Lucasfilm strikes back.

January 27:
It's been a long weekend for Star Wars™ fans among us. Today marks the return of Lucasfilm on GOG.com: WAVE II, with the final batch of three Star Wars™ titles:

A 20% launch discount awaits those who join the fight against the dark side in the next 72-hours with three new releases:
Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
<i>Star Wars&trade;</i> Republic Commando
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Starfighter&trade;

As the Wave II timer ticks down to a zero for the last time, one of the most exciting weeks in the history of GOG.com comes to a close. We couldn't be happier with the series of amazing titles we added to our catalog this week, and we're proud to have teamed up with ©Disney Interactive to finally restore six iconic Star Wars™ games back into the hands of gamers exclusively on GOG.com.

January 22:
The time is now! Lucasfilm strikes back with three more Star Wars™ classics available now on GOG.com! This means the exclusive GOG.com digital premiere of two more spacefaring titles:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Rogue Squadron - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Rebellion - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Empire at War: Gold Pack is now also available for purchase, DRM-free with a 72-hour, 20% launch discount!

The timer is still ticking, so stay tuned for one more reveal from ©Disney Interactive and GOG.com!

January 20:
A long time ago in a galaxy near you, ©Disney Interactive and <B>GOG.com</B> teamed up to bring you the holy grail of classic gaming: six Lucasfilm cult-classics were added to our DRM-free catalog, including three titles which saw their digital premiere on GOG.com. We also made a promise to bring you many more cult-classics in the future and, believe us, we did not forget.

Today, with great pride and joy, we're excited to announce Wave II of Lucasfilm games on GOG.com! Starting right now, six new Star Wars™ classics are available in our DRM-free Lucasfilm/Disney catalog. This includes three amazing titles available, for the first time in digital distribution, exclusively on GOG.com:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade; - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

We're also celebrating the DRM-free release of these Star Wars™ games with a 72-hour 20% launch discount:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Battlefront&trade; II
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Dark Forces
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade; II: The Sith Lords&trade;

Just in case you missed your chance last time, you can grab three more Lucasfilm classics for the same 20% discount, until Friday, January 30, at 1:59 PM GMT!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade;
Indiana Jones&reg; and the Fate of Atlantis&trade;
The Secret of Monkey Island&trade;: Special Edition

Our Lucasfilm/Disney is made that much more impressive today thanks to our team-up with ©Disney Interactive. The 6 new Star Wars™ releases, which include 3 digital premieres exclusively on GOG.com, are barely the beginning. We're not saying more right now, but we know the wait will be worth it for six great reasons - keep watching the front page and stay tuned for more exciting Lucasfilm titles releasing on GOG.com when the timer strikes zero!

Don't you mean "way to GOG"? :D

I love you GOG.

X-Wing and Tie Fighter were favorites since I was a kid, but I never pulled the trigger on the other flight sims because they were just too expensive. Finally that has changed.

Never played Galactic Battlegrounds either. Its like Christmas.

zaine-h: Thank you for the detailed rundown of the differences!
Hope it helps (assuming you haven't already gone and impulse-bought all the Star Wars titles regardless)! :)

Dark Forces. Finally!

I hope GOG will bring older games like Rebel Assault 1-2, too!

Pity no DF for Mac. Strange, only Windows and Linux, I thought it runs in Boxer, demo did. Hope it will be added later.

30 more hours. It's too far!

Instabought Dark Forces and both KOTOR's (previous went onto the wishlist - but I could not hold out any longer :)
Posted January 21, 2015
So I guess Dark Forces works better from GoG than from Steam? I played the Steam version and it was pretty buggy

Damn it's kinda bad luck and bad timing. Went for a crazy drinking spree not long ago thinking Gog's not gonna have anything for me in the near future, spent most of my extra cash. Got Dark forces at least :)

As my link indicates, it's not technical issues in this case.

I added all Disney games into my cart. Dang, about 80€... but it is 12 famous games, some of which I really want. Not that interested into Sam & Max and Indiana Jones though, already played them back in the 90s and never got an urge to replay them, but I guess these are talkie versions that I didn't have.

I'll have to think about it a bit more, but most probably I will break down and buy them all anyway. I can buy less food in the coming two weeks, that should cover that expenses! Doing my grocery shopping usually takes around 50-70€ a pop anyway.

Not that I am running out of money, but I should save up for our trip to Thailand, and maybe speed up the repayments of my mortgage as well (I feel the current 25 year repayment plan is too long, gah... then again I know those crazy Swedes have mortgage repayment plans of 100-500 years or something like that, ie. apparently they are never going to repay them... and the Swedish banks are fine with that?).

Awww phuck it...

"Here goes nothing!"

12 more games into my GOG account. (EDIT: Actually 14 apparently, as X-Wing and Tie Fighter games are listed twice.)

Ophelium: Does that mean I start inviting people over for cuddles and cake?

I know some people are sorely disappointed at what was released. Personally, I'm just going to pick up KOTOR II out of this lot. I also know it's highly unlikely that I'll ever see the game I really want on here (Transylvania). But still I'm happy we get something good instead of RPGMaker games or the Gauntlet remake.
:P
I'm a joker, I know. Buddhist random quotes always amuse me :D
They're a good way to cool down the pace..

Anyways, I thought the Gauntlet remake was pretty awesome. It isn't?!

And about the Transylvania series here on GOG, well, gotta have faith, man. This kinda obscure series (right?) caught my attention once, though I didn't play it at the time. But it seems pretty awesome. Gotta see that in motion. And I just voted for it! :)

edit: just saw that these games were re-released for the iOS. They look like "The Hugo Trilogy" games, which I happen to like a lot.
Why do you say they'll never appear here?! I'm curious.
