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!

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

bazilisek: Heh, my first reaction was "that's the [racing] game with the tits, isn't it?".
That, and about ~50% of the other games on here. ;)
How is the soundtrack in this game? Is it worth the price alone? Not really interested in the game itself, but can always listen to good game music. ;)
That is really good price there GoG.
Done. It's on my shelve now. :D
It's over 4000!!
Sweet! When will the promo end?
I was wrong - F buttons change the view. Awesome game, awesome price. Thanks gog.

What was the purpose of your bothering to post, here?

1) To warn others away from buying this game?
2) To express your displeasure at GOG.com?
3) To troll on the forums?
4) To let everyone know you're in a foul mood?

If you had any reason beyond #4 then you have failed to communicate it.

Yes, interesting that was made a featured screenshot - guess we know who GOG thinks their market is...

numbers 1 and technically 2.

To me this game is not nor can it ever be described as a "gem"

I dont really troll at this time of day unless im really hung over and very rarely this forum as for my mood im actually in a relatively good mood.
The biggest question is though: will it be on sale in the christmas special sale. If yes there is no need to buy it now. ;)

If you plan to buy this, the current 60% is better than the holiday sale 50%.

Now it's 60% off, on christmas sale it will be 50% off. Not a huge saving, but money is money :)

GreatEsse: Sweet! When will the promo end?
Hidden Gem promos usually last 24 hours. :)

It may be a good game but before Christmas my budget is tight so I'll pass...
