Once you've downloaded the game, you just start the installer and it installs everything, including DosBox, fully configured for the game. You only have to click on its icon.

I already own both I-Wars and I'm not interested in anything else from that promo - so I'll take a break this week.

got it. thanks all for your help -- this is one of the best-run forums i've seen

Own everything, duh.

Love package deals when it means 50-60% discount.
But to be consistent with past sales, this one really should be titled "Select Atari Games up to 50%" or "Atari Favorites up to 50%" or something to separate it from publisher pack sales.

"Atari games up to 50% off (....though most of them are 0% off)."

I already own the Blood games, I'm not interested in the War stuff, and Alone in the Dark... I have it on Dreamcast and PC. Hell, my PC copy is brand new, I bought it at a dollar store.

Sorry, guess I'll pass on this one. :)

It figures that Blood would go on sale the day after I buy it... I seem to be building a pretty good track record for that. It's like I'm developing a psychic subconscious. Subconscious: Blood is going to go on sale tomorrow. Conscious: I should buy Blood! I love that game! I wonder why I thought of it just now... Subconscious: Noooo tomorrow! Idiot! Conscious: Stabby stabby die zombies!

sorry guys, not a great deal. got alone in the dark. dont want blood, and indipendance war is not guaranteed to work with windows 7. YOU MUST DO BETTER

Great choice of games, but I already have it all but Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare. I passed on it during the holidays, I doubt I can be convinced to get it this time. In fact, I have every Atari game but Alone in the Dark, MoO 3, and TA: Kingdoms (Though I intend to get Kingdoms in the future, I have the original as retail and have never played The Iron Plague), so yeah...

Maybe the next week after the next week after the next! It's been a month since I bought a game on sale, but that's probably for the best!

I guess Alone in the Dark 5 or whatever it is might be worth $3. Hard to say no to that price, despite it's reputation.

Ooooh! So very tempting... Alas, the only games I'm interested in are I:War 1&2... Alas, I own two copies of he first and... At least one of the second... Something is pinging in the back of me brain to say I have more...

Mind you GoG giving a hefty difference in your offer is ohhh so tempting...


Finally: The Intro to I:War 1 is worth it in its own right. I remember it back in the day... A well produced 20 minute movie... Actually, if memory serves, thats all I saw till I upgraded me machine a few months later...

I think that's probably the main problem that most people have with these kind of promo's

I bought the entire Atari catalogue for 50% off back in 2010 when I wanted every game anyway but to get that 50% discount I had to add MOO3 in my collection...

...oh god the pain...

After a long time, a promo where I've got none of the games. Alas, I will pass. Blood and Independence War look intersting, but 25% discount is not enough to make me put more games in my very long "waiting to play" list.

Anyway, keep the promos coming!

I would be interested to know how you like the game. There is a huge number of rave reviews of Blood here, but I just don't get what people see in it. I actually played Blood back when it was first released and did have some fun with it. But when I look at it now, it just seems like a very primitive game that hasn't aged well at all (the same goes for Duke Nukem 3D imo). Is everyone suffering from a nostalgia-induced mass delusion, or am I crazy for not seeing why Blood is still a great game in 2011? Maybe I will have to buy it after all, just to see for myself...
