Allons-y!

The Journeyman Project 1: Pegasus Prime, a remastered edition of the opening to the classic time-travel adventure, is available 20% off for Windows and Mac OS X on GOG.com. That's only $7.99 for the first week. In that time, you can also get both sequels: The Journeyman Project 2 and The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time for only $2.99 each (that's 50% off!).

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/journeyman_project_1_pegasus_prime_the][/url]The Journeyman Project 1: Pegasus Prime Features all the rich worlds from the original award-winning adventure game, expanded with upgraded graphics and seamlessly integrated with full-motion video. It offers you dozens of puzzles and challenges with adjustable difficulty settings and assistance from online artificial intelligence at your disposal and Incorporates "lost-features" from the unreleased Playstation version. Return to the spectacular origin of the acclaimed Journeyman Project series in this specially enhanced anniversary edition. Get primed for time travel as Agent 5, in a desperate mission to stop a mysterious terrorist behind a series of ‘rips’ in the time-space continuum. Immerse yourself in a series of amazing worlds, encountering fascinating challenges and characters along your way. It’s a non-linear race against the clock to stop the deadly temporal distortion waves before you--and your world along with it--become history!

Technically speaking, it doesn't matter that much when you begin your journey through time, but from the practical point of view it's best for you to pick up The Journeyman Project 1: Pegasus Prime now, that it's offered for only $7.99 on GOG.com. In linear time the special release discount offer will last only until Thursday, April 17, at 9:59AM GMT. Make sure to grab The Journeyman Project 2 and The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time 50% off as well, before it ends!

JudasIscariot: Because twice as much work went into getting it to work on modern systems, probably :)

Keep in mind that I am guessing off-hand on that :)
Also this isn't the original JP1, it's the 1997 remake.
That and apparently features from the PS1 and the planned DVD release of the game have been put into this version, so this is actually a "new" release in some ways too, rather than just the usual classic releases on GOG which are just the old games in dosbox wrappers.

JudasIscariot: ScummVM has a Linux version, so you should be able to run the game fine without having to resort to Wine :)

There may be some fiddling involved with extracting files and what not but I don't think you'll have any problems :)
Thank you very much!
That's what I wanted to be sure of.

So very fine to have this here at last. I held off on getting it elsewhere with the hopes it would indeed arrive on the GOG-y shores. And thanks for the discount on the others in the series! I was going to sweep them all up together today regardless, but that just makes it all the more tasty.

FANTASTIC RELEASE! We have completed series here. Kudos to Presto Studios (GageBlackwood) making this release happen. By the way I won't say no if you add some cool bonus content for JP2 and JP3 ;)

I was holding off on playing the others till I could play Number One, looks like now is the time.
Posted April 10, 2014
Awesome, glad this finally made it to GOG!
Posted April 10, 2014
Thank you, thank you, thank you Presto (and GoG)! This totally made my day.

The JP series has been one of my favorites series of all time. I still remember playing the original JP on my first Pentium based PC (Win95). It came bundled with the computer. I remember reading about Pegasus Prime after that, but it was only available for the Mac back then.

Here's hoping for JP4 in the near future. Would back a Kickstarter campaign in a heartbeat.

Now that's a great idea, and seeing as Presto still "exists" at least in some minimal capacity these days, they have the JP rights. Tex Murphy has shown that a paying audience still exists for FMV-style FPP adventures.

Johnmourby: Every time it looks like GOG has given up on the old games they pull something wonderful from the sands of time
Uh, it's never looked like GOG has given up on the old games.

This reminds me of those dogs who see their owners go off to work each morning, and assume they're never coming back. Every day.

Never heard of this before. Game probably interested for fans of adventure type games. Will pass. Still hope for a classic strategy, sim release and that gog gets back to the promised 2 classics a week schedule.

Excellent! Glad to see that wishlist entry marked as "completed".

(Oh, and if somebody craves this to be said, "Why doesn't GOG release old games anymore?")

Yeah. It takes time to locate who owns the rights to games and then secure distribution rights. Plus to test them to see what it takes to get them working on modern machines, assuming they even can.

See, GOG still releases good old games.

It's actually the SCUMMVM team that got this working, with a huge assist from the original devs.

Hmmm, everybody round here seems to already know that this game is fantastic---but I´ve never heard of it!
Couse there aren´t any reviews yet: What would you tell me to convince me to buy this one? ;)
