Today we have a surprise for all retro gaming fans! Check out these classic tactical titles that will engage for weeks and put your strategic thinking to the test:

Sabre Team (-33%) is an isometric squad-level turn-based simulation that lets you take command of a Sabre Team unit that confronts delicate and dangerous scenarios.

Shadoworlds (-33%) is a gripping isometric squad-based sci-fi RPG that follows a team of explorers as they trek through the dark environments of a weapon research facility.

Both Sabre Team and Shadoworlds are now available on GOG.COM along with a 33% discount that will last until 11th June 2021, 1 PM UTC.

Excellent, Sabre Team. :) My physical copy had audio issues with DOSBox that were a PITA to get working properly, it'll be nice to have a ready-to-go version.
I hope we'll also see Deadline, which was similar to Sabre Team but had additional management elements as well.

Awesome!

I remember the disappointment when so many Ziggurat's were not coming here. Really glad that it has changed.

high rated
Oh, very nice releases! But just one question: if this is running inside DosBOX, than why these games don't have a Mac and Linux verison here?

And this is not the first time.
There are a bunch of other DosBOX titles here, that have only Windows versions ... Why?

There was also Wages of War: The Business of Battle which would be nice to get.

Licensing most likely. GOG can't make something just because they're capable of. The good side is that usually there are no issues when you switch dosbox yourself, to Linux version for example, and fix conf files to run those games on non-Windows systems.

Good games.
One known mostly for its innovating "real time lighting" and the other for being a very good tactical strategy game.
I never got to spend much time on SW, but I spent a lot of time on Sabre Team. Worth it.

Shadoworlds is an extraordinary role-playing video game for MS-Dos, highly recommended. I wonder why it's only in English when the original European release on floppy and cd-rom came multi-language with texts in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Still, great rerelease on GOG!
Thanks, GOG!

Awesome! I would be very happy to see Shadowlands on GOG.

These two games i missed when i had my Atari ST but think i will pick these up now.
