You get the Witcher 2 for $24 and the Witcher 1 for free. Anyone who hasn't played those games who are RPG fans owe it to themselves to play them. They are in my top 5 of RPG's of all time.

Masters of Orion 1 & 2 were great games. Classics.

This sight is great for all the people who didn't have the computers back in the day to run the "Cutting Edge" programs. Now you can get them dirt cheap and almost any computer will be able to run them.

It looks like you might have to add some mods to get the programs to run in idescreen though.

Would like to get into more PC games, but finding some are appealing to the mouse/kb controls, which I dislike. Am trying to use Joy2Key to configure my existing gamepad, but it's a bit of a PITA. But thanks for the link....will check it out.

I love GOG. Looking forward to their half off sale.

I signed up when The Witcher 1 was on sale for $5. You actually get a few games free regardless,Beneath A Steel Sky is probably the only one worth playing though. Broken Sword: The Director's Cut was free a while ago too.

I'm not sure if I should get Witcher 2 now or if there'll be a better deal on Steam during the Xmas sale.

Can't hurt to wait. I am thinking that it will be better or at least comparable on Steam. The thing about gog.com is you get some extras and it is DRM free. You get the game guide with GOG's version as well.

Yeah, no doubt. There are definitely some good old games on that site. I am looking at Ultima 7, Starflight 1 + 2, Fallout 1 and 2, Ice Wind Dale, Planescape: Torment, and Star Control.

that 50% off sale will be ****!

The other great thing about GOG is that all of the games work on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit and they even preinstall dosbox so that really old games will work.
