Men Of War Gold (includes Red Tide) for $11.89 on Steam.

Red Tide on it's own is $8.49 (down from $24.99) which I had to jump on myself.

Gone Fishing Sale at Shrapnel
Hook 25% off the normal retail price of the following titles:

BRAINPIPE: A Plunge to Unhumanity - Imagine someone reaches their hand into your head and squeezes your eyes from the inside while Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds plays in the background.

Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War - Not for export to the DPRK.

Remote Assault - It has robots in it. Robots that like to BLOW THINGS UP.

Salvo! - It's like a starship tactical game, except instead of starships you have sailing ships, and instead of space you have sea, and instead of photon cannons you just have regular cannons that shoot large spheres that don't really go pew-pew-pew.

Scallywag: In The Lair Of The Medusa - Of lairs it tends to be a rather nice one, although the throw pillows really don't match the color of the duvet.

Space HoRSE - They said it couldn't be done; launching a horse into space. They were wrong. Of course the horse imploded once it got outside the atmosphere, but that's a tale for another time.

The Star and the Crescent - As the song says, peace sells but who's buying? Arabs. Israelis. Fight!

Filet 20% off the full price of the following games:

Air Assault Task Force - "How can you shoot women and children?" "Easy, you just don't lead them so much!" Join the Air Cav in Vietnam, Somalia, and Afghanistan.

ATF: Armored Task Force - Tanks for all the memories. The game of modern armored combat that plays out in a realistic real-time manner.

Battle Group Commander: Episode One - Learn that war isn't cricket as you command a British Battle Group in this ProSIM mini-game.

BCT - The classic game that spawned the ATF and AATF line of games. Learn the true meaning of real-time strategy.

Lure 15% off all these games:

Dominions 3: The Awakening - Don't all those AARs floating around the 'net just make you want to jump into the game? So buy it already and do so!

War Plan Pacific - Speed wargaming without losing historical plausibility. It can be done. And it has.

Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space - Space doesn't have to be big and scary. It can be tamed, and it likes presents and hugs. Give the purple void a hug.

winSPMBT and winSPWW2 - For fans of tactical combat these two games are akin to watching a lemur and an octopus get into a knife fight; it just doesn't get any more entertaining. All the tanks, guns, and planes you could want from the '30s until 2020.

And don't forgot all month long we have Air Command 3.0 and The Falklands War: 1982 on sale at the Gamers Front as the monthly special.

Not only does Gamers Gate have no DRM (well, aside from the publisher prescribed one), it offers German payment options (Lastschrift (ELV), Giropay, Sofortueberweisung). Gee, I am tempted.

edit

How do I install my games?


Installation is done automatically and it requires internet connection to be performed properly.

NOTE: it cannot be made manually. Serial keys for games are available at "My Games" section of the website, in the tab "Purchased games" underneath the corresponding game. Note that not all games require a serial key, and thus do not have one.

Hahaha. Kthxbye.

Starting at midnight September 30th and going until midnight on October 3rd, War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition will be reduced from the regular price of $79.99 (Download Price) to $54.99 (Download Price) - a savings of $25 and a discount of over 30%! Distant Worlds will be reduced from its regular price of $39.99 (Download Price) to $29.99 (Download Price) - a savings of $10 and a discount of 25%!




Responding to the post above from a month ago:

Installation is done automatically and it requires internet connection to be performed properly.

NOTE: it cannot be made manually.
This is actually a lie. Once the download completes, the last thing to arrive is the setup.exe. If you continue with the installation it will delete this and you will need to redownload to re-install. Just remember, as probably every GG user knows by now, to make a copy of the Temporary Game Files folder with the setup.exe in it before continuing with or canceling the installation. Burn it to a disk or whatever. You can later install with this without being connected to the internet.

Wouldn't anyone who can afford this sale be easily able to buy their titles one by one? It kinda doesn't make sense.

Strategy First has their Take-No-Prisoners Strategy Pack, which is a pack of some solid titles (JA2, first two Combat Missions, first two Strategic Commands, Space Empires 4) mixed in with some junk (20 games in all) for $69.99. But! Entering coupon code "TNPSALE" gets you the whole shebang for only $9.99. Ten bucks for 20 games, including a few great ones and a few decent ones. You have until March 28th to milk this deal.

1/20 Alliance: Future Combat:

The year is 2008. The area between Iran, Afghanistan, India and China has become the Democratic Republic of North Dzambystan (DRND). To get financial aid from United States the DRND’s government allowed the US military to build a top-secret subterranean base.

But the DRND’s government in unaware that the heavily fortified base is a research center for genetic engineering on soldiers and testing lab for next-generation weapon systems...



