Let's go adventuring!

Pick up King's Quest 1, 2, and 3 for 60% off--and go read IGN's Year of Adventure retrospective on the series here!

The cool cats over at IGN have decided that this year they will run a "Year of Adventure" series of retrospective of some of the best adventure games ever made. We heard about that and said, "Fantastically good classic adventure games? The devil you say! We have loads of those here at GOG.com. Maybe we can work together to increase the amount of awesome on the Internet!"

And lo, we have. While we don't have *every* fantastic classic adventure game in the catalog (yet! We're keep trying!), for the games that we do have in our collection that IGN has found to be worth covering in their retrospective series, we'll be offering that game at a great discount for 48 hours after their article runs.

The first game we're offering is the incomparable King's Quest 1 + 2 + 3 series. IGN's article covers what makes these games so compelling--even today--in greater depth than we can in a newspost like this. Check out the article--and the sale--and tell us what you think a critical game for a "year of adventure" retrospective should be in the comments below. The offer lasts until Tuesday, February 11, at 11:59PM GMT.

Fuck IGN :)

Cool deal though
Never played KQ. I'm too tired to go look at the promo page, how long is the sale?

Oh 2-11.

I have never played a text point and click adventure game.

Tonight I will think about picking this one up
*Scratches head*
IGN? Really they feel qualified to - oh sale!
<Facepalm>
As always, keep trying for more Activision, please! More Infocom, Freddy Pharkas, etc.

Oh, and what about adventure games for children? ;)

EDIT: BTW, isn't it like 1 or 2 am over in Poland? I assume this was timed to appear.

Nice publicity.
Nothing quite says "CORPORATE SYNERGY" like putting old adventure games on sale!
Just finished 4, 5, 6. Not quite ready to go back and try 1, 2 3, methinks.
Well this was, unexpected.
I do appreciate the promo, but IGN is considered by most serious gamers to be an absolute joke of a website, for many good reasons I might add.

What universe have you been living in
Thank you for the promo! I own them already, but we have fond memories of playing them when we were younger (a lot younger...)

Promos like this are not a bad idea. They give publicity for GOG and point the more gamers here who might not even know about the site. And yes, it is possible to not know about GOG or at least not know how much it stands for.

Thanks again!

Because they're probably looked at as over opinionated, or bias, or not caring of DRM-free, or maybe people just think they're rude...who knows. I don't pay attention much to it myself, or most large editorials on the net for that matter, but it is one of the largest for sure.

The fact is though that it's great to see them work with GOG as it can bring in more traffic and possibly have a new generation of classic game fans.
