BOOM went my chance to get a game from this promo I did really want. Just doing some other things in other tabs (checking mail, reading older pages of this topic, getting free Heroine's quest on steam, trying to fill out a survey on MySurvey.com), I check back in the more recent pages of this thread: I missed Shelter. Guess I'm not focussed enough on the Insomnia sale. The whole day I have been busy with other things: sleeping, eating, working, relaxing. Guess I have enough of a life to focus on games :-(. No offensive meant though, if any of you should read that into my post. Insomnia sales last too long for me to stay focussed on.

uh, what was before Shelter?

I think Alan Wake's American Nightmare will come up soon. It will be up all night. It's a nightmare for americans as it will lag so hard in sales, that by the time it's over, they need to sleep and europeans wake up. :)

Neverfree, can you now pray for Betrayal.. seems you have a direct line to the gamegods

We will each buy you one to get it to end. Get ready for a lot of trading.

Do you have a copy for yourself?
There is also a very nice remake of the second one for free.

Separately or mixed up together? ;-P

Syberia? Lol ;-) No, it's an altogether different beast, you will see.

It takes in a confined space of the Orient Express, where strange conspiracies take place.

What is unique is the fact that your character speaks several languages - I think English, French, and Russian, perhaps, and for those you see subtitles, but there are other nationals like Turks, Serbians, and them you hear in native language without translation. But the sentences make sense, I understood the Serbians a bit.

Other thing - there is a lot of paralel stuff going on, and the time never stops. While you eavesdrop on one event, you may miss another - difficult choices, and a constant pressure.

But the story, the characters, the nostalgia - it's soooo perfect.

One of the games I would give 10/10.

Let me just say you forgot the evil laughter. Just like this.

Painkiller Black Edition (sorry, I edited the list because I noticed it wasn't on there either...)

Me too! I'll be so mad if I miss it!! :O

Do they all 5 run in dosbox? Then I might grab them, although I'm not that much of an point-and-click fan.

Nope, Desperados will be the second of its pair, Demopcracy 3 will be the first of its pair.

I don't. My paypal balance is 0,48 cents or so.
