As our catalogue gets bigger and better every week, it’s easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. Of course [url=http://www.gog.com/en/catalogue#all_genres/search/fallout/]Fallout, Baldur’s Gate, and some other of our most popular titles will always get a lot of attention, but GOG has many more classics to bring you. To help encourage you to explore the dustier reaches of GOG’s catalogue, we’re going to be offering a promo on the first and third Wednesday of every month. Think of it as a curated promo on some of GOG’s favorite titles that you may not have played. Whether we’re encouraging you to explore incredible new worlds or inviting you to see how a titanic series got its start, we think every game we’re going to be offering on our GOG Gem Promos will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

Pick up Slipstream 5000 for just $2.39 for the next twenty-four hours here on GOG.com. This is one of the ultimate 90s racers: take your hovercraft or jetcraft for wild spin around a dizzying array of courses. With 10 armed to the teeth and blazing fast jets and hovercraft, you'll need to steer left and right, descend or ascend, and find one of many alternate paths to make tracks to victory! Live the life of a celebrity racer and take part in a world series of races (including racing around the Eiffel Tower in Paris!).

Wait no longer, grab your helmet, fasten your seatbelts and buy Slipstream 5000 now 60% off for only $2.39! Note that today's discount is more than the Holiday promo will be, so if you've been waiting to pick up this racer, now's the best time to do it!

While I wasn't waiting to pick this up, how can I say no to Kin, Gin and Victoria Venice?

Heh, my first reaction was "that's the racing game with the tits, isn't it?".

This is exactly the one game that I keep sitting on the fence with regard to adding it to my wishlist or not. I'm kind of waiting for a good racing game, and Slipstream seems interesting - but racing games are one of the few genres where graphics actually matter to me, and the screenshots look rather pixelated to me. Any advice? :)

Awesome stuff. Not really a game I was looking to play, but for the price of a latte, how could I refuse?

Sold :)

Is it comparable to wipeout? And if it is, is it better/worse? I loved wipeout (especially the one for PSP for whatever reason)

That's what I'm hoping - it's only a 94mb download, so I should be able to let you know soon.

What? Truly hidden gem. I've never noticed this game is here.
Posted December 07, 2011
Heh.

Just to have an other heh on this topic.

low rated
Great, atleast when a shit is on the ground I can ignore it, when someone bags it up puts a bow on it and waves it at me it is still shit

It's awesome. I loved this game as a kid, and I still do because other than Big Red Racing, there's no other game like this on the PC.

Think of it as Wipeout meets arcade flight sim. Some of the maps are awful e.g. the jungle tracks, but it's not enough to pull down the overall quality of the game. Races are very exciting as you try to outrun and outgun your opponents.

From the 10 minutes I just spent playing, this seems like it would be about right. Sadly, it seems that there's only first person perspective, which makes it pretty much unplayable for me. Never mind, it was worth a shot :)
