Taluntain recently informed us that his solid gold jacuzzi is in dire need of a jewel-encrusted rim and specialized jets that only spray a combination of Krug Grand Cuvée and Susanna Hoff's sweat. To that end, we're hyping the latest Good Old Games promotion, <a href="http://af.gog.com/en/promo/interplay_highlights?as=1649904300" target="blank">Interplay Highlights Weekend</a>.
<br>
<blockquote>Tastes may differ and we know about it. That's why this weekend we're offering you a grub for everyone. If you're a hardcore RPG fan, action oriented gamer or armchair general you'll fnd something especially for you in the offering. Until Monday, November 30 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, we're giving you a 30% discount on four classics from the Interplay catalogue: Stonekeep, Descent 3 + Expansion, Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Sacrifice. It's not a bundle promotion, so you'll receive the 30% discount if you buy one, two, three or all four of these titles.</blockquote>
<br>
So you're looking at $4.19 a pop or $16.76 altogether.
<br>
<br>
On a side note, they've also just added <a href="http://af.gog.com/en/gamecard/ufo_aftermath/?as=1649904300" target="blank">UFO: Aftermath</a>, but really, you're better off getting UFO: Aftershock if you're interested in the series.

Realtime combat, attributes increase through use, idiotic party members. It was an underwhelming dungeon crawler at that time, its main selling points being cinematics, voice-overs and digitalized graphics (it all aged pretty bad obviosly).

Personally, didn't have much luck with it, had plenty of crashes in the sewers, but that is most likely fixed by now.

I wouldn't recommend it either. It was ok at the time, mostly because it "looked good" but real time fights are really not my thing anymore. Throwing weapons and stuff was fun though.

Yeah I didnt like the combat in UFO games... was it like real time with forced pause or something like that ?

Si, realitime with not bad configurable pause. Later parts of game were truly lolzy, when you start in open wide map in a corner and the aliens shot you with their uber rockets. Fast scout can trigger rockets and avoid getting hit though.

Wait: Interplay made Citizen kabuto? Fuck. Fuck you Herve. Fuck you games industry. Fuck you world. <emotear>
Not really. It was made by a bunch of ex-Shiny people. I think they fell off the face of the earth or something.
