mrkgnao: Perhaps it's the new GOG

vicklemos: HERETIC!:P
Well. I never made it a secret that I am looking for an alternative ever since GOG introduced regional banning.

I dunno if you'll find just one site to cover you there, but maybe between ShinyLoot, DotEmu, Zoom, FireFlower games, and presumably a few other DRM-free stores, you might be good for a while. :)

That said I hope Death Rally will show up here as freeware. It's got a healthy 700+ votes. http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/death_rally

Wow, they even have the first A.I.M. game, even Steam doesn't have that.

GG does though
(for people who already have GG accounts and like to keep the places they have stuff down, although I know GG have pissed people off by DRMing stuff by turning them into Steam keys...)

*edit* speaking on 1C though - I always wonder what ever happened to the first Parkan and Konung games - no English translation? Just too poor quality to bother with?

Wow! When did this become a thing?

The website is atrocious, though. I couldn't imagine anything worse.

Well, nice find. I do however have to say "Uuurrgh" to the site, all it needs is Willy jumping around and it would be JSW!
Nice to see there are alternatives appearing. Shinyloot is pretty much a Steam key retailer, and the forums are empty. DotEmu hasn't really had anything new for ages.

Holy crap. They just re-released Killing Time. Well, they did 2 months ago at least. I've known about this site since early this year, but I only just learned of this release an hour ago, from a NeoGAF poster in an unrelated thread.

What is more bizarre is that they apparently have an exclusivity deal with the rights holders of that game - and I can only assume that Requiem: Avenging Angel is on it's way there too.

I'm legitimately on the fence right now about creating an account and buying their re-release of Killing Time, since I've been trying to get that game to work for a while. Their total lack of reputation and hideous web-page design is looking iffy to me...

Sorry for digging out old thread,but I didn't want to create new one.

I was interested in presence of old Duke Nukem titles on Zoom (DN1, DN2, DN3D and DN: Manhattan Project). And I've decided to e-mail to 3D Realms (told me that I should contact with Gearbox).

So I've sent an e-mail to Gearbox, but didn't receive any clear answer - only "thank you for attention, our team will check it and make further steps, if necessary. Since it was a couple of months ago (in summer, if I remember correctly), and DN games is still on Zoom, I'm guessing that it's legit that those games are there.

Last thing - I've learned from Zoom tech support that they're planning to make "refreshing" in 2019, there will be some big update of their website, as well as new releases and some discounts (at this moment there are no promos on their store). I've also asked, if with this "refreshing" their website, there will be some games removed from catalogue (mentioning Duke Nukem games), but they confirmed, that DN games are staying in their offer.

Therefore, as much as I can tell basing on e-mails I've sent, presence of old DN games in their offer is legit. Which is cool for all those who didn't bought (or added DN 3D in giveaway action) DN games in the past on GOG, before they were removed.

It's is however much appreciated that you go pointing it out to gearbox lawyers that it is still available...

I admit that I was a bit sceptical about mailing to Gearbox in this case, but since 3D Realms (who seems to be fine guys) adviced it to me, I gave it a go...

Plus, fortunately, it ended well.

Just a notice since it wasn't mentioned here: zoom-platform has Overlord 2. I think it's the only place where one can get that game DRM-free without making any online account.

You do need an account. If you try to checkout without one, it prompts you to login/create one.

Sorry. That's right. It was wrongly worded. You don't need any online activation to play the game. Of course, you need an account to buy it. But after downloading it's completely DRM-free. Unlike some other sources of the game where you have to register the game to some online platform to be able to play.

Oh, you meant DRM-Free availability. Well:

Oops. I somehow missed that release. When I got Overlord 2 on zoom-platform, it was still an exclusive there. And when I googled for Overlord 2 the gog release didn't show up either. Well, I stand corrected.
