Zoidberg: I'm all fine for free games but darn, this one is unplayable... and I didn't even go further than the menus!

What's wrong with the mouse? It's terribly hard to go up with it...

argamasa: Oh, that's why he was eliminated from the sale. I had it written down for the purchase, but all of a sudden the discount disappeared. Thank you Microids and GOG. You're cool!
Had not notice that. Nicely played then :-)

Admittedly, it felt like a pity that there were not snowflake flash sales on Monday, but Tuesday has more than compensated that, IMHO.

This is a repost from Breja:

"Your Spring Sale marketing spam trojan horse you mean. Is that what all the giveaways are going to be now? Get a free game if you agree to get the spam we're pushing? Ok then. I'll pass on your games and your spam."

Why?

Because he is right.

Now vote this post down.

The All-In-One Installer Community Patch fixes issues with the mouse movement. Just a tip, not a excuse.

Like a lot of classic games, you have to rely on the community to make it work properly.

GOG.com: To claim it, all you have to do is click on the XIII banner visible on our main site.
Nitpick: This is incorrect....one ALSO has to be signed up to get the GOG newsletters.

Actually, I think it is correct. Clicking will both get you the game and sign you up.

Get the game, unsub from the newsletters....easy as pie.
(of course I can see why some might not like or want to do such)

It does? If so, that's somewhat shady on GOG's part.
(and i'm wondering: is that even legal?)

Thanks Gog for the giveaway! Should we follow the instructions in the first review are they still valid?
