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.

tinyE: 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'.

jpolastre: Just to clear any confusion... are you talking about Zeus or Zork?
Oh shit I didn't notice that! XD Here I was thinking I was being so clever. :( Of course I meant Zork ie Dork though now that I think of it I have been called Deuce before as in "What do you have to go, one or two?"
I've seen some odd related videos for these GOG recaps, but wow... this week in related videos we have Pocket God, Dog Pound, Road to Platinum God, God of Venus and Me and My Last Dog. Ehh, beats the racist propaganda I've seen crop up on there before.

Retrodude805: Damn, and I just bought the King's Quest and Space Quest games yesterday for full price.
Oh well, I'll try to pick something up.
That happens to me all the time on Steam. I'm learning my lesson here. I wait until the weekend to buy any more games.

Ah I see you don't know that "god" in portuguese (and maybe a few other latin languages) is "deus". Would make for an interesting display of megalomania.

tburger: There was a blue text about it :-P

Never played it...should I buy it ASAP ?
What blue text?


You should watch screenshots, gameplay on youtube adn decide. I'm basing on my nostalgia here, and this isn't a good base for a recomendation.

SLP2000: What blue text?
G-Doc had said somewhere something more or less "I also liked Inherit the Earth. Wait a bit more though, we got you covered.". Let me dig it up.

Edit: Found it.

Don't forget to post the link to the video, forum thread is currently missing it.
So good to see a promotion that features so many games on my wishlist. I won't do it now, but I'm planning on picking up

Arcanum,
Quest for Glory
Vampire: Redemption

And maybe the entire Kings Quest series, but that might be a bank breaker for me.

Meh, money grows on trees.
Excellent sale for those interested. It's too bad, however, that apparently GOG was unable to make a deal with Activision to include the soundtracks, because from what I've seen, not a single Activision game has music in the bonus content area. (though, the same thing can be said for EA I suppose)

Could be soon, could be late. Either way, check PM, and when you can, pay it forward.
