The ultimate collection of amusement park business ups and downs!

[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/rollercoaster_gem_2013 ]RollerCoaster Tycoon 1+2+3[/url], a collection of three great amusement park management games that let you create the rides you always dreamed about, is available for only $8.97 (that's 75% off) in a bundle on GOG.com, for the next 24 hours. You can also get the games separately with 60% off discount.

[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/rollercoaster_gem_2013 ][/url]Where's entertainment for the masses, there's massive income for a skilled entrepreneur. An amusement park is an automated money maker for a businessman who understands what it's all about. Build an "EST" ride--one that's either the fastEST, highEST, longEST, scariEST, craziEST, or any other possible "EST"--and the people will come running to experience the "EST" moment in their lives. As long as you come up with original ways to rattle and shake people, there's plenty of loose change that'll surely drop out of their pockets. Make them scream with terror or yell with joy and they'll get sore throat and be happy to pay you five bucks for a medium soda. You'll need a rake to handle the cash. But here's a secret: this isn't about money. If you'll go into the business with only the cash in mind, you will fail. It's all about letting your inner child finally build the playground of their dreams. Do that. People will love it.

[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/rollercoaster_gem_2013 ]RollerCoaster Tycoon 1+2+3[/url] is a brilliant series of managerial games that let you design and run your very own amusement park complete with custom rides and various other attractions. The more money you make, the bigger your budget gets, and the more technically advanced and extravagant rides you get to build. The economic part of all of the games is consistently challenging and deep, while the theme park development options are getting more robust and varied with every game. Creating a perfect mix of serious business simulation with the sheer joy of riding the rides you design, this great collection will provide you with many hours of pure fun!

Get your roller coaster business on track with [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/rollercoaster_gem_2013 ]RollerCoaster Tycoon 1+2+3[/url] for a small investment of only $8.97. If you already own any of the featured games on GOG.com, you'll be able to complete the bundle retaining the 75% off discount rate. The offer lasts until Tuesday, July 9, at 9:59AM GMT.
Instabought, I've been waiting for this deal for ages :D

Ichwillnichtmehr: Only $100.000 for the Master of Orion franchise?!?

Maybe CD-project will step up to the bidding after the apparently very successful summer sale and rescue the franchise from some big publisher who will just bury it in their vault.

Licurg: I was thinking the same thing. MoO is a huge franchise, and just a remake of the second one, with modern graphics and nothing else would probably sell a couple million copies.
This would be a dream come true for me.

MoM and MoO 1+2 are the games that are always on my computer, and a "Reloaded" version of MoO 2 would be an instant buy from me.
All you are buying if you buy the MoO licence is a tradable name and the name and features of the alien races. People have been trying to replicate the goodness of MoO for years without having the official name: "spiritual successor" and all that. The reason most of them fall short has nothing to do with the name and exact features of the aliens. We also know that having the official name and aliens does not necessarily make a good game (hello, MoO3, "the boy in the attic").
Have never tried the third.

Worth it?
I'd buy this if I wasn't already charged twice from buying Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 when the summer sale was on... and I didn't even receive the game in the end. I know this wasn't GOG's fault and they kindly gave a free game, but now I don't have money for these :|
I just checked the demo for #3 and I'm thinking $7 may be worth the price of the 'coaster cam' alone. Anyone know if this works for custom built coasters?


Also any add-ons similar to the #1 scenario bundle used for #2?

Oh and also, no-one has mentioned yet:

from: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/04/06/gog-talks-preserving-value-of-games-slow-death-of-drm/

"Heavy discounts are bad for gamers ...
Our average sale tends to be around 40% – 50% off; that’s plenty of incentive to pick up a game if you’re interested or if you just think you might like to try it because you’re not sure about the game, but not some crazy 75% or 85% discount that damages the long-term value of a game." (emphasis mine).

The DVD version I had ages ago (got stolen :'( ) did allow you to ride your own custom Rides

jamyskis: Then again, they might be bought by Chris Sawyer, or Ubisoft, or EA, which would likely enable them to keep being sold here.
I bet 2 cents on Nordic and 1 cent on Kalypso.
Thanks everyone. You all are the bestest friends ever, convincing me to sped money I don't have; driving me into the poor house; forcing me to turn tricks for games, rob liquor stores, sell my children into slavery, GET A JOB! AHHHH!

I hate all of you!

Okay seriously thanks. :D

tinyE: Okay seriously thanks. :D
Don't forget to design roller coasters that will kill children :D

We did mention that article when it came out, a bit more than a year ago. I also think that deep discounts are bad, but GOG had to evolve to continue.
Shall we continue with what happened in 2012? I think there was a football match of some sorts at that time, wasn't there?

Nordic sounds like a likely bet, given their run of acquisitions of late.
