50-75% off Ultimate General: Gettysburg, Panzer General, Pacific General, Fantasy General… and Rollercoaster Tycoon

Generally speaking, it's good to be General. The pay might not be great (in this case you'll actually kind of have to pay to do it) but the perks, the perks are many. You get a cool hat, and you get to determine the outcome of mankind's greatest wars. How's that for a strong resume? Our weekly staff picks this week is , and all-around awesome - with five fantastic strategy titles... and [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/rollercoaster_promo_280915]Roller Coaster Tycoon up to 75% off.

Panzer General 2 & 3D are classics. No doubt about that. They sit among the greatest and most memorable strategy titles of all time. It's the grand stage and turn-based, hex-based combat that combine into the true treason for the series' success, the perfect strike: depth and accessibility.
Pacific General is a grand strategy as well, a spiritual sequel to the classic Panzer General series. In it, you'll return to the overhead battlefields of World War II in full-blown historical missions, and what-if scenarios. And if you're a fan of large-scale-hex-based battlefields - that same kind of game and feel also found a surprisingly comfy place in the unique steampunk-infused fantasy setting of Fantasy General.
For a different kind of historical aura, Ultimate General: Gettysburg is a beautiful looking, tactically detailed and deceptively simple title. If you're even remotely interested in war and world history, it's hard not to recommend this authentic strategy.
Finally, when you tire of waging war and its many pressures, take a break with Rollercoaster Tycoon - design your own FUNderland, pick your business strategy, and relax to the beautiful sound of children's laughter, and their desperate corkscrew screams.

Generally... it's five strategy titles ( and Roller Coaster Tycoon) at 50-75% off! The weekly staff picks promo will last until Thursday, October 1, 9:59 AM GMT.

Pacific General is now mine... happy Monday!!
Once again I already have everything I want from this promo.
Time to grab Fantasy General. :D
Damn..I wanted to restrain myself a bit this week but Pacific General for that price will surely land on my shelf alongside other classic Genereral games :-P
The question isn't whether you have enough money to buy these games but whether you have enough time to play them.. ;-)

Does Pacific General work okay on Win 7 64 bit? A few people on the forums seem to have trouble with crashing is why I ask before I buy.

Edit: Same question for Panzer General 2 by the way.

GOG.com: ... that combine into the true treason for the series' success...
that a cunning play on words or a simple typo?
Anyone actually bought and played Ultimate General: Gettysburg ?. Reviews mostly seem to be positive and AI supposed to be good but there is one bad review....

...that negative review is what kept me from instabuying. :/
Yeah, it looks great, but it got absolutely trashed by a few people with the mechanics. AI acting stupid, not firing, unable to check morale, unable to pick formations, troops facing the wrong way, like the complete opposite of what it's saying in the summary...

I just recommended it a few posts back. I have it. Love it. It's Sid Meier's Gettysburg on steroids. Good AI, beautiful map, easy to use interface. All around great strategy game.
