In Space No One Can Hear You Play.

Human, alien--doesn't matter. At GOG.com we speak a universal langueage: great games & low prices. Today, prepare for a launch into 2013 with a collection of sci-fi space sims packed together for 75% off in [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/santa_in_space]Santa in SPAAAAACE bundle. 9 games for $15.41 is this year's last special offer, so don't miss it!

The Star Control series has what is is arguably one of the best the game of space exploration ever made! The games are epic space opera with clever humor, thrilling starship battles, and hair-raising plot twists; it’s a mix of genres many of titles have tried to copy--often without success--and it’s one of the most influential titles of the ‘90s. If you are a *camper* who likes to have *parties*, buy Star Control 1+2 for only $1.49 or Star Control 3, the final part of the series, for the same low price.

Haegemonia Gold Edition consists of Legions of Iron (the main game) and the expansion: Solon Heritage. It’s an epic sci-fi RTS set during a civil war between Earth and Mars colonies. Pick a side - be it Earth or Mars - and forge a better future for your people. Build, command, and lead your forces in this challenging 3D RTS, where you can eventually build a multi-system empire that pits you against a variety of aliens who all seem to want one thing: everything you have.

Master of Orion 1+2 series is a paragon of sci-fi managerial strategy. Lead your race towards galactic domination in a universe full of opportunity. Those games are so complex and satisfying, that you could easily play them for years.

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident might easily be one of the most captivating and feature-rich space combat tactical games. Additionally it has a huge fanbase and modbase--check the Mod Spotlight we have prepared for the game for even richer space exploration experience.

Fragile Allegiance is an excellent addition to the conquer-the-galaxy genre, a combination of SimCity, Civilization, and Master of Orion with complex diplomacy and challenging AI.

Don't forget the two space combat simulators Independence War Deluxe's and Independence War 2 and complete your space collection for 75% off today in Santa in SPAAAAACE bundle.

Bloodygoodgames: I think most of us hate the bundles but, unfortunately, GOG is obsessed with them.

[…]

Then again, we can't really complain.

ZivilSword: Of course not. :) I have to say, the 50% on (almost) everything is a really nice and fantastic offer. As I said, I will buy some games before the sale is over. This is still fantastic and allows to get some really good and quite new games for a quite reasonable price.

So there is nothing to really complain. I just wanted to say that (and why) the bundles don’t make much sense. GoG just got its bundle strategy wrong. So it is a hint to do something else next year. The pick-5-offer from last month was great IMO. These bundles just annoy me, it’s like a giant advertisement, because I bought not a single bundle but will buy some from the advertised games. ;)

And the only special offer where you could buy single games at the same discount price was from Telltale, but as Telltale decided in making point-and-click adventures without pointing and clicking (you have to DRAG a person to let him go somewhere), I did not buy Back to the Future nor Tales of Monkey Island … it’s a pitty because story and humor are great, but without a decent control, all is nothing.
LOL, that's why I didn't buy any Telltale games either. The controls are horrendous. I only own one Telltale game from GOG and I wasn't impressed (and I HATED The Walking Dead -- as the controls, again, were terrible) so unless Telltale suddenly gets a clue with the controls, it's not likely I'll ever buy another of their games.

Seeing how successful they've been financially, I don't see this happening anytime soon. Especially TWD seems to have been a big money-maker for them from the console crowd.

Yep, it's a pity as their games really are sub-standard when it comes to controls. I lasted about an hour and a half with The Walking Dead and would have pitched my laptop out of the window if I hadn't just deleted the game instead. :)

Unfortunately, too many people nowadays are happy to accept games that have severe problems if they like the subject matter (and zombies are still 'cool', god knows why??). Me? Life is too short to play a game where one segment of it is simply broken :)

ErekoseDM: is today the last day of 'nearly' site-wide 50% off?

or is it just the last bundle day?

i thought jan 3 was the final day or something, but cant find anything just yet corroborating my memory.

Edit:
found it on the main page banner

"452 GAMES ON SALE · NEW DEALS EACH DAY · ONLY UNTIL JAN 3 "

what are the final 2 days 'deals' to be?
i know off that list from the prior days one of the days is that War one.
but thats still 2 more days.

SHAZYZANG: Does anybody know what time on the 3rd it ends?
Most probably 3pm GTM, as that is when each sale starts/ends.
i liked last year's holiday promo, with the daily voting between two games

That was summer. Last Christmas it was a blanket -50% on the whole (almost) catalogue.
I bought Moonbase Commander 5 hours before this sale started. :) Also got XIII before that leaves GOG, so I'm pretty happy. Still great deals, at 50% off.

So we'll have a bundle, an unrevealed deal (bundle redux?) and then a new release on the 3rd...?

Me not know. Me dumb.
Dammit, the bundle was so tempting I ended up getting it even though I'm not into strategy games...

The biggest collections of games I'll likely never play that I've bought in recent history, and that's saying something.

DelusionsBeta: FYI it's also the last day to buy XIII, so grab it now before it gets removed from the catalogue tomorrow.
Thanks for mentioning it. I missed the news. The gameplay videos look good. I bought it today.

Indeed. From blue-text Turnip Slayerr: "The sale will be until 14.59 GMT on Jan 3rd."
I already have all the space games I want, just wanted to say that I approve of the Pigs in Space reference
