Only got the Aarklash on sale, wierd it was 'only' 40% off during the big sale and now 60. Lets try out teh next gen RtwP, it will be a nice hint how Eternity will play out.

Edit: played the first map, game plays/controls like League of Legends(QWER + mouse) only with 4 characters at the same time and pause at will(spacebar). So not a problem for me to control, took a moment to remember what each ability did. Only gets a bit hectic if Im not abusing the pause too much. Bros go up in levels, spells stay the same but you higher values atleast.
4 quite unique chars and the game looks pretty, no complaints there. No classic inventory but you collect earings, rings, amulets that you can equip.
Game did derp a bit, cause me giving a direct order should override any other queued order. It got stuck several times at autoattacking and if I order it to move it took like 10 secs till it overrides the command. Happened like 3 or 4 times.
Combat is ok and kinda interesting, nice original PC's but simple char development, you dont get to put points anywhere or anything other than equipping a ring or an amulet from time to time.

Aren't those autoattack-no-input-taken sprees just an effect of your toons being taunted? That's exactly how the condition works. Oh, and skills do change with leveling, some subtly, some drasticallly. AoE knockdown may be specced to be a single target stun instead, big damage buff gets a on-hit silence or blind, damage over time effect may change into a channelled life drain, thingies and stuffies.
Overall a fun little trpg.
Hmm, could be tho I didnt notice any visual feedback, little popup above their heads or similar would work wonders.

New big sale in 10 minutes? Hope it won't be as tiring as the Insomnia-thing!

That being said, I did miss Jack Keane 2 last time. :p

So basically - Insomnia sale 2.0
At least it's not limited by copies (in digital stuff? Duh).

EDIT
heard that King's Quest is next. Could grab it.

Fuck you GOG, I don't have money, but if you pull a sale like this, I have to buy my beloved games no matter what.

It's still going! The release of MMX must have raised awareness of the franchise.

Goddamn this is a good sale! If I didn't already have all these I'd have bought them :D

Surprised about Zork Anthology though, I thought Activision made them freeware back in the late 90s? (around the time Z:GI came out?)

The first three Zork games were released for free and are still available on fansites, but I don't think that Beyond Zork, Zork Zero, or Planetfall ever were. There are a couple of games like this on GOG; Betrayal at Krondor, for example, was released as freeware around the time that Betrayal in Antara came out but is packaged on GOG with the latter (which never was, to the best of my knowledge).

Picked up the Tomb Raider bundle, none of the ones I missed were of interest.
