500 games on GOG.com ready to download and play.

[url=http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/fe73e414/" target="_blank]Enter the GOG.com 500 Games Giveaway here![/url]

Leisure Suit Larry--a great example of the classics that got us here, or you can pre-order Omerta: City of Gangsters--a promising Mafia crime sim that's showcases the quality & variety of the kinds of games that GOG.com will continue to release (new and old!) in the future.

We owe all of this to you--our gaming audience--and we're extremely grateful. This is as much your achievement as it is ours and that's why we're giving away 500 games to thank you. To enter the giveaway, simply tell us, [url=http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/fe73e414/" target="_blank]after clicking the link[/url], what's the next big step for GOG.com. Should we land on Mars? Create a small DRM-free country on some lonely Pacific island? Create an evil A.I. that will threaten mankind with endless tests? Just type a few words for a chance to win one of 500 games. You can get some extra entries by sharing, tweeting, and following us on social media. You're not joining any mailing lists or signing up for anything. We just need your e-mail to send the game. The giveaway ends next Thursday at 10:59 AM GMT. Join it here: [url=http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/fe73e414/" target="_blank]GOG.com 500 Giveaway[/url]

Thanks again, and see you at a thousand games!

Robin_Seina: 2.) To finally get up achievement system running, because if GOG lacks something against steam, it is this.

Mrstarker: What is good about achievements? They only serve to artificially lengthen the game so people can get a virtual badge that nobody else cares about.
They're fun to try to get. The fact you don't care about them doesn't mean nobody else does.

The only thing i want on GoG is the foreign language option for all the games wich had the option when they were released.

Really? Tell me one player other than yourself whose achievements you care about.

Why should he? If he likes to collect achievements only to himself, it means achievements are good enough for him.

I don't care about anybody, but that doesn't mean achievements are pointless if they give me some satisfaction or anything.

Nobody else read the rules? Not even GOG crew :P

Eligibility: Open to legal residents of who are or older.

[...]
Online Entry: Enter the Sweepstakes during the Promotion Period online by signing into the entry form and perform the tasks provided. The entry form can be found on the following website at .
But I am not a legal resident of "who are" or "older". UN doesn't recognize these countries, so I can legally(?) declare war on them! Ha, I shall blunder my free chances or winning from their ruined cities.

Edit: Congratulations for 500 games.

The page loads, but a box in the middle of it is stuck forever at "Loading...". A Google search shows that this is pretty common for Rafflecopter, so I'm not sure why GOG is using them.

I guess I'll try again when I get home from work in like 10-11 hours :(

zoranivan: You don't need Facebook nor Twitter for all 8 entries. Just type a radnom Facebook username that you know exists, paste any random tweet URL (I used this: https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/266031293945503744) and any random Twitter username (you can use BarackObama).
Wouldn't be that cheating? I don't have Facebook and Twitter, but I prefer to play legit answering only the question than doing that. I don't think it would be a good idea link my e-mail to anybody's Facebook/Twitter account...

That's exactly my point. You might as well play a game one hand behind your back and it might give you an immense satisfaction to pull that off, but it doesn't mean that these kind of things should be a wide-spread practice or that it should be encouraged with a virtual pat on the back.

Done. But I don't expect anything with my poor luck. :)

Because? I like the encouragement, because without it, I wouldn't think of them, like for example Dwarf carrying in Half Life 2.

I will turn this around - if you don't like to play with your arms tied behind your back... Don't do it? IF you don't like "achievement unlocked" messages in Steam, you may turn of social functionality in this game easily.

Including the free games I own 42 of these amazing Good Old Games.

Which is 41 more than I joined the site to purchase.

...And about 38 more than I have actually played.

But it still clutters up my interface. I can't turn that off. One thing I like about GOG is the uncluttered interface. I'd be fine if it didn't affect me in any way.


Edit: And you can't disable Steam achievements, can you? Maybe I'm just stupid, but I couldn't find such an option.

Seriously? Your DRM free country should be on Mars, not a Pacific island! Usually you guys are better at putting two and two together . . . :)
