Gog keeps giving me games to play!

[IncendiaryDevice]

As if my backlog required this abundant generosity! I mean, I'm not saying no, the more the merrier, but...

Beneath a Steel Sky
Tyrian 2000
Dragonsphere
Ultima 4: The Quest for the Avatar
Treasure Adventure Game
Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire
Warsow

I never bought any of these and all these freebies are starting to pile up. Are any of them any good? I assume the U4 is the actual U4 and not some weird thing like the WoU:tSE looks like it probably is?

Anyone ever played any of these?

 

[PlanHex]

Haven't most of these been free for a while?
I think Beneath a Steel Sky is the very first game I "bought" on GoG. Pretty good adventure game. Can recommend trying that first.

 

[IncendiaryDevice]

Yeah, I've had about 4 of them for a while now, but they seem to be breeding like rabbits. I wont be playing any soon as I've just started Avadon 1... but I suspect I might need an RPG break after playing 3 Vogels in a row, so was wondering if any would be good for the job (U4 likely excluded?). Thanks for the recommendation for BaSK

Worlds of Ultima: Martian Dreams should be free too.

 

[IncendiaryDevice]

Is it any good tho?

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

It has unique setting and light rpg elements.
I like it but it uses Ultima VI engine which can be bit tiresome when you have to navigate across the map.

*shrugs* And it's free.

The original Shadow Warrior is now free as of a few days ago.

[spekkio]

All these free games are shit.

Obv you should buy Fallout 4 instead.

I think you are missing a few freebies from the collection too... like Flight of the Amazon Queen. The Ultimas and BASS are my favorites from the bunch. I wish I could go back in time and make more alternative universe Ultima games.

These freebies were piling up since the internet was launched. And countless others.

Jesus, gog fanboys are the worst...

 

[IncendiaryDevice]

You got that right!

 

[Cynicus]

Yeah, if you like Build engine shooters and wang jokes. If you're into shmups, Tyrian is also p. good.

 

[Astral Rag]

Warsow is a mediocre, ugly Q3 clone with a player base of 0.
Treasure Adventure Game looks like generic cute indie game number 255.
The others are Dos games that used to be on abandonware sites for the longest time.

Beneath a Steel Sky is a nice adventure game though and Tyrian is definitely a good shmup.

Treasure Adventure Game ought to have a price not that I'm complaining. It is an enjoyable, well above average metroidvania despite its graphics.

 

[Baron Dupek]

If only indie games have price like this one... I might even start playing them...
