I bought this at a Blockbuster Video for $9.99 back in the 90s. Now that the giveaway is over, I clicked on the link to see how much it goes for. Still $9.99. I've never actually played it, but if that price still holds up, I guess the games do, too!

I have Armada 1, but not the two DLCs. I found the interface a bit clunky and left it to do something else, and kinda never got back to it.

I'm not buying the two DLCs of a game I don't know if I'll like yet, so I'm I'm just going cheap and buy two cheap games: Fire Warrior and I of the Dragon. Can't go wrong for price of less than a Starbucks drink.

I dont know. I thought Starbucks drinks were a kidney and 3 fingers these days. Toss in a cornea and they add sugar.

Grabbed it with 30 minutes to spare (I think!).

i own this game like five or six times over by now. from the beginning, i remember having some sort of registration problem with The Witcher in 2009 and Atari (the second French incarnation, not the current shell/holding/licensing outfit) tech support sent me two keys by mistake

Thank you. Have the discs from - yikes - almost 19 years ago, apparently. Great to find & obtain old favourites, digitally.

You're welcome. Yes I didn't realize it was 2001 when this came out either. Been a while.

Supposedly you can get The Witcher Enhanced Edition free. Im not seeing it but I own it so maybe thats why.

I know that was weird.

Activision has the publishing rights to Heretic II, so this won't be resolved anytime soon.

i did buy Syberia II and III on GOG today, just so i would have the whole series in one place.

some Future Cop: LAPD type vibes going on here

Isometric action shooter, procedural sectors (enter here, shoot things, exit at the other side), each shooter vehicle has a "gimmick" that does change the tactics quite drastically (one's a hovercraft and thus very nimble, another is a tank but can raise its turrets to shoot OVER buildings...). It's a short burst of fun, but I didn't like the mission unlock mechanism.

I see Mission Force Cyberstorm is available. Now That is a true classic.

Still have my old boxed copy. I played the living daylights out of it when it came out. I was awful at it though and just lost all the time. Horrible to watch my little clone pilots burn and melt in their cockpits with their bulging eyes. I never got close to finishing it but man I had fun. Except for the nightmares.

Yeah, it is pretty hard to build up the right force. I think I played on easy and NEVER used chems and basically played as many missions as possible to max out my force before trying the big finale.

Green Man Gaming ≠ GOG.

lol oops

The original XIII is currently free to claim. This one still looks quite good if you modify the resolution to modern resolutions and add force anti-aliasing in the control panel.

I think tomorrow is the last day you can get the War in the East/West series extremely cheap. Like $23 for the main games.

They are giving away Tonight We Riot.

Mission Force: Cyberstorm, the old classic from Dynamix / Sierra is $5 if anyone's still interested.

Got it in box when it came out. Had fun with it.
