Face unshaven, whisky poured, and its just started raining outside. Must be time.
First Grimoire, now this
GOG on its way to redemption
You can get around the region lock by using GOG Galaxy. I'm in Germany right now and could get Postal 2 through it, and I can also buy Mortal Kombat 1-3. So, yeah, weird.(If you're from Germany, POSTAL 1 and 2 are geolocked for you, but since both are free now, just ask a non-German user - either on the gog forum or a fellow Codexer - to get a gift code for you and you should be all set. There is no restriction on redeeming gift codes. This should work for POSTAL 2 until the 18th and permanently for POSTAL.)

Alcon Interactive Group
https://www.alconent.com/aig/
Alcon Interactive Group (AIG), Alcon’s newly formed division, emerged as a natural extension of the company’s core medium of feature films. George Collins joined AIG as President along with Al Cuenca, SVP of Digital and New Media, to produce digital entertainment products rooted in internally developed and acquired properties. AIG will base their initial ventures on the upcoming Blade Runner 2049 film. The first of which is a partnership with leading virtual reality company Oculus where they will create and distribute virtual reality experiences (VRE).
Huh, so it's finally happened because the film production company behind Blade Runner 2049 also started doing video game business.
It's really the ScummVM folks that deserve all the praise - they've been the ones who've been working away at it for years.
Apparently they've even restored some extra bits to it.
Hopefully all the CPU timing issues and other quirks are fixed.
It's on my PC. I haven't tried to buy MK because I already have them on my laptop, but I did get the Postal 2 free offer and it's in my library now.Are you using Galaxy from a notebook? If so, the likely explanation is that Galaxy still has your home country's cookies stored on your machine, which is why the storefront from your country shows up. When buying a game, gog checks your location cookies twice: once when you go to checkout, then again when you proceed to payment. If it detects during either check that you're in another country, the purchase will fail and you're sent back to the main page. Did you go through with the Mortal Kombat purchase or were you just able to see the store page? Because normally, it would decide during either check that you've been a bad boy and reset your cookies to the German storefront (likewise, when you make another purchase from your home country, it will reset the cookies to your home country again). If you were really able to actually buy MK via Galaxy from Germany, that would be an interesting exploit.

You’ve done a man’s job, sir. I guess you’re through, huh?
Like they say - where there’s a will, there’s a way. Restoring the Blade Runner video game to its former glory required one useful tool and loads of passion for retro games. The first one came in a form of ScummVM program, previously used to emulate classic LucasArts adventure games, which currently supports many classic games available on GOG.COM. The passion came from the programmers who spend around 8 years dissecting the code from Blade Runner’s original CDs and then painstakingly putting it together again to form the digital version.
GOG sent me an e-mail that I can get the remastered D&D games for 85%.
Worth it?

It's worth it in the sense if you don't have originals and that's the only way to get them digitally nowadays. I got this offer as well. Here's the code if someone is interested -

It's nice to see it available again but let's not get too excited about what GOG do 99% of the time.
