Uncovering a treasure trove of action and adventure.

©Disney Interactive and Lucasfilm games are back! They say third time's the charm, we're hoping you agree. Today, we're uncovering a true treasure trove of long-lost intrigue, action, and peril - digital premieres, beloved adventures, (and a shooter, but that's just another kind of adventure, isn't it?) all DRM-free and ready for your loving digital embrace:

<span class="bold">Outlaws + Handful of Missions</span> - digital distribution premiere
<span class="bold">Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders</span> - digital distribution premiere
<span class="bold">Indiana Jones&reg; and the Emperor's Tomb&trade;</span> - digital distribution premiere
<span class="bold">Monkey Island&trade; 2 Special Edition: LeChuck&rsquo;s Revenge&trade;</span> - 20% off
<span class="bold">The Dig&reg;</span> - 20% off
<span class="bold">LOOM&trade;</span> - 20% off


There is nothing quite as satisfying as reviving the most beloved and woefully unavailable (until now, that is) gaming classics for you guys, and we're super happy to have already released 24 of Lucasfilm's greatest already. After today's big wave, even more anticipated Lucasfilm games will gradually keep showing up on GOG.com in the far and near future, stay tuned!
All launch discounts will last for one week, until March 26, at 1:59 PM GMT.

yyahoo: Yeah, I can understand waiting for a big sale (cheapskate that I am), but to call a $6 game too expensive is just, IMHO, wackadoo.
its not the price, its the principal. For product from the 1990s I feel the games should be cheaper at base price. I do not have a problem spending money on games having just dropped 40 bucks on two new deeply discounted games, with a ton more coding, graphics etc and work. I feel they (Lucas Arts) are holding the reins a bit tight for their product name only.

However, that is my opinion and to all who buy, enjoy! cheers

It's just about the cheapest standard base price in the entire digital distribution industry. You'll find some less than that, but they're few and far between. The base prices have to be set at a level to leave room for a steep discount sale occasionally. A lot of these $6 games end up selling for $1.50 or so when that happens. Heck, I've got no problem with these games having a base price of $10 as long as the occasional sale pushes them down to $2.50. That said, I'm skeptical we'll get a discount that high on any of the Disney titles, so $6 feels just about right. But, to each their own.

and now I wait for discount for a whole package to put myself to the coffin for the rest of 2015 :))

Well, you're paying for GOG at least setting the game into DOSBox and testing it on a variety of machines, going a little beyond (and sometimes a lot beyond) what other distributors do.

Now I don't understand how GOG justifies Toonstruck being $10 - I may ask about that - but $6 feels right to me. (Doom is still sold for $5 on Steam anyway.)

how sad - OUTLAWS without soundtrack - ennio morricone look alike soundtrack was half of why the game was good - the other half was because the game WAS good - superb....

Outlaws... now that brings back memories I never thought I'd get a change to dig up again. Thanks GOG.

Now how about Jedi Knight II and Jedi Academy?

It's probably amongst the game files. Not that it wouldn't be nice to have the official disk as bonus content, but better than nothing.

You do know that we don't set the prices, right? I believe this has been publicly stated before :)

I guess he is referring to lossy audio?

On the German Steam store, Doom and Doom II are 10€ each, for some reason.

And personally, I think that Toonstruck is totally worth that price.

That's because Bethesda hasn't bothered updating the prices. Funny thing is that the Doom Classic Complete package is priced correctly ($/€ 15).

Yes, that is exactly it. The fact that the audio file has a modified date of 2005 makes it obvious it was just slapped together from some old download someone had lying around.

And yes I wrote support, got some boilerplate reply about rights issues, which is ridiculous.
