    Get over yourself, just a few posts ago you were bragging about how you bought the game even though you already had it. If someone is a dumfuck here it's you, I mean seriously, what kind of stupid fuck buys abandonware? Moralfags and really old people?

    It's hardly abandonware if it's being officially sold.

    I don't think you know what abandonware is (hint, it's a made up term).

    Paying for something you already bought and arguing it's not only cool but right?

    I could build a complex argument on how retarded it is but considering the way cretinism makes one unable to see his own idiocy as he sugar-coats it into corporate-sanctioned "morality" I'll just say we had a prime example of the following:

    Idiots who act self-righteously to not feel post-purchase guilt like Bruticis are the reason why we get day 1 DLC and online activation DRM pirates will break in a couple of weeks instead of nice things.

    Why would a dumb fuck like you even post in this thread if you have no interest in GOG games? Oh right, you want those KKKodex points. You get bonus points for inserting an image too, bravo!

    Any of these worth it? Already played K&M (still playing at the moment actually).

    I remember playing Earth 2150 way back when it came out but my PC back then was too shit to run it properly so I never played it all that much.

    Gorky 17 is the best choice among those if you don't mind a real challenge. Jack Orlando is good if you are in mood for an adventure game. JA2: Wildfire is a no brainer if you are a fan of the original game.

    Gorky 17 is intensely frustrating because of the resource management, it's very easy to play for a relatively long while and then realize you have to start all over again because you're out of ammo/weapons.

    +1 for Gorky 17, but I wouldn't say it's so hard, I mean I completed it when I was 10 or 11, so let's not praise this game for being challenging, but it is fun. Also has a good story (at least I remember so, but I was 10 or 11 and I could be more easily amazed).

    Janjetina. Explain to me the following:

    What is the nature of contract that the developers make with the publishers? Do these contracts guarantee the royalties?

    Well, the story is kinda fun, as in a bad B-movie fun complete with silly voice acting. Else, it is kinda challenging at the start since you need to know the best ways to dispose of the beasties while conserving ammo and other supplies. It also has some arbitrary rules, like some weapons can only fire in a straight line, some can also fire in diagonals. It didn't disturb me because that's how the game made the rules and stayed consistent with them, but I know that some people were incredibly bothered by that and wanted a "shoot anywhere you can see" as in JA2.

    I remember buying Gorky 17 at a store. The old lady at the counter said "Oh, looks scary", and handed it to me with a smile. I was young so I was expecting the usual "wtf is this filth" look, because the whole "videogames and youth violence" was at its peak. Maybe she thought it was a movie?

    Good times. Now you just have to click the awesome button to download a game.

    I don't ever recall hearing anything about Soulbringer (which is probably a bad sign). Any thoughts?

    Never heard of Soulbringer, I think, but everywhere I look it seems that people loved it.

    It's a good game and worth playing. But there is one annoying downside: the short viewdistance and the horizon is always black. It's like it's always night. A truly DARK game.Take a look at some screenshots or a let's play. If this is fine for you I can recommend the game.

    It did irk me a bit, but I'm pretty sure that I could get used to it fairly quick. I'll give the game a go one day when I have time.

    If you want to credit Codex with those GOG links, add /?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8 to the end of the urls. As it is now, only the GOG button in the top right corner of the site pages is affiliated. And any GOG news the news monkeys post, of course.

(buying stuff via the above links helps us pay the hosting bills)
