The Elder Scrolls. Quake & Doom. Fallout. Alright.

Welcome, Bethesda, to our pantheon of all-time classics!
Today, we're happy to start a blooming new partnership with Bethesda Softworks, one that brings an impressive lineup of their unforgettable games to our DRM-free platform, and plenty of guts and nuclear smiles to our faces.

We're teaming up to release some of the greatest hits from the Bethesda vault, some DRM-free for the first time ever. Eleven new arrivals include The Elder Scrolls and two digital-distribution premieres, totally retro id Software shooters, plus the long-awaited return of the Fallout franchise! To make the day even sweeter, The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall will be added to your game shelf entirely for free when you buy any Bethesda game.





<span class="bold">The Elder Scrolls</span>, perched high up among the most famous video-game worlds ever created, are now DRM-free and updated for your modern computer - you can purchase all three to receive a 33% discount.:
--The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition.
--The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard - digital distribution premiere.
--The Elder Scrolls: Battlespire - digital distribution premiere.
--The Elder Scrolls: Arena - FREE with any Bethesda purchase.
--The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall - FREE with any Bethesda purchase, too.





Megahit <span class="bold">id Software</span> first-person shooters join the fray - also 33% off if you grab all three:
--Quake including Mission Pack 1 and Mission Pack 2
--The Ultimate DOOM
--DOOM II + Master Levels for Doom II + Final DOOM





And last we find that goodbyes are not forever (and that war never changes). <span class="bold">Fallout</span>, the premiere post nuclear role playing game franchise is finally back on GOG.com! Save 66% if you complete your collection in one purchase.
--Fallout
--Fallout 2
--Fallout Tactics



The bundle promos end on Wednesday, September 2, 12:59 PM GMT.

BillyMaysFan59: Hey with Bethesda on board, that probably means Arx Fatalis is safe here. It may even get.... *gasp*.... a discount some day! :o
Now you're really getting your hopes up unrealistically. ;)

If somebody buys a Bethesda game as a gift, who will get the free games? The buyer or the one who redeems the gift?

Cool beans. Also nice to see the old Fallouts back, even in their weird double forms. *shrug* It'll be interesting to see what other games will be coming our way from their back catalog.

For now I may very well disappear into a deep dank hole with all these Elder Scrolls games with a side of shotgun-in-demon-faces. First things first though: Need to finish Eye of the Beholder 1, lest I won't bother to finish it at all.

Anyway, as far as classics go, the way things have been going this year may prove to be actually one of GOG's best if not THE best since they opened their doors. It'll be tough for them to come even comparatively close again in the future.

Themken: WOOOOOT!

My jaw dropped (how unsightly).

Welcome Bethesda, welcome!

Sure did not expect that even if only the very old games are on GOG now
same here , and more, I checked the gog, and what did i see, ? WOW!!!!
bang i smacked down the chair...
lucky for me i landed softly :D

i bought it at once ...

very nice game, good memories to it and the time i bought it.
the minute i saw it in the local shop, i had to have it, grabbed all my cash and rushed to the local Toys R Us retail store.
Later fallout 2 arrived aswell (toys r us )

check screenshots the first games are old so i paid in guilders, the last one amaray cd box is in euros
still have the original manuals of 1 and 2, the full box is gone, carton doesnot preserve that well.

These are the games with a story, excitement, atmosphere, and without motionsickness or photosensitivity risks for me.

If nowadays devs would make games in this style (forget the 3d for a moment and the unity engine) then i be sold to games like these, this kind of games i love, this kind of games i can play, this kind of games i am looking for over the internet and in some stores which sell leftover old retail games .
If there was more like this , like there are tons of 3d, then i would have almost twice as much games then i have now.

thank you GOG for getting the games back to GOG.

I definitely didn't expect Bethesda, whom I thought would never accept selling DRM-free. I'm glad they changed their ways somewhat, at least for classic games. Morrowind is an awesome release, a game I've been itching to play by the way. Here I come Morrowind!

I would think the free games are triggered by adding a Bethesda purchase to a shelf, so they likely go with the key. Could be wrong, of course.

I'm curious as to what happens when multiple people redeem off that same bundle key. Does the first redeemer get the free games? Or everyone? Moot if it's the buyer, of course.

BillyMaysFan59: Whatever :P I'm content with the installers I downloaded over a year ago, it's the same game and all.

IAmSinistar: We got official confirmation, the base games are the same.
Thanks.

Take-Two. I'm in the mood for some Grand Theft Auto.

I cannot even begin to imagine who had to get blown for this to happen, but I'm glad it did. Just bought the TES and ID packs, and look forward to plenty more from Bethesda in the future. Quake II with expansions? Quake III Arena/Team Arena? A whole new world is open with Bethesda jumping on the GOG bandwagon.
