Abundant Assortment of Amazingly Awesome Activision Amusements Available 50% off

Horror, Historical Strategy, Racing, Action, Simulation, RTS - there is a genre for every gamer this weekend, as we have prepared a selection of 10 Activision games, all 50% off, only on GOG.com.

is a treat for gamers who enjoy horror and/or gore, as the FMV adventure game delivers both a chilling storyline, written by Sierra's Roberta Williams, and very visceral graphics. Discover the secrets of the horrifying house and find out why Phantasmagoria was banned in Australia. [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/phantasmagoria_2]Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh was released a year later with a completely new storyline but shared the same controversy because of its violent content and themes. Phantasmagoria and Phantasmagoria 2 still remain very good point-and-clicks with interesting storylines, challenging puzzles, and live actors.

Dark Reign + Expansion is a 3D RTS that narrowly beat Total Annihilation as the first game of its type to incorporate 3D movement and positioning, which increases the strategic advantage of hills and mountains. This game, taking place during a colossal war between the Imperium and Freedom Guard, will surprise you with its superior artificial intelligence and battle realism. Dark Reign 2 is a sequel that definitely rose to the challenge of matching its predecessor’s high standards with improved graphics, 20 challenging missions, and battles taking place on land, at sea, and in the air, Dark Reign 2 will deliver hours of satisfying RTS-ing. Only this weekend, you can get Dark Reign+ Expansion for $4.99 and Dark Reign 2 for only $2.99.

Call to Power 2 is a turn-based strategy game and the sequel to Civilization: Call to Power. The game offers sophisticated diplomatic, economic, and warfare systems portrayed over 6000 years of gameplay, from 4,000 BC settlers to futuristic society of 2300. Blast your enemies’ musketeers with fusion-powered tanks for only $2.99 on GOG.com.

Betrayal at Krondor pack includes two games: Betrayal at Krondor and Betrayal in Antara. Based upon Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar saga, Betrayal at Krondor is one of the greatest and most memorable RPG titles ever made. Take Gorath, hero of the Riftwar, to Krondor where you'll have to think of a plan to stop the moredhel leader Delekhan. After you’re done, return to Krondor in Return to Krondor for yet another RPG adventure for only $2.99.

Police Quest: SWAT 1+2 is a set that includes Darryl F. Gates’ Police Quest: SWAT and Police Quest: SWAT 2. SWAT 1 is an FMV tactical simulator that follows police procedures and protocols and SWAT 2 is an isometric tactical strategy that simulates real-life SWAT missions and allows playing a whole campaign as terrorists. SWAT 3: Tactical Game of the Year Edition is not a traditional sequel, because it offers a completely new experience with 3D graphics, first-person perspective, authentic SWAT tactics, gear, and weapons in 27 missions. SWAT 3: GOTY and Police Quest: SWAT 1+2 are available this weekend only on GOG.com for $4.99 each.

Finally, Interstate ‘76 is aimed at speed-enthusiasts, gun-enthusiasts, or generally fun-enthusiasts. Get funked up (with the original funky disco soundtrack) in this incredible racer-shooter. Until Monday you will have to pay only $2.99 for this incredible car combat game.

Visit the promo page and pick what you like best from our selection of Activision games that are 50% off until Monday, March 12th at 11.59 a.m. EDT.
It's a shame that Interstate '76 doesn't come with the soundtrack.
Completed my Collection here - cheers GOG

Leroux: I'd like to hear some thoughts on Return to Krondor, too. The graphics don't seem to have aged well, but is it worth playing nevertheless? Is the story your average fantasy plot or something more gripping? Does it involve personal motivations for the PCs (other than just playing hero)? I read the combat system was particularly good, do you agree and why? Is it recommended to play the other Krondor games first or is the order in which to play them irrelevant (I already have the Krondor pack but didn't play it yet)?
I thoroughly enjoyed it, but then I liked the series of books that its based on. Its been quite a few years since I gave it a whirl, but as I recall, the plot is fairly standard, but very well written.

There is only one other Krondor game - Betrayal at Krondor (The other game in that pack is Betrayal at... Ancarra? Same game engine, but completely different game world), and that ones plot is completely seperate to Return's.
Published, they're made by various developers.
cool promo, but I already have most of these that are on my list. Glad to see the police quest games still around.

Thanks! It's even better than I remembered. Of course now it's not being pumped through crap speakers by a temperamental soundcard...

Heh, thanks, twasn't that hard. The link to the Quicktime files was on YouTube, and of course the other option was already on YT, too.

Presumably you're familiar with Youtube-to-mp3 sites?
Arcanum and VtMR would have been instabuys had they been part of the selection. BaK may finally move from my wishlist though.
I just got SWAT 3... Let's see if it lives up to its reputation.
I can really advise Dark Reign to anyone who likes base-building RTS games - it's a very solid, well put together game, with a surprisingly detailed backstory and a setting that spices up the standard "evil empire against good rebels" setting (it's more like "evil, fascistic empire against mostly-well-intentioned extremist rebels". Also, you're free to pick any side for every level in the campaign, as you don't work for one of the two warring factions.
I'll pickup the two krondor games, never played it, but read all 20+ books, hope the games don't disapoint.

Hope I can meet Pug and Eric in the games
Oops, meant Thomas

I don't know about Return to Krondor (but since it's basically the video game version of Tear of the Gods, I doubt it), but in Betrayal at Krondor, you not only get to meet Pug, you will also have him in your party for two missions. You'll only meet Thomas briefly, though.
