Prepare for a truly HOSTILE takeover
Welcome to the grim cyberpunk future of corporate wars and cybernetically enhanced soldiers. Both games from the cult classic Sci-Fi series-- and [url=http://www.gog.com/game/syndicate_wars]Syndicate Wars--are available for up to 70% off on GOG.com. That's as little as $3.58 for the hands-on experience of challenging tactical combat in a futuristic world without hope, regret, or morals, for the next 24 hours!

HEADS UP, EXECUTIVES!: This Friday, our version of Syndicate will be upgraded (free of additional charge, of course) with the sensational American Revolt mission pack!

The future, my friend, is corporate genocide. Fill the shoes of a "manager" for a global syndicate fearlessly pursuing ultimate profit. Your goal is to fight for territory and influence, using brainwashed supersoldiers--lethal puppets in the hands of a corporate mastermind like you--among the flood of civilian casualties. With each deftly executed mission--ranging from relatively simple extractions to multi-layered assassinations--bringing you closer to world domination and market monopoly, the means become easier to accept, collateral damage proving nothing more than a natural consequence of corporate friction. Gradually, with more cybernetic enhancements, overdrive-inducing drugs, and high-tech weaponry, your army of agents will become the foundation of new world order. Succeed, and you might just get promoted!

Syndicate series has been a stepping stone for the gaming industry: its morally challenging overtone imposed over a pessimistic, but extremely coherent vision of the world's future, set the stage for strategically demanding gameplay. The original , included in almost every "Best games in PC history" list, allowed you to become a ruthless enforcer in the world of miniguns and brain implants, treating your agents as chess pieces in a conscience-free game of life and death. [url=http://www.gog.com/game/syndicate_wars]Syndicate Wars was able to follow up with equally well-balanced difficulty level and immersive narrative, allowing you to fight for two distinctly different factions - the EuroCorp Syndicate or the Church of the New Epoch. If gruesome corporate warfare with real-time tactical combat is your thing you can't go wrong with those two celebrated classics!

Get the maximum available discount of 70% on the Syndicate series, grab both esteemed classics for just $3.58! As usual, any game you own counts towards the discount rate. The promo lasts until Tuesday, September 24, at 9:59AM GMT.

Foxhack: Dumb question: I have "Syndicate Plus" on a Creative-branded CD somewhere.

What's the difference between that and the game sold here?

AKKADIAN: Availability & Compatibility
... that doesn't answer my question. I don't know if "Plus" is a pack with both the game and its expansion or if it's something else. :P

Here's your answer:

"Syndicate is an isometric real-time tactical game from Bullfrog Productions created in 1993. It is the first title in the Syndicate series. An expansion pack, Syndicate: American Revolt, a sequel, Syndicate Wars, and a reboot Syndicate have also been released. The original game and expansion pack were re-released together in 1996 as Syndicate Plus."

I wonder if GOG would want to change of the game to Syndicate Plus, or if they just want to post the change (in bold) on the gamecard like Alpha Centauri.
Awesome sale and an awesome addition to Syndicate with American Revolt.
You guys are fantastic.
Finally, American revolt!!!! I had the original, both the CD version back in the 90s and the GOG version right now. American Revolt was sooooo hard. Still, it is Deadpool B-e-a-u-tiful to see the expansion where it belong, just right beside its parent game.
Wohoo for American Revolt! I love these games, and this is a great addition. Thanks GOG!!
Ha ha...finally have some money available in five hours and this ends this hour. XD
Content wise, Syndicate Plus is like base game with expansion. But they are different technically, Plus have expansion and new features integrated into game files and engine while normal expansion can be just added to running route as datadisk. This is related only to compatibility between versions and if you want use source-port that doesn't support Plus but expansion will play fine in it.
picked up syndicate wars. good promo
