The root of all evil



<span class="bold">The Original Strife: Veteran Edition</span>, the remastered FPS/RPG where you strive to rid the world of a spreading evil, is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and multiplayer, and a 50% launch discount.

Eager to unroot an evil presence, overthrow a monarchy of religious fanatics, and blast away those who stand in your way? You'll get the chance to do all this and more, as you side with The Front, a resistance movement fighting the dark cultists of The Order. Your trusty weapons will go a long way towards ending this conflict, as will the assistance of the talented Blackbird, an underground agent whose skills at obtaining information are only rivalled by her dangerous allure. This Veteran Edition sports significant visual improvements, restored features, and all the bombastic charm of a game that set the standards for all FPS/RPG hybrids to follow in its wake.



Conspire with you resistance allies to undermine the sinister Order in <span class="bold">The Original Strife: Veteran Edition</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 50% launch discount will last until May 24, 1:59 PM UTC.

Cyanosis: Makes me wonder if why it's taking a while to get this series on here is because GOG is busy working their magic to ensure it ALL gets on here at the same time.
That might be the first time GOG has ever released a game with more content than its competitors.

Now we just need the rest of the Night Dive/Retroism old games (Classic War Pack etc) on Steam.

Powerslave is already getting a remaster/port and I believe it'll be free:

JudasIscariot: the original version is included.
I just wanted to add my voice saying 'awesome!" in the hopes of more of this sort of thing in the future.

It was completed and released for free for some time, but the original devs didn't like that and the creator pulled it off. You might just as well google search for it somewhere.. like I did. Shame this had to happen, the port is awesome.

Nope. Quake 2 on GOG comes preloaded with the Netpack 1: Extremities compilation, while Morrowind comes preloaded with its plugins. Sure, they are free, but they are still not included by default with the Steam versions.

So that's what all those options were. O_o

Cyanosis: though Blackbird adds absolutely nothing to the experience except irritation.
LIES!! :-(

clarry: That seems to have been the case. AIUI, the developers originally did a no-Galaxy build but GOG wanted Galaxy integration and someone with the power to make decisions wanted to comply.

IAmSinistar: Thanks for the inside info! It makes sense from the viewpoint of GOG, but is unfortunate for those of us who care not a whit for Galaxy gubbins and who just want our games in a timely fashion. And I'm not so sure it makes a lot sense for GOG, if it ends up costing more sales than the platform drives.
I know what you mean, but I still had a chuckle at the idea of GOG users being particular about "timely" releases. ^_^

tinyE: Is the stealth stuff a super pain in the ass? :P Some games like Thief can be fun with stealth but then others like the Hitman games can be fantastically cruel.
It's not "hide behind pillars or in darkness" stealth; it's "I'm in disguise or have done nothing suspicious so I can wander freely and even talk to people until I do" stealth. There are also alarmed areas and robots that are unavoidable and never fooled, so you'll be forced back to the zappy bangy parts quickly enough.

So, not a pain at all, but only available in limited areas. It's more a nice gameplay addition, like the dialogue options and multiple endings, rather than a fully fleshed out mechanic.
