EDIT: Giveaway is over winners got their keys :)

Hi everyone :) Love you guys, I do spend way to much time here in the forums and now I thought it's time for my first real own giveaway :D

What you can get: (gog codes for)

Ys I & II Chronicles+ (winner: hummer010)
Ys Origin (winner Cyraxpt)
Ys the Oath in Felghana (winner: hummer010)
Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim (2x) (winner1: hummer010. winner2: Skysect)


Giveaway context:
Please, I'd love to see a boost on a wishlist I'm eyeing regularly: Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse
I played the hell out of that one when I was a kid, and I'd love to see it on gog (and play through again) It's an old arpg a little like zelda (though I liked al-Qadim way better having played both) but it's probably just nostalgia speaking :) But then again, isn't nostalgia why we are on gog in the first place? [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qadim:_The_Genie%27s_Curse]Wikipedia info[/url]

So the rules:
-Give the al-Qadim wish a boost (if you want ;) )
-Tell me you're in and maybe post a game you are very fond of that's old and not on gog yet (post the wishlist link, too)
-Have a good standing in the forums (rep +50, not a scammer, Joindate before May 2015...)
-Post which game(s) you are in for (only enter for yourself if you already own one of the games don't list them as in for)
-Giveaway will last for 1 week, winner(s) will be chosen via random.org on the 15th of july - if the first draw isn't in for all of them there will be a second draw for what's left and so on till all games are gone :)

Hope, we'll have fun (and I hope I'm doing the GA right ;) looking forward to reading your posts ;D

EDIT: Update 1: I put in another copy of "Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim", since it's the most asked for, so that at least two people will win something :)

Bump for this great giveaway.

I'm not in as I already have all Ys games on GOG, but a big thanks for that giveaway nonetheless, mchack! The only thing I know about that Al-Qadim game is that it's based on a D&D campaign setting and that SSI had a hand in its creation (even if they weren't necessarily the developers). Since I don't like voting for a game that I have no intention of buying, I will instead s̶p̶a̶m̶ post the community wishlist for <span class="bold">Get Medieval</span> yet again.

A really nice giveaway. I guess I am in :)

Let see:
* I have voted for Al-Qadim. More oldies won't hurt.
* For my own wishlist, I want Command &amp; Conquer series to be here. And as an addition, for a new game I found Crashlands is interesting.

* I am in for : YS I & II Chronicles+

Thanks for giveaway McHack !

Edit: fixed the link and typos.

Hi,

First and most important, thanks for the giveaway.

The old games I'd really like to see here are Midwinter and Midwinter II:
http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/midwinter
http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/midwinter_ii

I'm in for any of the Ys games:
Ys I & II Chronicles+
Ys Origin
Ys the Oath in Felghana
Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim
Thanks for the giveaway mchack !!

Even if I don't know the game, I added my vote to your Al-Qadim wishlist, because that "good old game" looks really nice :)

That's a great idea... I have plenty of games I'd like to see here on GOG... mostly strategy/wargames, like Red Alert, Red Alert 2, Tiberian Sun, Dune 2, Dune 2000, or Age of Empires, and Age of Empires 2...

I'm not "in" for your lovely giveaway, or for any other game... thank you anyway, it's really generous ! but Ys series (japanese designed games in general)are not my favourite kind of games :) ... but If you want to help and boost one (or many) of my previous wishlists (I don't force anyone ;-p), it would be much appreciated, really. :)

Thanks again, I wish you a lot of participants, a lot of votes for your Al-Qadim wishlist, and a lot of +1 for your rep :)
Oh yes, getting Al-Quadim here would be awesome. Voted.
Also I would like to get the Discworld adventures here. I'm not alone with this wish, it seems, but still they disdain to show up here. :-(

And I would like to try the Ys series. It looks interesting. And since it is probably best to start at the beginning, I am in for either Ys I+II Chronicle Plus (first parts of the series, if I understand correctly) or for Ys Origin (the 'first' in the internal timeline').
I'm in, and I voted for al-Qadim. I'm also unfamiliar with the Ys series, although it seems to be very popular. If I get chosen, please send me the game you feel is the best or most representative of the series. Thanks!
Thanks to you all for participating, I'm busy upvoting and reading up on the games :D
since one nice wishlist entry by moonshineshadow somehow went to the wrong thread ;) I'll append it myself:

It did not went to the wrong thread, I just wanted to tell you about one of the games I am hoping for without entering your giveaway :P
But thanks for posting it here again :-)
I am in for Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim .

I want Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines on GOG but still it's not here :(

I am in, for Ark of Napishtim - that would round out my GOG Ys collection. Anyhow, an old game that I like...?

Aquaria (wishlist)

While it doesn't have the best gameplay, it has a very nice aesthetic in both the visual and auditory sense. The ending was disappointing due to circumstances, the rest of the game is quite enjoyable.

fixed that for you with a link ;)
Thank you mchack for your giveaway.
I'm in for "Ys I & II Chronicles+". I did vote for "Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse", it would be nice to have it on gog.
It would also be nice to "Prince of Persia 1" on gog.
I never finished it as a child, I always ran out of time before the final levels.......
