We have released The Hugo Trilogy and we hope you enjoy these classics

I remember Hugo 3 coming on a 1001 game cd about 18 or so years ago.

I remember playing this lots, great if frustrating game.

 

[catfood]

I had this on a CD together with about 50 or so other DOS shareware games. Good times. Not worth 6 bucks though.

 

[Sceptic]

Not worth 6 bucks though.

Your mom isn't worth 6 bucks.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Oh man, wacky wheels.

Taunting the opposition with the devil flashing his butt was the best part of the game

 

[:Flash:]

With games like Wacky Wheels GOG should really give a list of what's it contains.
Those shareware games often had multiple releases with extra packs for additional $10 or what, and I never know if I have the complete version. I know my Wacky Wheels has "normal tracks" and "bonus tracks".
The GOG site doesn't even tell how much tracks it includes.


We played this to death as children. It's one of the best hotseat games out there. Unfortunately, player 1 *always* gets a head start, there's nothing you can do about it. In the end we were so good at it, that player 1 could collect all the hedgehogs in the first lap, and player 2 had no chance of winning, ever.

 

[dunno lah]

Couldn't help it...

Says "fully registered version" which means it includes everything. There were no multiple releases or extra packs, there was the shareware version, which was free and acted like a demo, and the registered version, which included everything. All Apogee games were like this.

Yes, but I never know if the version i already have includes everything.

That is not correct. If I select "ordering info" in my Wacky Wheels, it says
"Order Wacky Wheels for $24,95 plus shipping and get all this: 15 total Race tracks (10 extra), ..."
"Order the UPGRADE EDITION for just $10 more! The Wacky Wheels UPGRADE EDITION gives you a total of 21 extra wacky race tracks. ..."

And this is just the original release, there were shareware games where I thought I had the full game (and it said so) only to learn 20 years later that there was an extension pack released later.

Huh, I didn't remember this. You're right in this case, it's impossible to tell from the GOG blurbs if it's the regustered version or the Upgrade Edition. I don't remember this with any of the other Apogee games but maybe I'm wrong as well. I do remember some of the "extensions" being sold separately (like Spear of Destiny, which was for all intents and purpose a Wolf 3D expansion but was sold at full price).

Wacky Wheels is probably, together with Stunts, the game I played the most with my brother as a kid.

EA Games 60% off.
It seems GOG.com has been reading what I'm playing. Time to pick up Ultima Underworld and try those out since I was amazed by System Shock 1.

Edit: fix'd link

Next time you include a gog.com link in your post, add ?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8 at the end of the URL, so that the Codex will get some money for the referral.

GOG is now selling movies!! http://af.gog.com/movies?as=1649904300 O_o

and there's a nice website redesign.

 

[adddeed]

Not bad, but was not needed either.

 

[LESS T_T]

Hey, wait...

We'll be removing a number of games from the GOG.com catalog - here's your last call to get them with a special discount!

Today, we're here to honor the promise we gave you to announce ahead of time whenever we're taking a game down from sales. We wanted to give you one last chance to get the titles we're delisting with a considerable discount, and the partners involved agreed. There are 35 games on that list and you can get them all for up to 80% off until Tuesday, September 2, at 3:59AM GMT. Any title you buy will remain in your collection even after it's removed from our catalog, so you can always download and re-download the installers and bonus content. Check out the promo page to see which games this concerns.

We're still ironing out a few details. For now, the promo pages, like the one for the Last Chance Special, list all the game prices only in US dollars. But don't freak out: if you chose to use your local currency you will see the prices in local currency in checkout, and you can still finalize the transaction in local currency. We hope to have this issue fixed within the next weeks.

So, Nordic Games pulling out from GOG, that's that. But why Firctional pulling out their games?

 

[tuluse]

Apparently it's a pricing issue: http://af.gog.com/forum/general/last_chance_special/post10?as=1649904300

 

[Siveon]

Thanks for the heads up, Less.

It's a little odd to be buying Gothic 2 & 3 before 1, but 1 is gonna be discounted eventually I suppose. Wonder what else is on the list that's worth the 2 bucks.

Really like that new design too, I'm guessing they're gearing up for that client they were talking about.

 

[J_C]

I like the new website design. The games pulled out is a bummer, but I already bought those I want anyway. And it is pretty cool from GOG that they give a huge discount on them before the game dissapear.

GOG:

 

[Gragt]

Hooray, they’re removing Jack Keane 2!

 

[LESS T_T]

Oh, yeah. I see THAT JACK KEANE 29.99.

 

[Sinatar]

Just an FYI, if anyone is wanting to get Gothic 2, jump on this with a swiftness. The steam version of Gothic 2 is completely busted thanks to a recentish Steam update.

 

[Infinitron]

The steam version of Gothic 2 is completely busted thanks to a recentish Steam update.

Details?

 

[Astral Rag]

The steam version of Gothic 2 is completely busted thanks to a recentish Steam update.

Details?

Sinatar is right, I just downloaded the game from Steam and it crashed to desktop when I tried to start a new game.

Not sure how they managed to fuck this up.
