Funny, I literally just did the exact same thing to the same number even. Now I'm a bit scared to ask which ones you got, if it's the same list no stain remover will be able to clean my chair

Surely I'm the only one dumb enough to buy The Mystery of the Druids.

Only thing I know about MotD is the infamous cover art.

I got the Tex Murphy games and a few Sierra and Lucasarts oldies I still didn't have, like Freddy Pharkas, which I never played. I believe I completed the catalog of both companies, at last.

Edit: yeah, I now own every game under the "developed by Sierra" tag except for Codename Iceman (which my super monocle'd Sierra connoisseur friend swears is terrible) and the 3D Larry game.

Also all the Lucasarts adventures, but not their complete catalog as they have those 3960 million SW Flight Sims and so on in the mix.

I bought anything halfway decent like that a long time ago, I'm really scraping the bottle of the barrel now in my quest to waste money.

Another old classic is out
https://af.gog.com/game/the_dark_heart_of_uukrul?as=1649904300

iirc there is only one but massive level?

 

[Strange Fellow]

Holy shit, now that's unexpected.

Scott Greig worked countless years to get The Dark Heart of Uukrul rereleased. This is dedicated to him.

Wonder who this fellow is. He certainly deserves a brofist or two.

iirc there is only one but massive level?

Not really, the game takes place in a single dungeon, but it's divided into sections separated by sanctuaries (aka save points), with each section having its own theme, so to speak.

Anyway, best dungeon crawler ever made right there. Go play it, everyone.

Great Good Old Game addition that's for sure! "Best dungeon crawler"? Not sure I'll go that far but certainly up there with the best.

Nobody's going to comment on the price? 7 bucks? Wtf?

Crooked Bee would be loving this.

But wait, who is the publisher? "Moon Books LLC". Is that these guys? https://moonbooks.net/

Looks like it's related to this guy Scott: https://af.gog.com/news/breleaseb_the_dark_heart_of_uukrul?as=1649904300

Highly requested first-person RPG classic The Dark Heart of Uukrul joins GOG.COM’s always-growing library of titles today. Originally released in 1989, it's one that holds a special place in many people’s hearts, including Scott Greig (Kill0byt3), who sadly passed away while working on bringing this game back to gamers everywhere.

Scott had a monumental role in re-releasing this game. Sadly, he passed away back in March 2020, while working on making it a reality. According to GOG Stream Team member, Kilg0re, “Scott was a huge fan of the game. He contacted the devs, got them interested, and organized the re-release with the two people responsible for making it, Ian Boswell and Martin Buis.”

His friend, Gregory Wilson (ArvanEleron), also wanted everyone to know how dedicated Scott was to the project: “Canada and Winnipeg area native Scott Greig was a graphic designer and web designer, an aspiring author, streamer, and lover of video games. For a number of years, he was the webmaster and principal graphic designer for GOG's Twitch streamer ArvanEleron, responsible for many of his on stream videos, overlays, and graphics (several of which are still featured every week on Arv's Pen & Pixels show on GOG). Scott was also a mod on a number of channels, and both well-liked and well respected by many online and offline communities.”

[Infinitron]

It's just like I've said in the past. There are many missing games that could be added to GOG if a volunteer fan was willing to do the work of putting the deal together.

Oh, and that Arvan Eleron guy is involved too. He did some Kickstarter developer interviews back in the day.

Correction to my earlier post: Scott Greig deserves a salute

What do you mean by "would be"?!! That's past tense!

 

[Bara]

Huh when I was looking for videos to see Dark Heart of Uukrul in motion I came across this song which I assume is about the game?

[good fucking shit happen]

Hey hey people, the GOG gremlin is here again and with more deals you can't refuse. Paradox has a sale and that means Obsidian games are on sale.

But before we come to that, their own GSG games are on sale too. Victoria is cheap and objectively speaking the best GSG out there. 75% off? You can't even buy two socks for that price. Too old you say? Get the sequel then, even if it is inferior to the first game. 50% off and not nearly as cheap, but you get your graphics whoring sated in your GSG playing. The sprites are actually much uglier than the 2D ones, but the GUI is fucking nice. The Heart of Darkness expansion and unit skins are also off by 50%. What is wrong with GSG addicts? They should be put in asylums.

What's that, you're some kind of nazicommie larper and want to relive WW2? Fuck you, buy Hearts of Iron 2 at 75% off and grow chest hair, maybe you'll stop being such a faggot then. Waah, waah, wah, I hear, you want a 3D piece of shit with a hundred different things that should have been in the game in the first place, now sold piecemeal back to you? 75% off on that too, and you buy it as one game and an expansion rather than flaying you for a 32x32 pixels big unit skin or a soundtrack song that you could have put as an mp3 in some file directory, or a game mechanics patch.

Perhaps you aren't a fag after all, then put on your powdered wig and grab Europa Universalis 3, also 75% off, no bullshit, all in one package, as the game should have been on release.

Enough about the GSG games games already, give me the RPG meat, I can see you mouth. You got it, dear potential customer. But before that I just want to mention that Imperator is also on sale on GOG, half-price. There are two or three PR guys in the Codex thread you can ask if it has stopped being a piece of shit yet. Ask Theodora about Europa Universalis: Rome 2.0 and get your copy today! While supplies last.

Now let me whop it out, the offer you have been waiting for, Tyranny is on sale. Half-price for this half-finished title that had a lot of potential. Despite not being what it could have been, you can still read hot stories written by women about old men sucking dick and black men getting assraped until they can't hold their shit in anymore. Fucking hell, I just realized Paradox is the Western equivalent of 1C, but with incredibly malignant business practices, both in terms of project management, devs and the end customer. But you can relax, Tyranny wasn't a hit so they won't fuck you over anymore now, you can just grab it any enjoy it. Kyros is a pretty cool guy so check it out.

Tyranny is too boring you say? An old Obsidian game that everyone has already played? Then I can interest you in something more obscure perhaps? A real-time strategy game, featuring Arthurian legend, sort of Total War gameplay but is also coupled with RPG elements? Yeah, I can see you salivating already. The game is King Arthur - The Role-playing Wargame and it's very cheap right now. This is a game that will make you sweat by giving you a time limit and choices that matter. Do you have big dick enough to deal with the high pressure job on offer here? Pay the entry fee, download your copy and find out.

Got it, C$1.59 isn't too much to waste So far...I feel ripped off, forgot these were the same guys behind A Moment of Silence.

My theory is it's worth $1.50 to have a brief nostalgia trip with a 90s/early 2000s PC adventure game, even if I only play it for an hour. However all those $1.50s add up eventually.

True. Rather depressing the crap I've played just for want of a point and click game, I think Yesterday is the worst one so far. Hm...maybe I'll give Jack Keane a go, surely can't be as bad as people say, right ?

I have no clue what you guys are talking about, Mystery of the Droods is a classic.
