Fall get's me excited about a lot of things; apple and pumpkin picking, spews of town fairs and renaissance faires, as well as fall color, the cool air, and, above most things, the ability to scare the crap out of people and not be out of character, thanks to Halloween. In that respect, I like to over indulge in anything creepy, scary, or dark, especially with my games.

If GOG was to release a creepy, DRM-free game this fall season, what would you want it to be?

This. :p

I love the atmosphere of the fall season and Halloween, too. :)

Here are some personal wishes that fit the scary/creepy theme:

- John Saul's Blackstone Chronicles
- Bad Mojo
- Barrow Hill
- Faust (aka Seven Games of the Soul
- The Lost Crown
- Ripper
- Shadow of the Comet
- Shivers
- Shivers 2

You are in luck.
That game is already released as freeware ;)

Doesn't work, I'm afraid :( It was initially intended only for US gamers.

Sounds fishy.

Midway_suffering.exe - 1.355.811.950 bytes.

Just tested the game, it works fine here?

You actually played the game ?

Yeah, but only past the initial dialogs, and then ran around a bit in the first room.

Odd... It didn't work for me. Just told me it's connecting to the internet, then gave me an error message. What site did you download it from ?

I can't remember exactly since the game archive have been sitting on my nas for quite some time.

I have found another location to download from - and I'm 99.9 percent sure that installer is identical to that one i just installed now. You better try this one first:

Sometimes it doesnt work for some - on the whole its one of the midway "ad-sponsored" games that does work - as long as you're always online. i think a dynamic IP might affect it though


As to the OP - anything genuinely creepy would satisfy - will have a look at others suggestions / wishes later to see if theres anything im not familiar with - soon as macready has done the flamer test!

Never heard about the game before, but it looks interesting. Thanks for the link.

But:
So the game won't work if I'm offline?

Thanks, gonna download it in a few days when I recharge my internet card.
For me the game didn't start at all, even when I was online.
WTF? Why not? Dude, it's one of the best action-horror games ever made ! And it was made freeware by the US Air Force !

can you remember where you downloaded it from?
