66% off Arcanum, Pharaoh + Cleopatra, Gabriel Knight, Vampire: The Masquerade, Space Quest and more....

Activision just turned 36. What a number that is. Starting in 1979, Activision changed the developer/publisher dynamic in gaming, and soon became one of the biggest forces in the biz. Today, they own some of the most classic IPs here on GOG.com. So happy (belated) birthday, Activision, we totally didn't forget - we're celebrating the occasion with the entire catalog at an all-time high 66% off!


Do you want to be a hero? Set off on your Quest for Glory, an adventure/RPG hybrid full of humor and well-designed gameplay. The quest for glory games will let you grow from just a graduate of the Famous Adventurer’s Correspondence School into a hero of unparalleled skill. And whether you're a fighter, a mage, or a thief - overcoming open-ended challenges has never been quite as fun since.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura is a legend. It's one of those games that were only possible in a very particular time of RPG experimentation on a massive scale. Troika's became famous for delivering exceptional vision and gameplay help back by bugs, but a massive community effort to bring titles like Arcanum to its intended glory mean that there's no better time to experience the legend that hasn't since been repeated.

Pharaoh + Cleopatra & Zeus + Poseidon are the definition of addictive. They strike the perfect balance between refined design and relatively simple gameplay that combine into a historical city-builder that you really, seriously, won't be able to put down.

There's more, of course, with Space Quest I+II+III, King's Quest IV+V+VI and over 30 Activision titles at 66% off. Happy Belated Birthday, Activision! The promo will last until Tuesday, October 6, 3:59 AM GMT.

Meh...

How about celebrating the birthday with more releases? Also, in a stunning and fiendish coincidence, today is the 3rd anniversary ever since the last Activision release here.

I second this.

I already have everything I want. In fact, I've had that for quite a long time. Maybe you should get on that.

How about completing the City Builder series with Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom (and maybe the other parts of Caesar)?

Have to agree with that. GOG signed some of the largest publishers, unfortunately after the 1st batch of releases we hardly see more if any.

Still congratulations. 36 is old in this business, many didn't make it.

Need wishlist links of the remaining Activision games as I only know of the more mainstream ones. *turns on the Barry Signal* :P

Lately we got some more Ubi classics, but generally your statement is true. I guess it's because GOG released games that were easy to release (no legal or tech problems).

The thing is, we still need a lot of Sierra games here.

We demand GOG to do something with it.

Oh, and of course - I already have all of those games, no money from me for Activision till they release more games here.

Is this indeed the highest discount these games had?

^This! Though the later Caesar games might be tricky to get running, but Rise of the Middle Kingdom uses the same engine as Zeus and the games before.

Nope, several of those games have been sold for 75% off already IIRC.

Indeed, they will be bringing out Call of Duty 36 this year and certainly not easy innovating with it every year. :P

What later? The only later Caesar game is IV, which was released in 2006, so I'm not sure how tricky it would be to make it run. As for the earlier titles, there were DOS versions of 1 and 2, so again, I don't see much problem here.

Interstate 76 keeps coming up to tempt me but the hoops it seems you must go through to get it running on W7 (or soon 10 I suppose) scare me away... :(...
