Superfrog, Alien Breed + Tower Assault, Tropico 3 Gold Edition, Worms 1&2, Cultures series and more 60% off!

Sometimes, we just like to open our treasure chest, grab a handful of great games, and throw them up in the air. Then we dance like mad people, jump around, and laugh as the games rain down on our heads like awesome digital confetti. Then, whatever falls inside a circle we've painted on the floor, we pick up and put on weekend promo. This week's lucky winners are Team 17 classics and strategy games from Kalypso Media. Let's take a quick look at our--let's stick to that--selection of the games you can get 60% off in the [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/kalypso_team_17_weekend_promo_090813]Team 17 and Kalypso Mix weekend promo, shall we?






Team 17 brings in a solid serving of nostalgic fun to the table. Look! Is it a strange little green bird? Is it a tiny plane with a red cape tied around it's cabin for some reason? No! It's ! This classic platformer of the early 16-bit era comes with so many memories, that whoever had the pleasure of playing it in the past, will instantly feel warm and fuzzy inside. All those who haven't played it before can now leap right into the arcade history spanning across 24 colorful levels, for only $2.39! What else from Team 17? [url=http://www.gog.com/game/worms_united]Worms United and Worms 2 managed to wiggle their way into the promo easily, even though some of them got squished while crossing the road overtaken by the World Rally Fever. All the games mentioned here can be yours for only $2.39 each!






From Kalypso, something to go with this summer's tropical heat: Cultures 1+2, an exploration-focused RTS series where you help a Viking tribe on they conquests around the world, you'll get the chance to cool off a bit before your brave warriors decide to invade some place near the equator. Both games can be yours for only $3.99 each.






That's not all. More titles await on our promo page, so make sure you go there and take a look. The promo lasts until Tuesday, August 13, at 3:59AM GMT. Have a great weekend!
Well, decided to get all Cultures games
Quick before the sale ends, it Worms Forts as bad as the demo? The 3D doesn't bother me but the controls for the demo were SHIT!
Nice promo =] ... Superfrog is in my collection =D

Ghorpm: I think so far I finished every RPG (from GOG) I had started. And that's ~20 games. Sometimes it took me... a year (I'm looking at you, Baldur's Gate) and it's not a big problem for me. Even if take a break for several months I usually remember what should I do after coming back. Perhaps not immediately but an hour is enough to refresh my memory. Baldur's Gate 2 is on hold at the moment...
I think I have played the first Baldur's Gate like over ten years now. Restarting if from a scratch several times (either because I was unsure what I was supposed to do next, or because I felt I'd like to play some other type of character). Now I am near the end though, finishing Tales of the Sword Coast, and then a few last things in the base game I think. Somehow the savegame has survived all these years across several PCs, and even moved from the original retail CD version to the GOG version.

Baldur's Gate is a bit hard to play that way in parts, as its journal is crap. The only way I've been able to keep track of what I am supposed to do next is to use a walkthrough, and mark into it which quests and places I've already visited or completed. Otherwise I would be all the time completely lost with all the quests I've initiated but not completed etc.

And even now it seems a bit hard. For example, I am carrying around some heavy dead body with me, but I don't have any idea anymore where I got it and was I supposed to deliver it to someone, in order to complete some quest. But I am still afraid to thrown it away either, in case I dearly need it at some point. Just like I apparently threw away some dagger which apparently was a quest item.

I so much wish all RPGs had proper quest logs which kept track for me what I was working on when I decided to have a three month pause from playing the game. Playing it staring at a walkthrough is not that much fun, really. But then, the only other option would be for me to write all the quests down myself onto a piece of paper.

IMHO the worst part was the beginning. Babysitting a bunch of heroes in spe who can burst their arteries by sneezing too hard (did somebody get the quote?) wasn't funny at all. I think I prefer smooth leveling system (like M&M) where +/- 1 level doesn't make a big difference. In BG, however, there were many battles that I got my a$$ kicked no matter how many times I tried and after leveling up only once they became trivial. I know that it's typical for D&D but I don't like it...
