I want one I don't already have and for 9.99$ to get maximum profit. Must choose before end of May. Hope to have made the correct list below of what I don't have yet (neither on GOG nor anywhere else).

If I'd have to choose, my closer favorites (* is the biggest favorites) were Age of Wonders (any part, but I have AOW1 on CD), Battle Isle Platinum, Far Cry*, Perimeter, Phantasmagoria, Sanitarium*, Two Worlds*

For Space Quest and Police Quest I'd like to wait for a sale because I could get both at once then (i.e. Space Quest 1+2+3 and Space Quest 4+5+6, or Police Quest 1+2+3+4 and Police Quest SWAT 1+2). :-)

I like mostly RPGs and RTS, but can also enjoy a good FPS (like XIII or Portal) or Jump'n'Run (like Duke Nukem MP and all other Apogee ones) or even Adventure (like Strong Bad, Alone in the Dark 2, Monkey Island 1, Jolly Rover, etc.)

The issue with Unreal Tournament is that I have all the other Unreal games on DVD, but due to regional restrictions this was not included in Germany. I feel rather cheated there by them not including it here.

No, already have it. :-) Was wrongly on my list.

(1st post in gog)

anyway, sanitarium is a fine game if u ask me but id say also to think about broken sword 1 and 2... quite awesome stories/painted background/music, actually everything is awesome
Posted May 19, 2011
Of the ones you listed I myself would choose Sanitarium (if I didn't already have it). I wasn't always happy with all of the puzzles (well, it's an adventure game ;) ) but the story and atmosphere is great, plus the story is split in several chapters that you could compare to short stories, with different settings and climaxes; playing one story per evening is a satisfying experience. If you like creepy tales and horror, this is the one for you.

I have to admit though that my preferences are somewhat different than yours. I mostly play RPGs and adventures, hardly ever RTS, so I can't tell if you'd even have more fun with other games.

I really enjoyed Still Life and you really can't go wrong with UTGOTY.

Still Life, Another world.
Also I've enjoyed Unreal(both 1 and 2) a lot, although it's a lot different from Far Cry.
Tex Murphy's are also good, except 1+2.
Battle Isle Platinum is worth it even for Incubation only. :)

I have to second Two Worlds, it is flawed and was near unplayable to begin with but its decent enough now (I say decent enough because I still grudge how broken it was at release.)
Posted May 22, 2011
I see alot of fantasy gaming, war gaming, and adventure gaming in your list. But I also see a couple completely different games in your list too. I say go with Restaurant Empire for a different experience.
Posted May 22, 2011
I would go for two worlds as well good game once you get into it if you like rpg.

For turn based stratagy with a fantasy theme i would first go for Age of wonders shadow magic or if your into tanks etc go for battle isle platinum where you get 4 games in 1 pack.

I'd wait for a promo and snatch up as many as you can.

If you can't wait, some great suggestions already - if you are at all into adventure games check out the Tex Murphy series.

Really? Have you at least played it? I promise you there are still a lot of people playing this game. If you like multiplayer shooters it is one of the best ever.

Otherwise I'd snag one of the D&D ones, honestly. I actually grabbed Battle Isle Platinum for my freebie (I had all the RPGs included in the pre-order, so they comped me a game of my choosing), it's not a bad choice either.
