplay mechanics, and original immersive storytelling. It succeeded in creating an illusion of stepping into another world and obliterated the barrier between the virtual reality and our own. The project was so fresh, imaginative, and ambitious that David Bowie himself was more than willing to take a prominent part in the production. You can even meet his lookalike in the game and listen to him performing!

Celebrate the creativity and craftsmanship of Parisian game-makers and take advantage of our Games from Paris promo! Allez, allez!
How is Omikron? Can it run in a window on Windows 7?

Yes it can run fine on Windows 7.

[edit] Oh windowed, that i can't say, but i doubt it.

"My only issue with the game is that it has no windowed mode, and even though it lets you do things like change your resolution, it only works on the text and menus and stuff, the actual in-game graphics are still stretched."
So apparently not.

Narushima: On dirait que tu te méprends sur la signification de cette expression. "Salt of the earth" c'est quelqu'un, ou un groupe de personnes, simples, terre-à-terre, pas compliqués.

Erich_Zann: Pas nécessairement ; c'est l'interprétation colloquiale la plus courante, certes, mais c'est avant tout une marque de supériorité : "vous êtes le sel de la terre [...] vous êtes la lumière du monde".
Et donc tu préfères l'utiliser de la même façon que dans la Bible plutôt que de la façon dont tous les anglophones l'utilisent aujourd'hui ?
De plus, dans la Bible, les deux termes ne sont pas mis en parallèle : [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205:13-16]https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205:13-16[/url]

That's too bad. Have you tried Another World all? Is it any good? Does it have a windowed mode? :P

It's really good yeah, it usually runs in dosbox so it can be windowed, but i played my own version from the 10th year interplay anniversary cd, i can't say anything about how GOG runs it, let alone the newer 20th anniversary version.

How is the saving system? Can the player save at any time or does it use an autosave?

A few savespots, but the game isn't very long, you could finish the whole game in a few hours.
So is Omikron worth playing? It looks interesting but I've never played a David Cage game and the guy always comes across as a pretentious jackass in his interviews.

Cool sci-fi atmosphere, original stuff. It's been a long time for me, but I'd replay it over anything he's done since.

What a coincidence, I saw this story linked on Facebook a couple hours ago:

Nice promo, but I own most games from it. Time to get Raptor and Raiden, I guess.
One of these days I will finally try Gobliins.
