Fallout 1,2, and Tactics, Freespace 1&2, Castles 1&2, and other unforgettable Interplay games 50% off!

When a conversation between gamers comes down to listing the absolutely essential PC classics one can't simply imagine the gaming world without, inevitably Interplay games come up. Most PC gamers are dedicated Interplay fans, even if unknowingly. Even if by some strange twist of life you don't instantly recognize the label, it's an easy bet that looking at our this week's [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/interplay_weekend_promo_120413]Immortal Interplay Classics promo page you'll immediately notice at least two titles that will make you excited or nostalgic. The number of unforgettable titles in Interplay's offer here on GOG.com is simply astounding! Today, we bring you all of them with a 50% discount.Now, let's take a moment to talk about Fallout, shall we?

When it was first realesed in 1997, Fallout electrified the gaming community and proved that real depth and freedom of real-life pen-and-paper RPGs weren't that far out of reach of computer games as it was usually proclaimed. The post-nuclear wasteland became the number one destination for countless fans. The game was enormous, masterfully written, and extremely immersive. Making it even better seemed impossible. But then, in 1998, Fallout 2 came along and proved that perfection could still be improved. Larger gameworld provided even more freedom, and the variety of enemies, items, NPC, quests, and stories made it immortal. After all these years some people still stand by opinion that Fallout 2 is the best computer RPG ever created. Add Fallout Tactics on top of that, for those who think that the combat system was the best part of these games, and there you have it: the greatest classic Fallout offer possible!

But that's not all! Head out to our Immortal Interplay Classics promo page and grab yourself some of the best games ever made for the PC, 50% off on GOG.com. The offer lasts until Tuesday, April 16, at 3:59AM GMT.

LindsayYates: Got all these games at the Pay what you want sale.
Funny about cheeky Interplay guys raising the prices thinking no one would notice. Most of $10 games still aren't worth $5

I've got this gift code for any any interested for Kingpin, Redneck Rampage and Fallout
N36R-5HBM-DH9D-RT23

Kingpin and Redneck suck ass though. Don't expect them to be any good.
Thanks :)

Mivas: When should YouTube winners receive rewards? Whenever you do external contests, it's kind of "Thanks for sharing! We will send rewards at some point... <silence>".
They will be given out today.

EDIT: There was no edit. What are you talking about?

A code for Colin McRae 2005 will ensure that my screengrab never gets published.
That doesn't mean that without a code the screengrab gets published...

Someone is spreading false rumors, the question is who :)

Stooner: Amazing... kidnapped Kingpin and Redneck! ;p
Kingpin was in my wishlist, Redneck I don't know....

Thank you!

Bloodygoodgames: I bought Redneck Rampage when it first came out and, although I have no interest in playing it again, from what I remember it was a pretty fun game.

EDIT: BTW, the soundtrack is excellent.
I found the game really mediocre, especially compared to other build games like Blood or Shadow warrior. Awful level design. Looking for damn keys and figuring out what to do drove me insane. The soundtrack was quite funny though.
Redneck Rampage's soundtrack is awesome but the game lacking. Plus the sound track gets old fast (never found out how to turn it of).

Also what happened to the 3 new interplay games?

The only ones I don't have are Earthworm Jim 1 + 2, Freespace 2 and Screamer 2, does anyone recommend these games?

Oh sure, compared to Blood, RR is definitely lacking but as a stand-alone game it's fun enough.

Don't forget, when I played it though, I'd probably only played about 10 games in my life so didn't have a lot to compare it with. It could definitely be a lot worse than I remember :)

I only played Freespace 1 and that many years ago, but that was already pretty good and Freespace 2 seems to be considered a beacon of its genre.

Freespace 2
GET THIS GAME GET THIS GAME GET THIS GAME

I bought it the day it came out years ago on disc and I stepped on it cracking one of cds; I was so devistated it was one of the reasons I eventually found a sponser and sobered up. I haven't picked it up here yet but this sale should clinch it for me, so long as the sale doesn't end until Monday when I get some scratch. It's not as good as the original Tie Fighter but that's like saying "it's not as good as bacon". Get my point? GOOD, now get the game! :D

I loved Earthworm Jim on the SNES...
but I don't know how it was on PC, or how it stands nowadays.. so, sorry for not helping.. :P
$122.67 Wow, should have bought this back when it only cost $35.

Why could this not be like a 80% off, might be able to afford it then.
So this is the "Everyone is buying Screamer 2" sale, right? Because a lot of folks here already have the entire catalog thanks to the various Interplay catalog sales. :P

mrking58: Earthworm Jim 1 + 2,
Buy this. That's an order !

JMich: Ok, let's see what this may be.
Someone on another forum suggested "Genewars". It's a Bullfrog/EA game, so it would be right at home here.
Anyone want to sell me on the MDK games? I played one of the demos a few years ago and it bored me senseless but that is abviously sometimes not a reliable measure of a game.
