You can add [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], indie gold nugget, to your very own ‘Best of’ collection for only $9.99 with 8 wallpapers, full soundtrack (which costs $5 extra elsewhere), 8 avatars, 22 artworks, 114 design sketches, available today on GOG.com.

You may have thought Czech are famous only for pilsner, dumplings, Eva Herzigová and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/vampire_the_masquerade_redemption" target="_blank]Vampires roaming the streets of Prague[/url]. Now, thanks to a few brilliant people from Amanita Design, the Czech Republic is also known as the homeland of trippy point-and-clicks, giant robo-junkyards, and mechanical cities. In Machinarium, you find a small robot named Josef lying on a scrapheap, kicked out of the strange city of robots. You need to get back to the city to confront and defeat the Evil Black Cap Brotherhood that terrorized robot kind and took away Josef’s girlfriend. The goal of Machinarium is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers by clicking on objects that are within Josef’s reach. So, it’s a typical point-and-click, but in the same fashion as The Triplets Of Belleville is a typical animation.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url] is hands down one of the most beautiful games for PCs ever. Of course it’s a matter of taste, but the colored pencil drawings, eerie music, and the clever conversations that involve no dialogues but rather pictographs all combine to create an ethereal atmosphere like in Le Voyage dans la lune or Metropolis. Extraordinary amount of work has been put to detailing the world to perfection, allowing you to discover all the small and big things that make the story of the little robot so artistically unique, brilliantly crafted, imaginatively realised, and fascinating to play. Machinarium is like reading your favorite book in a strange fantastic language you find yourself comprehending after the first few lines.

There is no game quite like [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], and you should not be reading this right now. Instead you should be immersed in the imaginative and memorable robo-world for $9.99 only, available now on GOG.com.

TheEnigmaticT: That's a lovely schedule, and in a perfect world we might adopt something that's kind of like that.

In the messy truth real world, I can't commit to any kind of schedule at the moment, but do trust that we will continue to do our best to get you guys all of the classic PC greats we can each week.

Lexor: Yes, I know a lot about missing the perfect world. But can you promise me to try to release at least one "real" GOG per week? I can understand this week: new site, a lot of things to do/plan, but I would not like such things as standard. There are so many games still missing on GOG's list. I can understand that new games can be also "classic" but they are often available elsewhere in many places if anyone is interested.
Exactly. I don't really understand that indie policy. These games are avaible ANYWHERE, often also DRM-Free for lower prices than on GOG. Why should I buy them here?

Yet so many old games are still missing. EA catalogue, or Square Enix are still FAR from being fullfiled. And yet we get Machinarium instead of Soul Reaver or Theme Hospital (or Popoulous: The Beginning)

According to our (rather rough) release schedule, we'll be releasing a minimum of one classic per week for the next two months, while we'll generally be doing more than that. I'll be talking more about that at the CDP Spring conference next week, since this is hardly the most public place to assuage any concerns about our release schedule. ;)

Of course, weird things can happen on the legal side at the very last minute--as has happened more than a few times before when I make a promise like this--or we can find a sudden bug on a final regression check. So I can't make guarantees. But we know what you guys want, and we'd be foolish to not try and deliver it to you.

JudasIscariot: Nice release. I never bought this during the Humble Bundle thing so I might purchase this game later after I verify the actual system requirements.
Doesnt really have any system requiremants. It is a Java game so will run on anything that can run Java.

TheEnigmaticT: What offends people is a very difficult scale to base moderation on. Me? I'm nearly impossible to offend; I know some people who get upset at words like "Darn." At the moment, it's best to moderate simply by the idea that "the moderator who moderates best, moderates least."

Also why I'm very leery of bringing in volunteer mods; it's easy for a community to be very damaged by one abusive mod.
Just for the record, I consider the way how GOG is moderated excellent. The "hands off" approach you guys have here is the best I've seen on any forum. Recent month might have seen an increase of "WTF" threads, but you've handled it nicely. This is the only forum I use on the internet, and that is for a reason.

Please, never, never, never ever install community based moderators or this "volunteer moderator" crap.

gameon: hey, i'm cool on it all. I only seem to see you modding, and no one else really. If the site grows, i was thinking you'd have alot of work/hassle.
You're correct; this *does* take a lot of time I should spend doing other things. We do have a plan in place to help manage board moderation 'round the clock, but it's a ways off before we implement it.

Yeah, its either flash or Java, forget which as I dont have it installed at the minute. Either way it doesnt have system requirements with it being done in that way :)

I think GOG must expand into newer games or face not being profitable. I don't have any data or numbers to prove this I just feel this way. I think they are releasing older games as fast as they can,making sure everything is legal and making sure it runs good. I have seen other DD services take away from GOG's market (D&D games ect.) Where in the market are they going to go? AAA titles at 60$, or high quality indie titles that fit in to the no DRM theme.

dirtyharry50: And my opinion is that you are completely wrong.
avatar
SLP2000: Ok, so I'm expressing my opinion that some people (including Merchito) in this thread were overreacting, because it's only 3 days after 'rebranding' and they were wondering if it's the end of 'old games' on GOG.com

IMO there is not even a tiny chance for it, but even if there was, it'd be too soon to tell.

And so, in my opinion, expressing such feelings while it's only 3 days since rebranding, that's what I call 'overreacting'.
It's obvious and common sense that the guy was overreacting.

Lexor: ...can you promise me ...
As far as I see it, gog cannot promise you (or us) anything.
They just cannot do "promises". They can only try to better themselves.

avatar
keeveek: Why should I buy them here?
I (and I'm sure others feel the same) i prefer to do ALL my gaming purchases on gog because i really think they have the right and correct attitude towards gamers and gaming market in general.
I cannot forget what gog did for gaming ,i cannot be selfish and go buy from some bad attitude dd service (all others are bad right now, all have some form of soft/hard drm and thats bad in my book)
So I welcome the addition of newer and indie games released "a la gog" style.
I'll always buy from here, as long the core attributes remain: drm-free, flat prices worldwide.
Hope this answers your question.

avatar
keeveek: In this business model (old + indie games) , two releases a week is definitely not enough.
I'm outta here.
I see you changed your mind, not leaving so soon? Thought so.

SimonG: Please, never, never, never ever install community based moderators or this "volunteer moderator" crap.
I agree with this, volunteer moderator its just plain stupid.

Can you play this version of Machinarium on Macintosh?
It's a Flash game if I remember correctly, so maybe it works?

Thanks!