2/20 Combat Mission: Barbarosa To Berlin:

Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin (CMBB) is the revolutionary successor to the award winning game system pioneered in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord. Bigger, bolder, larger in scope with layers of more detail, it is the epitome of the state of the art in combat simulations.

Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin is a 1-2 player, hybrid turn-based/realtime 3D simulation of WWII tactical warfare on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1945.

Experience combat in a full 3D battlefield as tracers arc overhead and exploding shells shake the earth! Feel the tremendous power of the feared Russian Katyusha rocket barrage! Order a tank hunter team to assault a heavy KV-1 with Panzerfausts and magnetic mines in the ruins of a shattered city! The fluid game interface combines with 3D lines of sight, misidentification of targets, enemy detection by sound, advanced armor penetration systems, unit morale and leadership effects, spreading fires and billowing smoke, wind and weather – and much more to bring you unprecedented realism in a computer simulation.



3/20 Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord:

Combat Mission is a 1-2 player, turn-based, simultaneous-execution 3D simulation of WWII tactical warfare. It combines unparalleled game depth and ease of use with a true 3D environment. The move to the 3rd dimension is not just to look cool, rather it it improves the accuracy of the simulation. Think of the world around us - it's all 3D. True 3D LOS, 3D spotting, 3D terrain, and 3D trajectories are a lot more realistic than 2D approximations, so that is what CM delivers!

Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord takes you from Normandy 1944 to Germany 1945 on World War Two's Western Front. Play as Allied or Axis, ranging from US Airborne to German Volkssturm. Battle across the bocage, tackle a village or two, drive through the plains, push into the woods, and slog it out in cities. CM provides all this and more with its historical scenarios and campaigns. And if there is a battle that isn't covered, make it up yourself with the easy to use editor.



4/20 DarkStar One:

The galactic peace is endangered by the frequent attacks of the Thul and by the threat of a sinister presence that lurks on the horizon. Suspicion almost breaks the Great Council apart. Another war seems inevitable. In all this turmoil, Skip finds clues about his father’s secret. An unknown technology aboard the DarkStar One appears to be the key until an unexpected twist changes the course of events significantly…


Ascaron Entertainment bring their extensive experience of simulated real-world game environments to DarkStar One. The game provides exhilarating and dramatic action, whilst incorporating dynamic populace, economic and military cycles, linking the hundreds of worlds that exist with the simulation of an active, living universe of busy freight traffic, pirate activities, fighter escorts and combat maneuvers. This allows for many gameplay styles – become a pirate, raiding and destroying, or an escort supporting cargo fleets, or a mercenary available to the highest bidder. Alternatively, the player may decide to act as a bounty hunter who brings down pirates. This freedom of choice offers numerous side quests, missions and mysterious artifacts.

DarkStar One sets new graphical standards in explosive, deep-space action. The space ships are intricately designed, and spectacular special effects guarantee a truly galactic, action-packed adventure.



5/20 Disciples II: Gallean's Return:

Disciples II: Guardians of the Light is a stand-alone expansion that lets you dive into the fantastical world of Disciples II as either the Empire or the Mountain Clans.

The Empire is decaying from within as self-proclaimed rulers struggle for control of the now vacant throne while a cruel Inquisition sweeps across the human lands, causing rebellion and misery. Meanwhile the Clans, recovering from their near-destruction, begin to reunite their tribes. They have received divine instructions and now seek to uncover an ancient ritual that will let them communicate with their god, Wotan.

Disciples II: Servants of the Dark is a stand-alone expansion that brings you into the never-ending quest for supremacy as either the Undead Hordes or the Legions of the Damned.

On the dark side, the Legions of the Damned enact a plan to spread Bethrezen’s plague across Nevendaar. They sense the threat brought about by the rebirth of the Elven god and will stop at nothing to steal this power for their own purposes. Perhaps most pivotal to the conflict, however, is Mortis and her army of Undead Hordes. After all, the rebirth of her husband Gallean was her doing. He had rejected her for what she had become, a twisted, heartless beast. Now she would teach her mate a lesson... one that would scar his people for eternity...



6/20 Disciples II: Rise Of The Elves Gold:

Disciples introduced a milestone in the game's very successful history; the introduction of a new race: The Elves. The Elven Race added a new dimension to the game and added countless hours of gameplay.

Now that series has expanded further with Disciples II: Rise Of The Elves Gold version. This version features all of the campaigns found in the original and a brand new campaign that continues the storyline of the Elven Race. It also includes 14 new skirmish maps to test hone your skills.



7/20 GODS: Lands of Infinity Special Edition:

The ancient world of Bellarion struggled in the never ending war of Gods. The conflict began when Xarax, ruler of the Gods, was murdered. Each of the remaining Gods claimed the right to the Divine Throne. After many battles, the defeated Gods refused to submit to the victors and instead summoned their armies to attack the worshippers of other Gods. The deaths of those worshippers weakened the power of the conquering Gods. After 2000 years of battles, Bellarion lay in ruins. No one was able to achieve victory until the God of Darkness, Mortagon, found a new weapon which resisted all magic and divine powers.

