This beautiful May weekend we have on [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/atari_strategies]sale a collection of strategy games straight from Atari. Until Monday, May 9th at 11:59 p.m. EDT you get a chance to grab the pinnacle of space strategy games Master of Orion 1 + 2 and the revolutionary Total Annihilation from Atari's catalog with up to a 50% discount. Grab or complete the whole mix with Master of Magic, Master of Orion 3, and last (but not least!) Total Annihilation: Kingdoms + Expansion for half the price or get your hands on selected titles from the offer with a 30% discount.

Hmm Master of Orion 1 + 2 = 3? It's a trap!!

Bought Master of Magic.

Oh bugger. I just bought both TA games not long ago. However, I may pick up MOO 1 & 2.

Thanks gog for this excellent promo. I haven't played MoO 1 and 2 in years ^_^

I was only missing TA: Kingdoms so now whole pack is mine :)

The Total Annihilation CDs were downstairs. I did not want to go downstairs. My wallet was closer. The solution was obvious.

Picked up the 2nd TA, RTS heaven awaits...
Posted May 06, 2011
Bought the whole pack. I've always wanted to play Total Annihilation and somehow I did not have a chance to until now.
I like that the whole pack isn't too big. Sometimes there's like 10+ titles, so usually I do not take the whole pack.

Whoa, what's with all the MOO3 hate? o_o

I've just realized why I can never really get excited about strategy game promos. I do love strategy games, it's just that they usually have way too much replay value.

That might seem like a strange reason, but the thing is - I already have a lot of strategy games. Once you have a couple of good real time and a couple of good turn-based in some different settings, I feel like you're kind of set. You can just come back and play those.

That's why I love adventure game promos. They are often great games, but have limited replay value. So even though I already have lots of adventure games I can still get another one and feel like it adds to the collection in a different way than yet another strategy game does.

This comment should not be seen as a whiny "You should only do the kind of promos I like!"-kind of thing. I understand that not all promos will be to my liking - I'm just kind of curious if others feel the same way about strategy games.

Ah, strategy games. The genre that intrigues me most, yet also the one I have the most difficulty enjoying.

I'll probably not buy anything, though that's mostly because my wallet is in need of tenants.

I have so many games, that I can sympathize somewhat. I just want to get through my list, and addictive, replayable games make that hard. Yet, at the same time, I love replayable games.

Agreed - replayability is definitely a good thing. It just kind of ruins the lust that I normally have for getting more games :)

...Also if anyone from the GOG.com staff read this, could you stop making the emails purposefully misleading?

"Total Annihilation series, Master of Orion series and more Atari Strategies up to 50% off this weekend only‏"
makes it sound like they have various discounts as opposed to only being 50% off if you buy the whole pack and 30% off otherwise. The content of the email is just as disappointing with it's From $x.xx which then turns out only to be if you buy the lot.

I always take a look at the weekend deals anyway but if I were just looking based on these emails I'd get fed up of it and stop checking (like some online uk retailers weekly and rubbish sales.)

I might get Master of Magic and Total Annihilation Kingdoms since I don't have those. Not paying the extra 2-something to complete the pack for MoO3.
