Finally, another shiny new year is upon us! Time to get all dressed-up and edit our wishlists to adjust for Santa's recent coming. It's as good a time as any to trim it down juuuust a little bit more by crossing out any of the 35+ Interplay titles going for 60% off inside our Happy New Year with Interplay!


If you want to make room for some new games in there, start by performing a painless Sacrifice and try this RTS/action hybrid that took gamers by surprise with its addictive mechanics and jaw-dropping visuals which put it way ahead of the curve.

Your first good deed of the year could also be cleaning up the troubled nation of Apulco and delivering some old-school turn-based justice with your Jagged Alliance. If fighting ruthless dictators isn't your thing, beam yourself up to the stars for some point'n'click adventuring with Star Trek™: Judgement Rites and Star Trek™: 25th Anniversary or for some intense space combat with Freespace 2 and Descent: Freespace. Alternatively, you might enjoy a slice of alternate history in the fantasy RPG Lionheart, some over-the-top action-platforming featuring a multi-limbed dog in MDK 2 or some old-school "face, meet shotgun" action as Kingpin.


This extensive and wonderfully diverse collection of 35+ Interplay gems going for 60% off in our Happy New Year with Interplay is the perfect way to kick off the new year with a bang! The promo will last until Sunday, January 3rd 10:59 PM GMT.

Ixamyakxim: So I was messing around with this a little bit and at least on my setup, like you I also had to use Software Mode. HOWEVER I set software by running the config file and made sure to use software.

THEN I did an edit of the sfc.ini (I left windowed mode set to 0) and under

[3D]

lowres=5

gets me a higher resolution than 800X600. From the main screens it looks like the game might be forced into a bracket window, but once in game / battle it actually fills the whole screen. You might want to give it a shot.

As an aside, I don't know if it matters (I'm guessing not since I'm in software mode?) but under my GPU settings I have mine set up to preserve aspect ratio.

Keep in mind I didn't play the game, I just fired up a skirmish to see how it looked and ensure that it was running but if you want to try and squeeze out something a bit prettier than 800X600 give it a shot!
Yeah, I was able to get a high resolution window in Starfleet Command, but I still wish there was some other way to get hardware mode to work. Software mode tends to run really slow on Windows 7.
Happy New Year ^_^
This promo also let me realize Descent 1-3 are no longer available here. When did that happen? Is it like the recent Duke removal where there are licensing issues and they'll work to bring them back?

They're on sale at Steam right now but they're expensive and not near the price they were during the Summer Sale. I wonder if they're going to get removed there as well?

Thank you for the links. Doesn't sound promising about coming back. At least not any time soon. Well, maybe I should eat the extra $8-10 and just buy them at Steam before the sale ends as it sounds like they'll be pulled down there at any time.
Shouldn't this still be running for a couple of hours? I can't see any deals anymore....