As the last hope Arswaargh, the God of Fire, created Vivien, who he fashioned after his own astral body. Arswaargh sent Vivien through space and time to seek the counter-weapon needed to defy Mortagorn, but unfortunately, she lost her divine essence while traveling through the magical portal to another world. Vivien must now seek the Gods of the new world, gain back her power and search for the counter-weapon against Mortagorn.

GODS: Lands of Infinity Special Edition is a blend of adventure and action in a turn-based setting. There is an array of missions and NPCs that players can add to their team. Players must fight, gain experience, level and acquire new skills. The game is played out in the first-person perspective, until gamers enter a battle encounter, at which point the game goes into third-person turn-based battle.

GODS: Lands of Infinity Special Edition invites you into an exciting world full of adventures, battles and quests of unearthly affairs. Spend hours discovering the world of Antasion, trading and completing the lead quests of each race or kingdom and many side quests.



8/20 Jagged Alliance 2: Gold Pack:

The small country of Arulco has been taken over by a merciless dictator – and only you can loosen the iron grip! Jagged Alliance Gold Pack features the wildly popular strategy title Jagged Alliance 2 and its mini-sequel, Unfinished Business for hours and hours of gameplay. Featuring an enhanced version of JA 2, Jagged Alliance Gold Pack immerses you into an elaborate role-playing universe where you will interact with more than 150 characters, recruit your own band of soldiers and create your own custom mercenary to win back Arulco – not once, but twice! The perfect blend of strategy, role playing and tactical combat!



9/20 Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business:

The smoke is clearing and the bullets have stopped flying. Arulco is free at last, but your jobs not over. An all-powerful corporation is assaulting the tiny country, and once again, you’re needed! Enter a whole new chapter of the critically acclaimed Jagged Alliance 2 with all new weapons, new mercenaries, new terrains and the fantastic new Mission Builder! Gear-up you’ve got some Unfinished Business to take care of!



10/20 O.R.B.: Off-World Resource Base:

O.R.B. is a visually stunning 3D real time strategy game that pits the forces of two planets against each other in an epic struggle for control of the vast asteroid belt that circles their planets. Within the concentric rings of the belt are the precious resources that both planets desperately need to thrive.

Millennia Ago, an empire spanning the galaxy collapsed after a long and brutal war. In the Aldus system, two orphaned races slowly evolved on two separate planets. Both races believed that they were unique and alone in the universe.

They were soon to find out that they were neither unique nor alone.



11/20 Patrician III: Rise of the Hanse:

Following the critical and commercial success of the release of Patrician 2 in International markets in 2001, Ascaron proudly announce the release of Patrician III in Q4 2003, for English and French speaking markets.

Patrician III is a real-time trading simulation featuring elements of construction and the historical background of maritime trade in Northern Europe during the 1300's.

As a resident of a medieval town, your goal is to rise from the status of a simple, insignificant trader to that of a Patrician and perhaps even become the head of the Hanseatic League. You can raise your standing through town improvement and diplomacy or fill your coffers through piracy and smuggling.



12/20 Port Royale 2:

The Caribbean in the 17th Century; You will trade with over 60 towns and create your own production facilities. You will not only increase your trading empire, but you will also have a larger influence on the development of the New World.

Trade is not everything though, as pirates and military fleets threaten your trade convoys. Escort ships for your convoys are needed, or you can turn the tides and hunt for pirates or capture the military ships, becoming more famous and expanding your own fleet as well as your stock of goods.

If that is not enough, you can also take on missions for merchants, diplomats and other characters. With the even more desirable missions of the Vice Kings, where you are to attack and conquer enemy towns, you will be able to influence the defences of your home towns directly. As a sign of gratitude you will be awarded land, to be used later to build and oversee your own towns.



13/20 Sacred Gold:

A shadow of evil has fallen on the kingdom of Ancaria. It is a time for champions – a time to journey into the perilous world of SACRED. Battle blood-thirsty orcs & lumbering ogres… Destroy undead wizards & rotting mummies… Slay hellish demons & legendary dragons. With blazing magic & sharpened steel, prepare to embark on an epic quest of fantasy adventure & heroism.

SACRED – The new name in Action-RPGs. SACRED delivers a huge, elaborate world comprising 16 regions beset with heroic quests, battle-hardened warriors and horrific enemies.

This includes an enhanced multi-player experience, an optimized interface, and many completely new features: two new regions, two additional main quests, new item sets and weapons, and many new creature types which make adventuring in Ancaria even more dangerous.

