Dude, we get it. You hate Zoom and want to "snitch" on them if it is at all even possible at any opportunity. What are you getting out of this, exactly? In any case, since you obviously use GOG, and you obviously do not use Zoom, perhaps your efforts are better served calling out the "DRM-free" on several GOG gamepages here given that despite the description there is content locked behind online connection and client requirements.

Also, very cool to see Hatred and new titles are on Zoom-Platform. I know people have discussed a lot of releases in the pipeline but it's been kind of quiet. Let's keep them coming out!

I don't hate anyone, I merely stated that if what was stated is true it could lead to issues for Zoom, thankfully Linko64 has come in to clarify that it does indeed contain two games so people can now purchase this pack with confidence they are indeed getting two games.

Cool, glad it's resolved, I'm happy to see Linko's clarification too. I still can't help but wonder if you are worried about GOG gamepages that advertise DRM-free yet content is locked behind various requirements causing issues for GOG, but I guess that's a separate topic.

Linko64: The package contains Off-Road (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1S2BwarOe0&ab_channel=SlasherPL) and Redneck Racing the store text is a little confusing but is being altered to be more clear.
It has been many years since I last played the game, but my recollection says it is just one game called Off-Road Redneck Racing.

You seem to be implying that it is two games, and that single video doesn't make it any clearer. Sure the video starts off with buggy racing on dirt tracks, but then we go to ute racing on dirt tracks. Isn't it just the same game with different vehicles and different tracks?

There's a review at MyAbandonware.

EDIT
Okay I see they are now saying it is Off-Road Racing and Off-Road Redneck Racing.

Thanks for clarifying.

They are basically the same game, just some added commentary on the US/Redneck release vs just normal Offroad for the rest of the world.

Ah, I did wonder about that.
So not really two games, just one game with two modes, and in 'Redneck Racing' mode, we get the redneck rampage commentary, and maybe some visuals.

Maybe that should be clarified so people don't think it is two entirely different games.
Looks like they are having a small holiday sale.


Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition (with all Expansion Packs) is 17% off at $4.99 USD

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is 17% off at $4.99 USD

POSTAL 2: Your Mom's Box Set is 33% off at $9.99 USD

I took advantage of that one, plus grabbed 'Off-Road Racing + Off-Road Redneck Racing' as well.

I can now report two separate executables for 'Off-Road Racing + Off-Road Redneck Racing'.

Off-Road-English-Setup-1.0.exe (276 Mb)
Off-Road-Redneck-Racing-English-Setup-1.0.exe (329 Mb)

Don't think I was ever aware of REKKR: Sunken Land, which is a serious Doom clone, and a similar file size maybe, and comes with almost 1 Gb of WAV soundtrack, and you get x64 and x86 versions in this deluxe edition.

It's a DOOM Clone because it's a total conversation of DOOM via GZ_Doom Engine ;)

Sunken Land is the follow up to the old WAD version from awhile back

Thanks for the info, though now I feel like I probably paid too much ... anyway, it was a close call for both games price wise, for what they are.

I'd no doubt buy many more games from the ZOOM Platform if prices were better ... it's my one major issue with them ... remembering I am paying in AUD.

I'm not even sure what I can reply without breaking the CoC so I'll nod and hope you understand

Linko64: .... so I'll nod and hope you understand
Perhaps I do.

It's not just that the prices are a bit steep for an old game, where in many cases I have it on disc, so I am essentially re-buying for better modern Windows support, it's that many of them seem way over-priced anyway.

I am of course, willing to pay a bit extra for an old game I want but never had. Such was kind of the case with REKKR: Sunken Land, and I could not find my copy of Off-Road Redneck Racing, which was notoriously hard to get here back in the day, so I may have only had a copy (CD rip) ... or perhaps rented it to check out, because a rip is nowhere in evidence, and I generally keep good records etc. There was a good place that rented out games way back then, many of which you could simply not buy in AUS at that time. I certainly remember playing the game for a bit ... on a not very good PC.
Zoom Platform now has the U.S. version of Normality.
A number of games have gone up in price at ZOOM Platform, including some Duke ones, that have increased their base price by $1 USD.

I note they now specifically list the DLCs included in the Duke Atomic Edition. EDIT - Which is a good thing, and I am not saying it has anything to do with the change in price, though the DLCs make it look more attractive for the price.

They mentioned in the Discord recently that they were having to increase the price of some games by a small amount (generally ~$1), because of increased costs. They also had a sale over the past couple of weeks on selected games (including the Duke ones), which may now have ended.
