This week, we’ve prepared the greatest adventures from Activision--and more for a total of more than 50 games--[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/activision_weekend_promo_310513]all available for 50% off until Monday, June 3rd at 11.59 p.m. EDT.

If you like kings, and quests thereof, the best way to start your weekend is via our King's Quest collections. Kings Quest 1, 2, & 3; Kings Quest 4, 5, & 6, and Kings Quest 7 + 8 all combined tell a sweeping tale of generations of heroes who work ceaselessly to protect the magical realms of Daventry. With clever puzzles, charming graphics, moving stories, and a grand cast of characters, this series is one of the hallmarks of the adventure genre for a reason.

Maybe you're an adventurer, but one more in the vein of a hero of derring-do; a dashing rogue, a brawling fighter, or a wise and crafty wizard. No worries, we have just the thing for you: The Complete Quest for Glory series. Starting as a hero who's learned everything that the Famous Adventurer's Correspondance School has to offer, you begin in the town of Spielberg, determined to right the wrongs that plague the sleepy hamlet. Originally billed as "three games in one" due to the fact that different character classes dramatically change the style of the playthrough, this series takes you from the humblest beginnings of heroism to the grand and sweeping heights of fame and fortune. Travel the world, save the girl, and right wrongs. It doesn't get any better!

The Zork Anthology offers you the chance to play the original (like the first ever) adventure games Zork I, Zork II, Zork III, Beyond Zork, Zork Zero, and Planetfall. The Zork saga is text adventuring at its finest. Welcome to the Underground. Your greatest challenge lies ahead – and downwards. Return to Zork is rediscovery of the previous adventures, but now with graphics (live actors and video sequences.) and a superb soundtrack. Zork: Nemesis, another part in the franchise offers spectacular production value--Hollywood actors, dramatic live-action video, hypnotic ambient music and dazzling special effects. Zork: Grand Inquisitor is the last installment of the famous Zork adventure series. It uses the same formula as its predecessor: first-person perspective, 360 degree camera rotation, pre-rendered backgrounds, and live actors. Humor and comical pop-culture references accompany you throughout the entire game and guarantee that you will never get bored. So if you are looking for a not so serious oldschool adventure then this gem is for you. All games releases from Zork series are $2.99 on GOG.com this weekend only.

yeah, sure, I'm gonna give them money for old classics so they can make more cod.
Oh, well. I spent too much in the Amazon sale anyway.

Side note. I was SO excited to see that GOG was finally selling that game about me until I realized that was a 'Z' and not a 'D'.

tinyE: How intelligent do you have to be for Zeus and Poseidon?
I generally suck at strategy games but I played Zeus as a kid and liked it a lot. I don't think it's very difficult, especially the first campaign.

tinyE: How intelligent do you have to be for Zeus and Poseidon?
I grew up with the Impression's building series and while my personal vote for the most engaging experience goes to Pharaoh, I would recommend Zeus for its gameplay. They streamlined all the most obnoxious elements from previous games, while not sacrificing the intricacy of city building that the fans of their previous games wanted. They also included a much improved god system, where they actually roam your streets, help you in combat and give blessings in their particular "area of expertise". Furthermore, the campaign is linked with a very nice narrative based on Greek mythology and once in a while you actually come back to a town you previous constructed with new building options available to you.

So if you have to buy one of them, buy Zeus. Also buy Arcanum as it is next to Fallout the best cRPG ever made.

Got Arcanum, bought it the day I joined up here, and you are dead on about it. God bless Steampunk! :D
Now I'm off to beg for Zeus. Honestly the biggest plus for me is that is has SOME sort of discernible campaign. I love a city builder like SimCity2K but not having an actual goal or plan can be kind of annoying, so Zeus sounds fantastic.

Thank you!!!!!

tinyE: How intelligent do you have to be for Zeus and Poseidon?

Let me qualify that.
There are three on there I've always been curious about but intimidated by, The Zeus/Poseidon, Cleopatra, and the Caesar 3. Best of them? Are they as intense as a Sid Meier game because those are WAY too much work for me to be honest. Any other advice would help. If I'm going to spend money I don't have or go into the gift thread and beg for them I need to be sure.
I'd choose Pharaoh because It's more refined than Caesar 3.

Zeus has a bug which makes the Gods perform slowly which kinda breaks it. (Fix is disable your soundcard)

Caesar 3 is more unforgiving.

Welcome brother! It was actually Arcanum and M&M 1-6 that were the purchases that brought me to GOG. Nice to see someone else with a Steampunk streak in them.

Sorry to bogart this thread but any comments on this?

and to de_Monteynard, the Thief series brought me into the SteamPunk fold.
Any word on this week's TWOG? I need my weekly food for thought. :X
