Master of Orion series, Silver, Outcast, Rollercoaster Tycoon series, and more Atari All-Stars 60% off

Accelerate into amazement, astonishment, and astoundment as the abundant amassment of authentic Atari awesomeness arrives! Our new [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/atari_weekend_promo/]Atari All-Stars weekend promo offers you with an incredible selection of 26 Atari games and you can get each and every one of them 60 (yes: s-i-x-t-y!) percent off. Whatever your taste in games might be, you're sure to find something new (or old) and exciting for yourself. We've got space strategies, tales of the Wild West, lovecraftian survival adventures, ultra-violent shooters, theme park sims, medieval RPGs, nautical adventures, and more. So much more. Let's look at some of the games from this supreme selection to give you a better idea of what kind of a promo you're dealing with here. Shall we begin with something otherworldly?

Master of Orion 1+2 series is a paragon of sci-fi managerial strategy. Lead your race towards galactic domination in a universe full of opportunity. Those games are so complex and satisfying, that you could easily play them for years.

Silver is a colorful RPG that looks like a fairy tale and plays a lot like one of Final Fantasy games. It was, however, developed in Europe so its setting, aesthetics, and storytelling are something completely different than what you would've expected to see in a jRPG.

Outcast is an incredible adventure in a open-ended sci-fi world. The game uses the retro-futuristic technology of voxel graphics to represent one of the biggest and most imaginative gameworlds ever to grace computer screens. Check out this unique gem that really came ahead of its times.

Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe lets you create and manage the amusement park of your dreams. Design the rides, set the prices, draw in visitors, and let the profitable fun begin! Be sure to check out the sequel, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, and the feature-filled Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum! for even more theme park building pleasure.

Before you rush off to the [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/atari_weekend_promo/]promo page, there are two more things that we'd like to tell you. We'll be adding some new extras and bonuses to our Atari games today. As usual, we have some of our amazing community members to thank for providing us with this content. Our gratitude goes to users: jeremiahh, SpooferJahk, and Daedolon (the man behind The Postmortem, the biggest community website). Remember to check inside your virtual boxes of [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/alone_in_the_dark]Alone in the Dark 1+2+3, , [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/master_of_magic]Master of Magic, and Blood. This also gives you a great opportunity to check out a new GOG.com site functionality. Your games' shelf now comes with a new sorting option, so you can easily find new and recently updated games in your collection. How to use it? Consult the screenshot hovering around this paragraph--it's pretty much self-explanatory (just click to enlarge it).
Rollercoaster Tycoon 1, why did it take me until 2012 to finally try you?

What a pleasure to play.

.. its also now 1:51 AM. I'm going to be tired at work tomorrow, but totally worth it.

Stooner: Agreed! Is the Second one good too?

Telika: <snip> So far, it had been just more of the same. The only difference is an option to aim from your character's perspective... <snip>
Apart from that, it's just more Desperados 1 levels. I've played them with too many years inbetween, but from what I remember, it's the exact same gameplay.
I had the same question as spindown and your answer did more to convince me to buy it than not to buy it. I was thinking I wouldn't get anything else from this promo after Silver and AitD1-3, but now I see that I was wrong.
For someone interested in Star Control; would it be better just to pick up The Ur-Quan Masters?
I wasn't going to buy it, but I ended up getting master of magic purely based on all the recommendations. If it sucks I'm going to be sad.

It's not going to suck. It's a great game.

Damn. I didn't recommend it because I considered it too obvious.

No nostalgia, no memories at stake. I've discovered this game a few weeks ago. It's one of my favorite games, i adore its gameplay, graphics, interface, overall 'feel'. I assumed it was already a classic for everybody but me.

So, yes. Should be bought, in priority. And I should have contributed to stress it.

the_bard: For someone interested in Star Control; would it be better just to pick up The Ur-Quan Masters?
Yes. The Ur-Quan Masters is basically a free and improved version of Star Control 2. There's no reason to buy Star Control 1+2 unless you're curious about the history of the series.

I worded that badly, I probably should have said "if I don't like it". Didn't mean to step on any toes :)

spindown: Yes. The Ur-Quan Masters is basically a free and improved version of Star Control 2. There's no reason to buy Star Control 1+2 unless you're curious about the history of the series.
I am interested in the history of the series. So, I may get both then. Thanks.

LOL it's cool. I don't think you will be disappointed though if you pick it up.

And in gog you get the amazing OST from SC2 too :D

etna87: I'm unsure if I would really play Total Annihilation. Does it have a lot more to offer than SupCom FA?
A bit late but yeah it's still amazing. More primitive than SupCom but there are an incredible amount of mods and total conversions available. If you install some of the best ones you may even find SupCom to be a bit shallow and simplistic!

andrestv: And in gog you get the amazing OST from SC2 too :D
Got it. And yeah I'm well fucking impressed with it. I love discovering these old games. So, really I won't know if one is better than the other. I'm starting out with the first Star Control atm and I'm having fun. :D

Thanks for the reply anyway. I decided not to buy it for now, but mods are always a good argument. The bigger ones for SupCom seem to be mainly new experimentals and other units (but some of them look really nice, I'll have to try them some day).

Not sure if that's what you meant, but I was talking about mods for Total Annihilation... see http://www.tauniverse.com

I realize now that I wrote those two sentences in perfectly unclear style, sorry. I actually meant to contrast the seemingly more narrow mods for SupCom with the (presumably) more extensive mods and total conversions for TA.
