Get Leisure Suit Larry, Sacred Gold, Blade of Darkness, Disciples 2 and more dreamy classics 70% off!

Just a concept for you as we're midway through the summer season: try thinking of PC gaming as a forest, each tree a game--rooted in history, growing stronger with every hour of tense gameplay.

With this awesome selection of titles you'll need many a night to emerge from the trance. Dream the [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/strategy_first_codemasters_weekend_promo_080814]Midsummer Gamer's Dream!

It's only $1.79 for Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail!, undoubtedly one of the raucnhiest and funniest adventure games of yore, featuring fantastic hand-drawn graphics, tons of Easter eggs, and plenty of challenging babes to conquer. If the smell of gasoline and burnt tires puts you into a trance Race Driver: GRID, is available for just $4.49. The game will take you for a spin, the racing circuit extending from San Francisco to Yokohama, and including the grueling experience of Le Mans 24 hours race. Disciples 2 Gold, on the other hand, is a turn-based strategy title with a healthy dose of RPG elements added in for good measure. Grim, with a far darker esthetic than the regular fantasy worlds at the time, the game received universal praise for being an addictive mixture of combat, stunning visuals, and inspired storytelling, all at your fingertips for only $2.99.

InfraSuperman: I can tell you that the second one is a pretty awesome mix of turn-based strategy, RPG and an economy sim. Basically, you're tasked to free the state of Arulco. To accomplish that, you hire a bunch of mercenaries, fight your way through the map by way of X-Com style turn-based combat and liberate the country's towns one by one. Once freed, the towns have to be defended against attacking enemies (for example, by training a local militia), but they'll also provide you with money, which you need to pay your mercenaries, hire new ones or buy equipment.
Sounds pretty cool! Do any of the games run in a window or allow in-game saving?
So how tough are the controls on the Apache games?

JA2 is at the top of my backlog - installed, manual printed, ready to go. I appreciate this insight and hope to fire it up ASAP. :)

darthyip: Is FlatOut 2 worth getting? I'd rather have FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage (which is essentially a remake of 2), but don't know if it'll come to GOG.
FlatOut 2 is a great improvement over the original FlatOut. If you like racing games you should definitely try it out! But I still wish GOG could get FlatOut: UC someday.

Ixamyakxim: Yay, finally Jagged Alliance 2! After thinking it would never go on promo and almost caving a few times on one of the standalones, this one IS a Midsummer Gamer's Dream.

Also, I HATE a Midsummer Night's Dream. Can't stand it, don't get the fuss, think it's a terrible play. And I LOVE the Bard.
Better than Romeo and Juliet, at least.
The three Jagged Alliance games for sale are all incredible - I played through them all.

I will be giving away all three in a GA bundle after the promo is over. :)

Likewise! I have a couple "in progress" games but after waiting for JA2 for a while I couldn't help but firing it up tonight... 3 hours later ;) ... Cumbersome at times, but still fun despite the old school quirks - which for me is always a good sign that the game will be something special. Also, I love that you use "fire it up / fire up" when referring to starting a new video game - I've done the same for a long time now!

glumpot: Better than Romeo and Juliet, at least.
Oddly enough I've always had a soft spot for Romeo and Juliet. My favorite character... Mercutio. Always the jester, as he's dying and STILL cracking jokes, Romeo calls him on it and basically tells him to STFU and be serious, he's about to die after all. His response... something to the effect that tomorrow, at least, he'll be a grave man. I LOVE this line.

The only other play of his I hate - King Lear. Still find it boring and plodding, to this day.
All right, the Disciples dilogy obtained, now 100% Steam-free and with the soundtracks to boot. Are you pleased guys? I know I am.
By Gallean, my wishlist is melting like snow of the Clan's territory with a Legions' rod planted into it. Not that I'm complaining though. ;-)

Vythonaut: Nice promo, I'm going for Patrician 3 & Jagged Alliance 2! It would have been "a midsummer gamer's dream" if that gamer could get some sleep at night. But I doubt it, with so many good games.. :-)

HypersomniacLive: If you must find a scapegoat... ;-P
But.... but... don't put the blame on me, it's GOG's fault, look at the list! :-P LOOK OUT game's coming this way!! RUN!! :-D
@Anyone here who owns the Enemy Engaged games

I haven't played a good helecopter sim since my PCGamer demo of AH-3 Thunderstrike all those years ago, is there anyone here who can compare Enemy Engaged with AH-3 Thunderstrike? Are the Enemy Engaged games actually a sim and not an arcade shootem up?

I got the Freespace games in the last promo, got Descent 1 and 2 working with the DXRebirth mod and Incoming before that so it's time for me to pick up a joystick pretty quick anyways. Enemy Engaged doesn't have any joystick issues do they?

You better do that! ;-)
I guess I'll check some youtube vídeos about Disciples II. Seems a lot like Heroes of Might & Magic and Age of Wonders.
All classic gems!
Ahhh screw it!!

I picked up the two Enemy Engaged games regardless. Downloading now.
