The alphabet saved the best for last!

Z, the classic Real Time Strategy Game by the Bitmap Brothers remade for the modern PC and the contemporary gamer, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $5.59 for the first week.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/z][/url]With Z, fans of this classic strategy title are in for a real treat! Everything is in here from the terrific comedy cut scenes to the frantic game play, making this the definitive version of Z.Under the command of General Zod, it is your job to take control of chain smoking, foul-mouthed, abusive, alcoholic robot-grunts, whose main purpose is to battle it out on different planets of the universe. That is, if they're not currently crashing the ship they're on! Advance through the landscape and take over abandoned factories and radar sites which will help you produce more vehicles and weapons to aid your army to victory. This is not a drill, soldier! Every decision counts, and if you screw up, you will be punished for it. General Zod is ready to rumble and makes no bones about it! Z is simply the fastest, funniest, most frantic, feature-packed action-strategy game you'll play this century!

If you're looking to get back to the roots of Real Time Strategy gaming, and you're not afraid of fast-paced and challenging gameplay, you simply need to get Z, for only $5.59 on GOG.com. The 20% off release discount lasts until Friday, July 11, at 9:59AM GMT.

What's with the abnormal price for this one, GoG m8? 7.99?

I remember reading your "transaction to regional currencies" article in which you expressed dominating the classical-game market and reassuring us normal folk that the prices for classic games will remain at a crisp 5.99 / 9.99 dollars, with their specific euro conversion for when the time comes.

Did I miss a meeting?

This is a remake not the classical version but epic stil. Thats why the price.

20% discount, beats the Steam release, has extras, not working on XP will be fixed later, original game will be added as a bonus later, the sequel is also coming to GOG/Steam later this month (also on 20% discount)

Might be a remake but it retains the nature of the classic

Normally I don't get new entries on GOG (Have 100+ games and they all came from sales) but in this case it deserves an exception...insta-buy

Who said that this will be fixed later? If the game really uses DX 10 or DX 11 it will not work on Windows XP. For me this is just another reason not buy this remake.

Ah... I have so many *great* memories of NOT playing the demo of this game!

The demo came in a demo collection cd rom bundled in a magazine I bought in the nineties. I was very intrigued by the game, but it just never ever worked.

A Pity.

Well, I can't buy it now that I'm out of a job. Maybe in the future when I'm with proper funding again. :)

Do you have SP3 on your XP installed? That is a must from what is written on Steam requierement page for Z.

Can you please direct me to the place, where it is stated, that original game will be added as a bonus later? Thanks a lot in advance.

Feels more like a port, as remakes usually tend to have one or two extra features (if only better resolution and graphics).

But I don't want to pour over your parade. Guess change just gets me a little on the edge; this is the gaming industry, after all.

Excellent ! Been waiting for it :D I planned to buy the Steam version, but since your first... ;)

This is not the classic version of Z, this is just a Mobile-Remake ported to PC. And if you remember how lousy Speedball 2 HD is there's a good chance that this remake might be just as lousy. Too bad that we can't get the classic versions of Z.

If GOG plays fair we will get original game as a bonus, possibly get steel soldiers as a bonus but thats unlikely since it gets its own launch, XP issues "will" get fixed because its requested, the point is....your better off dealing with it here instead of Steam

If GOG does not add a bunch of extras later on for Z I will be really disappointed (Like the map editor thing, or some forum avatars, or some emoticons, or fan art wallpapers etc)
