Lenny: I'd buy every hexen & heretic game pluss Quake 4 even if i already own that one.

As has been mentioned before, ID super steam pack. $60 bucks for practically every ID game worth playing.

Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. Ahh the hours I spent lightsaber dueling people on-line on that game!
I'd only buy it if there was still some life in the multiplayer.

Barefoot_Monkey: What did you dislike so much about Outcast? I would place it among the better of all of the Star Wars games made by anyone. And although there were some nice additions in Academy, but I don't think that was anyware near as good as its predecessor.
Different strokes, I guess...

Terrible story.
Terrible weapons. (only game ever where i didn't actually realise i'd got the rocket launcher for about 4 levels)
Terrible bosses.
Level design that didn't look like star wars. (Nar Shadar looked like something from star trek).
Tiny levels with none of the originality of the original game, or the verticality, or any of the environmental puzzles.
No decent light side/dark side effect.
No NPC characters.
Totally linear levels.
Horrendous decision to hook up kyle and jan for no reason whatsoever.
Loads of equipment you never used.
can't remember anything else off the top of my head.. but as a follow up to one of the best FPS games ever it came as a major disappointment.
I guess the only think about Academy was that my expectations had been lowered. Plus they didn't really try to make a story, and by breaking the levels into small missions, giving you a briefing and letting you pick loadouts, you at least occasionally used some of the equipment.

Great Deal but after DoW2 got released with steam as a requirement I'm done with that service. I can't buy from them and give publishers the impression that that is ok when I don't like it at all.
On the topic of Raven I think Black Crypt and Shadowcaster would be cool releases too.

Kudos to you for doing what's right.

I just ordered some of Raven's Classics from Amazon.com, because I know there is very little chance that Activision will give two shits about GOG.com.
Activision as you most of you know is currently the most evil and idiotic publisher and by recent accounts, EA will be on GOG.com well before CEO Bobby Kotick realises this site exists.
Pray for EA to bring their classics here and maybe Acti "$$$" Vision will see the light!