SACRED Underworld - Ancaria is facing a threat far greater than ever before. The now familiar world continues to evolve, with existing SACRED players able to import their old characters into the Underworld.



14/20 Space Empires IV Deluxe:

The award-winning Space Empires IV Deluxe is the latest edition in the Space Empires series.

Maintaining and upgrading your starship with high performance tech may be the only thing that keeps you alive in the cold depths of space, but that really isn’t enough. In a galaxy filled with warp points, asteroid belts, gas giants, and cosmic storms, signing on for a tour of duty for large fleet operations might be your only chances at survival. Your reputation as a respectable trader or a blood-thirsty pirate will define your fortune in this dynamic universe!



16/20 Strategic Command: European Theater:

Strategic Command - European Theater is WWII Grand Strategy at its best. As the supreme commander of the Axis or Allied forces, the player shapes the fates of the nations at war during the Second World War in Europe.

Political options, research and upgrade of equipment, management of supply and resources and the strategic employment of one's armed forces are some of the keys to success.

With limited phase restrictions and wide open turns you are in complete control to try many different approaches and entertain just as many possible outcomes. The future of Europe and perhaps ultimate glory is in your hands.



17/20 Strategic Command 2: Blitzkrieg:

Strategic Command 2: Blitzkrieg is the new grand strategy masterpiece from award winning game designer Hubert Cater. Combining the ease of play, accessibility and addicting gameplay of the original Strategic Command, Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg adds tons of new features including many player submitted suggestions. Bigger, better and expandable, Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg is an evolutionary, as well as revolutionary, grand strategy game. Help rewrite history with 6 full length, open ended campaigns beginning at key stages of World War II!



18/20 Tortuga: Pirates of the New World:

Experience the huge world of "Tortuga", with its 16 very different scenarios either as a buccaneer in service of his Majesty or as a feared pirate. Your riches will expand through successful piracy, theft of ships, plundering of towns or completion of missions from the town governments.

But make haste, and be wary of the treachery and mutiny that can reduce all of that to nothing.

You start the game with a small reserve of money and a basic ship, which is suitable only for the smaller prey and voyages to discover the rest of the world. To gain in strength you need to get larger, stronger ships, which would make the conquering of cities a real possibility.

Successful raids on transport, trade and military convoys as well as on pirates provide the funds for the much needed faster, more agile ships as well as the well-equipped battleships.

Accepting missions from your local Mayor will help you gain riches for yourself and for your crew, who are eagerly awaiting their share of the treasures.

The entire game world is filled with traders, pirates and buccaneers, as well as huge transport convoys. All you have to do is select the right targets and adversaries. Be careful though, lest the hunter become the hunted

Each action you take has consequences on all four nations in the game. Upon attaining higher notoriety the player will receive the opportunity to undertake missions from the Mayor as well as purchase Letters of Marque. Special missions are also available to help the player reach his initial goals in the game.



19/20 Tortuga: Two Treasures:

Set in the Caribbean of the early 18th century, "Tortuga - Two Treasures" is an action adventure brimming with Caribbean myth, legendary treasures and fearsome pirates.

Renowned writers Wolfgang Walk, Mark L. Barrett and Bob Bates tell the tale of Thomas "Hawk" Blythe and his powerful adversary, Edward Teach, better known as the dreaded Blackbeard. It is as much a pirate tale as ever there was, and this is one to make the blood boil with love and honor, conspiracy and theft, violence and murder.

Each of the many missions poses a fresh challenge for the hero "Hawk". At land or at sea there are new skills to master, as well as special items to collect and use with cunning in order to defeat your enemies and build your reputation as a freebooter.

Set your sails and stand ready for challenging and exhilarating action in the Caribbean.


Thomas "Hawk" Blythe is the captain of the swift pirate frigate "Hawkwind". Both he and his girlfriend, the voodoo priestess Sangua, captain ships under the high command of the notorious pirate leader "Blackbeard".

Together, Hawk and Sangua embark on a search for the legendary treasure of Henry Morgan. Morgan was an infamous pirate and Governor of Jamaica approximately fifty years earlier. Many rumours surrounded Morgan and the immeasurable wealth he had amassed during his years of piracy and governing. It is said that, before he died, Morgan secreted away his treasures and ruthlessly eliminated all those who had any knowledge of these riches.

Whilst hunting for an almost mythical treasure brings its own difficulties, Hawk's progress is hindered by a merciless twist of fate.

Tortuga - Two Treasures tells of Thomas "Hawk" Blythe's struggle against a world growing blacker by the day. Betrayal and death are but a small element of Hawk's adventures. Forged treasure maps, voodoo magic, a deadly curse and the seemingly ever-present threat of Blackbeard's wrath all appear focused on stifling Hawk as he plunges into a battle for power, romance, treasure and truth.
