Heroes of Might and Magic series, Assassin's Creed, Rayman Origins, FarCry 1 and 2, modern Prince of Persia games, and many more unforgettable Ubisoft titles 60% off

Welcome to our unbelievable [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/ubisoft_weekend_promo_020514]Unbelievably Ubi promo, celebrating one of the most unique modern game publishers: Ubisoft, famous for releasing original titles, full of pure gaming magic and memorable moments. This weekend you can get more than 40 Ubisoft titles 60% off. Amazing action-adventures in the ancient or medieval Middle East or dystopian future, first-person perspective shooters telling the stories of secret agents or special forces operatives stranded on dangerous islands, strategies set in fantastic lands, the distant future, or our very own mundane reality, colorful platformers, racing games, classic dungeon-crawling RPGs--all this and more waiting for you and tempting you with low, low prices. Let's put some titles in the spotlight, shall we?

Heroes of Might and Magic is a game series so prominent, that it surely needs no introduction. In fantasy turn-based strategies it's quite hard to find a match for this legendary saga that challenges our strategic and management skills since the year 1996. Based on the successful setting of the fan-favorite classic cRPG, Might and Magic, it achieved a great balance between accessibility and complexity that resonates perfectly with gamers. After all these years Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete Edition is still considered by many to be the perfect turn-based strategy title. Some fans, however, prefer the more modern Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Bundle, that takes the beloved mechanics into the beautiful realm of 3D graphics. That's only two titles, though. All of our Might and Magic games, strategy and RPG alike, can be found 60% off in the promo page.

is an iconic character and his platformer games entertained generations of gamers. As many other platformer series, his adventures also took a turn into the realm of 3D. They were quite successful at that, mind you, but there's something about the run-and-jump genre, that simply makes it work best in two dimensions. [url=http://www.gog.com/game/rayman_origins]Rayman Origins takes us back to the 2D roots of platformer gaming, and reminds us why this kind of graphics and this kind of gameplay is a perfect match. Plus, it introduces a lot of fresh ideas while doing so.

Far Cry and Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition will take you on a dangerous voyage through breathtaking locations filled to the brim with dangerous foes and ruthless beasts. The first one released 10 years ago, those elaborate FPS titles were deemed revolutionary--not only in the graphics layer, but also for their huge open worlds allowing for semi-sandbox gameplay. Are you ready to face the tropical heat?

All of those Ubisoft games, and many more, can be yours for 60% off this weekend. Go to the Unbelievably Ubi to check out the details of this Unbelievably Ubi sale. The offer ends on Tuesday, May 6 at 3:59AM GMT. Don't miss out!

tfishell: Oh yeah, we need Archemdian Dynasty and Sub Culture here too. ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub_Culture#Graphics_rendering
Sub Culture is actually a really fun game, but I never figured out how to get the music and movie cut-scenes to work, I think you need the actual CD in the drive

The Ambient track is really peaceful, definitely sounds underwater-y and mystical. ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2GZFHhiizQ&list=PL79406847271DA5B7

I wonder if the music was on the actual CD like certain other games used to do. My Frogger (1997) game wouldn't play the music on my XP machine because the music was all on CD.

Would GOG have a way to emulate the CD being the in drive? I don't know if using an ISO file (because, y'know, Daemon Tools and whatnot) or something similar would accomplish that or not.

GOG already does this. Dungeon Keeper Gold for example uses bin/cue pair as games.inst and .ogg files for the different audio tracks.

Probably. Chaos Overlords and a few other games (Tomb Raider II for the video files) actually played the audio and movies off the CD, and GOG managed to get them working. The ISO mounting thing doesn't work though, I tried mounting an iso of Sub Culture CD with daemon tools but no music or movies, I think the CD had some kind of copy protection to that effect, or it streamed the music directly from the CD player drive.
