Drakhyrr: Do I see the whole Blackwell series for $2 (maybe $1 on some day)?

I know they have been bundled before, but has it ever been so cheap to get all of them?

OmegaX: IIRC the first 3 games were part of an Indie Royale bundle and Deception was part of another IR. So that's at least $8 for the 4 games. Really, if you don't own the Blackwell games this is a great bundle.
Very true but if you do then it's a lot to pay to get Hamlet - I'll just wait for a sale. The Hacker games never had any appeal for me but for someone that loves these games, this is also a great deal.

You could get every Wadjet Eye game (except for Primordia) in the Groupees Wadjet Eye bundle for $5.. that was a better deal than Indie Royale and BiaB.

True, I forgot about that because I stopped paying attention to Groupees a while ago. Still, 4 Blackwell games for $2 and some others thrown in is a pretty good deal.

Momo1991: Meh, I just want Hamlet.
Me too. :D
Do they give out individual keys or one for the entire bundle? I want the Blackwell games, and would rather just gift off the rest of them.
Multiple Keys, though one for the BlackwellBundle (on Steam, desura it is two keys for the four games)

Oh, right, there was that, but the Blackwell games were in the $5 tier. This is as cheap as they have ever been. Very nice deal for those.

Well, I have the Blackwell games on GOG from "pick 5 pay 10" promo, so I bought them for 2$ too. :D
Wow, I own all of these apart from Hamlet and Secret of the Magic Crystals. Pity that Hamlet is Steam only. BiaB was always DRM-free up until now.
Why do people want Hamlet so much?

Because it's a fun adventure game ;-)

It was part of the Indie Royale: Winter Bundle. Funny, I didn't even remember I own the game.

Well I am a latecomer to the bundle scene ;-)

jamyskis: Is Pixelry any good?
No. The whole design is great (graphics, music), but the gameplay itself is pretty bland. It's a number of repetitive minigames that get boring very fast.

About the bundle: Great deal if you don't own the Blackwell games yet and if you like the Hacker games. Not so great if you already own almost everything from former deals and bundles (like myself). Only two games that I don't already have are Hamlet (which I won't buy, because it's steam-only) and Secret of the Magic Crystals.
Oy, I'd always supported these guys by default, because their bundles were always fully DRM-free, and usually had some really interesting, niche games (loved the text adventures).
Kinda bummed to see the first Steam-exclusive (if I'm not mistaken), and uh, Secret of the Magic Crystals might be too niche even for me. Plus repeat abundance, I'm sadly going to have to pass. Is Hamlet at least DRM-free through Steam?
