9.99$ for all,
4.99$ individually
Two Indy games.
Loom.
The Dig.
It seems like they not only noticed GoG, but they're not messing around, and are quite plainly trying to undercut them. This is getting very interesting if you ask me, I wonder if it means we won't see those game on here though. :\
Edit: Not only that, but the entire Jedi Knight series is there too. This is prime GoG material! Are we worried?

Could you make this a little less like unsubstantiated gossiping?
Steam are more popular than any other digital distribution service and more established. Why would they start making a move to DD elsewhere? If they came here first and for whatever reason it was a failure, they wouldn't know if it was worth chancing it elsewhere. It's a logical first move, even if GOG are a logical final step.

I'm waiting for the "awesome" posts from Valve Hammer Legion Members on Steam.Great idea LA. Give your old games DRM crap.

5 Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games for €18.99 is a bargain I cant refuse. I would be buying the adventure pack if I hadn't already bought both Indy Games. And stupid Steam wont let me gift anything bought in a bundle deal.

how about this... just pirate the old games, they didn't have drm..

keep in mind they didn't patch those games at all
so all the issues JK/MotS have with newer PCs are still there... also the music from JK/MotS was like many games of the time stored as CD audio tracks and is missing from the steam version
DF got the usual dosbox release
JO and JA i don't recall hearing about any problems as serious as JK/MotS when running on newer systems

Which is why I'd only buy them through GOG.

But then you're pirating, and that's never good.

Who's the "they" you're talking about? Steam? Direct2Drive? Lucasarts? Be more specific, please.

it's why i'm glad my retail copies are not scratched to hell or anything
also D2D seems to not be selling JK/MotS... i guess their standards for a game being able to work on current systems are higher than steam's

Ok suddenly it doesn't seems as much of a bargain. A Star Wars game without music just doesn't bear thinking about. Are there no fan made workarounds?

Hmm... Well, one of the Quakes had a similar audio problem that was solved by having the Quake disc in while playing the Steam version. I wouldn't be beyond buying it on Steam and downloading the disc if that would work.

Damn shame then that I'd dislike D2D far more than I do Steam.

JK/MotS is working fine for me. I'm running 7 64-bit.

None of the Star Wars games, with the possible exception of KOTOR, ever appealed to me so this isn't much of an issue personally. I'm still hedging my bets on a GoG release of certain LA titles at some time, although I have purchased The Dig from Steam because I ... just ... couldn't ... resist.
The package price is pretty much at the point all other package prices are on Steam (fairly heavy discount), so tinfoil hats are not needed in this case if you ask me.

Is the CD sound included though?
