Up to 70% off Gothic, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Leisure Suit Larry, Carmageddon, The Chronicles of Riddick and more…

How was your summer vacation? Did you take a vacation? Our summer wasn't very vacationy, but it sure was cool. We had an amazing Summer Sale, we unleashed batches of fun upon you including Bethesda, The Forgotten Realms, Telltale, and Warhammer. We rolled out our Windows 10 support, and many of us are still playing through the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Yeah, it's a big game.
But now, summer vacation is winding down, and while many of you are waiting for the first school-bells to ring, or unable to tell the difference - we're going <span class="bold"></span>Back to Old-School for a weekend of deals up to 70% off!

What's more summery than a long day at a theme park? The beach, maybe. But other than the beach, few things are more summery than a long day at a theme park. Rollercoaster Tycoon is the best way to design your very own summer adventure with wild rides and waterparks, your own wonderland (just don't forget to make money!) of joy. Simply put, even after all these years the Rollercoaster Tycoon games remain some of the best Tycoon series ever released, and by far the most beloved.

Already missing your summer romance? Ditch the shorts and swim trunks, a leisure suit is the only way to dress for new conquests. Leisure Suit Larry's greatest hits and misses are a hilarious series of misadventures featuring the most loving guy in town.

Then, there is the original Gothic trilogy. There's an eternal argument as to which one is the best (the fellow typing this can't get enough of Gothic 3), but great open worlds and relatively few rules make these games some of the most quintessential old-school RPGs. Go anywhere anytime you want, and do your best not to accidentally kill a quest giver. With just a few mods and community fixes, this trio can stand proudly among the best role-playing games ever made.


This weekend, <span class="bold"></span>we're going Back to Old-School with 30+ classic games including the Gothic series, Carmageddon, Chronicles of Riddick, and more by Atari and Codemasters - all up to 70% off. The promo will last until Tuesday, September 1, 3:59 AM GMT.
How does the original Gothic game compare to the rest in the series? Is it any good?

IronArcturus: How does the original Gothic game compare to the rest in the series? Is it any good?
They're all fairly similar I think.
They're mostly pretty decent RPGs with not-so-great controls that you'll have to adjust to.
I could be wrong of course, it's been many a year since I last played a Gothic game.

So I assume it's mostly a kb+mouse game and not a controller game?

You could use some mapping-to-controller software probably, but natively it's very much a kb+m game yes.
Huh, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is now multilanguage. At one point I recall it being only English whereas the Steam version was multi. Good stuff.
I've been looking to buy RCT 2, so awesome! Thanks again GOG!

Grargar: As usual, BUY BLOOD!

Gnostic: You can't really entice people to buy that without giving information about what's good about the game.
He wasn't talking about a game...he meant actual blood. He sells it out of a refrigerated van. He's just trying to drum up business. : P

Crosmando: I just can't bring myself to buy Independence War 2 UNTIL it actually says it's compatible with Win7. I know it probably works on Win7, but still do something about this gog!
I know where you're comin' from: the original Gothic isn't supported on any version of Windows newer than Vista. =(
Wait, so Gothic doesn't play on Windows 7? Almost bought it just now, good thing I didn't.

It runs on mine. Just don't ask GOG support in case it doesn't.

Yes, he can. :P
Still no Severance: Blade of Darkness.
And when did you got the IGI2 and why only sequel? This is a bit strange to put sequel first (nomen omen).

GOG.com: Up to 70% off
Is Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods that bad that it does not count? :P

Nice promo though. :)
Finally bought I.G.I. 2.
Loved Project I.G.I. back in its day...the sequel can't be that bad, as some say.

Random_Coffee: Added Alone in the Dark-trilogy and Independence War 2 to cart. IW2 seems to be the fan favorite, but is the first one worth it as well? And can I use a Xbone-controller in these games?
I don't think you can use a gamepad with Alone in the Dark unless you somehow remap keyboard controls to a joystick. Alone in the Dark became a hit when it was released. It is a great adventure game that is in some aspects similar to Resident Evil, but made by a French company. There is relatively less fighting and more manipulation with objects to defeat monsters. The graphics was great in 1993 but is quite dated today. The music is excellent. So if you are into pre-1995 gaming, this is a must have.

SpecShadow: Still no Severance: Blade of Darkness.
Blade of Darkness was here for a while, but then it was removed. No idea who currently holds the rights for it.

IGI 2 was one of the first games that GOG offered. IGI 1 belongs to a different publisher.
