Waking Mars for only $1.99 + Tex Murphy Series, Simon the Sorcerer, and many more 70% off!

Waking Mars, an exploration-focused platformer in which you discover and tend to a robust ecosystem in Martian underground caves, celebrates its second anniversary. To cellebrate it, the game (which comes with the addition of full soundtrack) is available 80% off. That's only $1.99 for the entire week. It’s creators, a small indie team working under the label Tiger Style, were kind enough to answer a few of our questions about inspirations, game design, and the transition from AAA development into core indie scene. You can read the interview in GOG.com Blog.

Now, let's move on to our [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/classic_adventures_weekend_promo_280214]Classic Adventure Cruise Weekend Promo with landmark adventure games available whole 70% off. You can stay in the Martian landscape for a little bit longer with Tex Murphy, the fedora-and-trenchcoat PI of the grim future. All of the classic adventure games with that fan-favorite character are available for $2.99 each, except for the first two bundled together for just $1.79. Or, if you prefer fantasy and comedy to Sci-Fi gloom and doom, you can't go wrong with Simon the Sorcerer, Simon the Sorcerer 2, and Simon the Sorcerer 3D This cherished series of adventure classics is known for its tongue-in-cheek humor, devious puzzles, and countless allusions to popular fantasy books, games, and movies. While the first two games use hand-crafted pixel-art graphics and a traditional point-and-click interface with clickable on-screen commands, the third one takes Simon’s misadventures into a 3D environment while retaining all (well, ok: most) of its predecessors’ charm. Put yourself in the pointy shoes of a young apprentice of wizardry for 70% off, this weekend only on GOG.com

That's just a small sample of the adventure lineup in Classic Adventure Cruise Weekend Promo, so make sure you visit the promo page and see what other gems can you get 70% off. The offer lasts until Tuesday, March 4, at 4:59AM GMT. The Waking Mars anniversary special lasts until Friday, March 7, at 10:59AM GMT.

Welp, it's been fun :D
Wolfenstein comfirmed!

Hah hah. Well, I already own a copy of Waking Mars, but have yet to get around to giving it a try -- looks quite interesting and unique.

Maybe I'll grab one or two of the Adventure games, but I already own many of those, as well ( as physical copies ).
Nice, you own all games from this promo.

SirPrimalform: Nope, not buying anything until you sort the current "situation" out.
They already have dropped regional pricing. It says 39,99$ for me in the gamecard.
But it can be because I apparently moved to Qatar...

That was where I learned the phrase :P
Broken Sword 4 looks so juicy. Unfortunately I have to say no to GOG and vote with my wallet :(

Well it says $49.99 for me. And actually, I'm more distressed by the promise to regionally price the whole catalogue by the end of the year and then the lack of response to the obvious objections. Anyway, I shouldn't have brought this to this thread, I was just tempted by a couple of games in the sale and wanted to let GOG know why I was skipping them.

We have stated this a few times:

We plan to bring in fair local pricing in local currencies such as the ones listed in the letter so that people who do not use the dollar and get hit by currency exchange fees can pay in their own currencies and not get hit by exchange fees or any other fees associated with paying in USD while not being in the US. Please do see our responses in the "letter from the M.D." thread by clicking on staff icon that brings up only staff posts.

Sorry for the thread derail, everyone.

Hi,

are you maybe considering to let the customer choose in which of the currencies you make available he wants to make the purchase? That would be fair.
Hmmm... I always wanted to get a backup of my phsyical Broken Sword copies... also that would be much more comfortable... but I am some what undecided at the moment because of all this pricing mess here... I think I'll just wait 'till Sunday, read what is going on here and then decide.

Btw: Twinsen games are really worth to get!

Great promo, unfortunately not my cup of tea...

in before the now-compulsory "i'm not gonna buy anything because of your greedy ass policy!... unless somebody gift it to me (for free)", oh wait, it already happened.

Denmark doesn't use Euro or Pounds or Dollars so we get hit with conversion fees anyway.
However, your conversion rates are off, so there's really nothing fair about them. You can dress it up all you want, but you're still screwing your customers.
I was going to grab a few games from this sale, but I flat out refuse due to this fiasco. Granted losing me as a customer is not a huge deal, as I've only bought ~55 games here, but hopefully I'm not the only one walking away from gog in disgust until you come to your senses.
Excellent weekend promo! So many great adventure games at a nice discount!
Great offerings! Already have the Twinsen and Broken Swords titles, and the Syberias. Waking Mars and the first Atlantis too. Sounds like I need the rest of the Atlantis games, and that I should finally pick up the Still Life series. And I know just who to ask about those...

Novotnus: snip
Hey kitty, are the Still Life/Post Mortem titles worthwhile?
Can anyone exchange Serious Sam FE and Prince of Persia SoT from the last promo with something in this one?

About the discounted games, what do you think about these?
- broken sword 2,3,4 --> I loved the first (except for few ugly animations and a pair or bad puzzles); are these worth buying?
- lba 2 --> the first for me was average, clunky and difficult.. is this better?
- Atlantis 1,2,3 -> are all these really bad? They seem to share bad plot and puzzles.
- Syberia 1,2 -> average reviews, maybe both open ended.
