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.

IAmSinistar: Hey kitty, are the Still Life/Post Mortem titles worthwhile?
Post Mortem is nice but archaic. Thriller + some occult, + French by someone who probably never used French before :)
Still Life is simply good.
Still Life 2 is pretty bad, but if you want to see the mystery from SL1 solved, you have to play it too :)

I would say that's a good move :)

mrking58: Should I buy the last Tex Murphy game? :/ I did like Killing Moon but PD's story was a bit spacey for my liking
Yes you should. Overseer brings the series back 'down to earth' by retelling Tex's backstory on his first case, and will directly play into Tesla Effect due this year.
too often adventures.. i dont collect them.

money saved for next time :-)

Jinxtah: 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.

placa4: You aren't the only one. I'm going to enjoy the games that I have bought here and enjoy the community, but I'm not gonna buy anymore in this place until they get rid of regional pricing.
This is my stand, too. I have also stopped promoting GOG-sales.

JudasIscariot: Well, there's next week :)

We are definitely releasing games next week :)
Argl, next week is like next month...wait thats next month!!!!
I must wait till next month for a new release...sniff

And is it true...Wolfenstein??? Is it the original version or do we get the censored German one?
I want Wolfenstein now...and racing games, don't forget the racing games.
I was hoping to see a promotion on the Thief series of games, now that the new one is out, so I could grab Thief 2. Maybe next week?
On this promo I'm getting the Broken Sword series! I have them on disk but I like to have them on Gog so I don't need to go search for it wherever I've put them.

I was just speaking about Wolfenstein 3D in general and how much of an educational game it is/was :D In the US version, the manual listed all the phrases used by the soldiers in the game :)

i'm going to try the first broken sword game. i've wanted to try it for a while now.

i can recommend tex murphy pandora and killing moon. they both have a few moments that are laugh out loud funny. and tex's comments when you click on stuff are generally entertaining.

My thoughts exactly ^^

Maybe GOG should do some sort of mixed promos with games of different genres, so we wouldn't see adventure-games-only promo every 3rd weekend.
Well, happy Friday! Glad to get my Broken Sword collection for next to nothing. Thanks, GOG!

Adventure games were very popular in the "good ol' days" so it's understandable they have a sale now and then from their adventure game catalog. I do seem to notice quite a few RPG and strategy game promos now and then also. But to each their own. :)

No Broken Sword 5 promo ?
GOG, where are the rest of the Sierra adventure games, hmmmm? What does it take to get Activision to pay attention to you again - regional pricing? :P

http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/the_adventures_of_willy_beamish
http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/peppers_adventure_in_time

Etc.

Oh, and the Humongous Entertainment games are best-selling adventure-ish titles, hint hint.
