Yikes $220 for the full game! Some people gets a 1000+ hours out of it.

What? Lordy. That better be a damn good game for that.

It seems that Kodex Konsensus is against that. I've just finished Icewind Dale Complete from GOG - and I wondered what all new-fangled games from 2013 are all about ... Anyhow - Civilization IV from 2005 is absolute blast - shame about newer releases are not available from GOG. However - they may be a bit shit from what I've heard.

ublock started blocking codex gog links?

It has for a while, the forum automatically inserts the Codex affiliate link IIRC.

The first game look very VN and nothing more. No blobber or tactical battlefield.

The second has some angel trying to prevent the demon lust empire from taking over the earth? Maybe things like fucking or lusting. Seems that angel can fuck in its menu options. Good for the angel goose eh but not the ganders. Angelic tyranny I see.

(No i haven't looked into these "games" other than a few screenies provided.)

Codex brother-a-renos, Return to *beeping* Monkey Island is here! DRM-free!

It places the series Ron Gilbert's fat *beeping" back in the franchise’s director’s chair for the first time in 30 *beeping* years!

Grab your *beeping* copy from GOG: https://af.gog.com/en/game/return_to_monkey_island?as=1649904300, and write a *beeping* review, it helps a lot!

Try to be kind. While uncle-a-who Ron is a well known attention *beeping*, he's also sensitive as a snowflake and a *beeping* butthurt to the mega!

We surely don't want to upset our beloved uncle-a-who and make him quit the *beeping* Twitter-a-reno permanently (again).

Can't wait to read your *beeping* reviews, mine will be under the name of your beloved *beeping* clown.



P.S - If it helps, I can re-post the shit uncensored.

Hmmmmm...... maybe,

I meant on GOG review section, not the RtMI thread.

If sales fail then that will be on mega discount later. I'll definitely watch a review or 10 on it. I only dabbled in the original but got sidetracked with something rpg related (if i were to guess it was a Roguelike or topdown dungeon crawler... I bet Apshai.)

Anyways, I finally cucked up to get a few more gog titles. Even though this isn't the first game in the entire franchise I bought Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. Researching and I'll have to go find the Dragonslayer series and plough through them if possible. There is even a sega saturn version but the oldest retro look interesting and i need to get said emulator up snd running.

I also got the latest Solasta DLC even though it wasn't discounted. Death Trash had my interest for a bit so I snagged it. And my final decision was to grab the Gamedec with the extras being on a decent discount. And, I thought Hero's Hour might be a fun little past time to not take serious at all. The comical bouncing autistic troops amuse me.


It might be a while before I download as the library seems to have shut down every computer and wifi. They did this on Cybermonday of all days like pricks. They've done this before and for a whole week or more. They already had half their computers shut down. They sure love their bonds and tax money though. The fucking main librarian is a fucking prick and I'd love to throw him through a few windows. A real liberal asshole.

Mirrorsoft, a company who rereleases old games and seems to basically just put a DOS wrapper around their releases, has put a bunch of their titles on GOG. Not new rereleases of DOS titles, but ones that have been out on Steam for a few years. You may remember them for their rerelease of the dungeon crawler Bloodwych, which was the DOS version of a game that was also on Amiga, and lacks the expansions of the latter. It was apparently broken and unplayable. There is a point in which a staircase that should be there, isn't, and they've apparently done nothing about it in the years they've sold it.
Here's the whole list of the new titles. I haven't played any of them, but I note that Blade Warrior, The Killing Cloud and Theme Park Mystery were on my radar as interesting titles. Blade Warrior in particular has a very interesting visual style.
However, taking a look, I also note a few things you should be on the look out for if you're that rare Codexer actually interested in supporting some company's lazy attempts at reselling old games.
First, we have Interphase, which I've played briefly. It wasn't terribly exciting, but it might pick up later...except that it was made by The Assembly Line, a company who made a bunch of early 3D games who's badness beggars belief.
Then we have Trantor, a game I think is based off a 2000AD comic. Its the DOS version, a CGA, undoubtedly PC speaker DOS version. Even the also presumably crap ZX Spectrum version would be better, if there's some reason why companies can't just port Atari ST games in these packages. Even discounting that fact I suspect its probably a crappy game anyway.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Funny you mention that game:

5:27 is quite relevant. I agree with blade warrior.... maybe I am blade warrior....

Don't confuse this game with the other one....

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Is Annals of Rome any good? Seems like it should cost $0.25 cents.

Only review i found thus far. Where the hell are the manuals?

Edit.....

Lol, myabandonware still has these games. Manuals are a bit all over the place. Any point getting these? Well, I bet myabandonware will erase the DL links soon.

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

I wouldn't bother, even if Myabandonware eventually notices they're not going to remove any manuals, and any better versions on Amiga or whatever you should probably be getting from dedicated Amiga sites or somesuch.

Bah, posted this in wrong thread:​

Stop the porn and become a

Kagura said steam banned new game:​

Heavenly Heroes of Antidomi​

So thank GOG for still selling Porny Games? I guess???

I remember this bug from my HotU-days: It's a bug present in the original MS-DOS version.

It was fixed ~20 years ago, and IIRC the fixed version was available on HotU for many years (it may even still be).

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

HOTU? I doubt it.

HOTU these days basically just consists of an old, badly written review, and then telling you to google anything you actually want from the game. The places that are left are all just old shells of a once great website. Come to think of it, that probably applies to a lot of abandonware websites.

 

[spekkio]

I've started reading your last sentence:

And I was expecting "Codex" at the end.

No version of the once great website at Archive.org?
