Eclipse: But Wait, what's wrong with this discussion url? Says Codemastets_Pack_titles O_o CODEMASTETS, and it's about Age of wonders...

Navagon: Yeah, they really ballsed up all three of today's URLs. But it wouldn't be GOG without a few quirks. :D

Yeah ;) It's a tradition :]

fisk0: I'd recommend NOT using Winamp for that though, the mod support in Winamp is horrible, but there are bunch of other programs with great mod support, like XMPlay, Foobar2000 - I think even VLC Media Player can play them.

The .IT files, however, seem to play well in WinAmp. Then use ChunYu's mp3 output plugin and you've got an Age of Wonders MP3 soundtrack.

I wonder why GOG didn't include it with the game?

GOG have to get permission to provide extras, even when they can make them themselves. So obviously, they didn't get permission yet =)

EndlessKnight: In the case of Age of Wonders we see that they have priced the first one at $5.99. This makes me think that they are either going to be pricing the more up to date sequel at $9.99.

bansama: If you check the product pages for the sequels you can see that they are already priced at $9.99

zebber: That happens to be exactly what they're doing: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/New_release_Age_of_Wonders/12

Well then, there it is. I actually hadn't checked those URLs yet, but their pricing makes sense to me. Activision's did not. Hence my comment. I look forward to their future releases with enthusiasm.

I thought could be that just after posting! They can't release anything without permission of course and maybe they still need to get it for AoW bonus stuff :] I'd love some AoW hi-res wallpapers

Agreed! That alone would be enough to make me purchase earlier than I am expecting to do so. Often GOG wallpapers are the only versions available which support HD widescreen resolutions.

Come on, apart from the X-Quest games and Phantasmagoria, all of Activision titles are priced at six dollars. Compare that with Ubisoft's approach!

Well, GOG have a tendency to add bonus materials even after a game is released, so there's always a good chance of those wallpapers.

I've known about the upcoming Age of Wonders digital release for quite some time but it's still great news to finally see this amazing series becoming as readily available as this. I might go for the Impulse version of AoW1, though, since client-based services are more convenient than download-based ones for me personally. But it wouldn't surprise me if I ended up buying the stellar AoW2 from more than one place...

Or they just forgot the downloadables bar. I doubt these games don't even have a manual, after all.

oh you're right, I'd need the PDF manual as the first time I played one of the serie was years ago :P

Just take a look at this URL. It's not impossible that GOG just made a mistake there. :D
