As our catalog gets bigger and better every week, it’s easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. We’ve been running one day “Gaming Gem” promos for a while now to highlight some classic titles that don’t get the love of some of our best-known blockbusters like Baldur’s Gate or Duke Nukem 3D. To celebrate summer, for the next two weeks until July 25th, we’re going to run a Gaming Gem promo every day, so you can rediscover these lesser-known classics! Grab that plastic toy shovel and dig out gem after gem over the next 18 days. We think every game we’re going to be offering on our Summer GOG.com Gem Extravaganza will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

Good morning. My name is Dirk Smartly, and here’s your news for the day.

The fight between the United Civilised States and the Eurasian Dynasty continues to rage. NEO, our political overlord, advises us that our valiant robots in blue will shortly overcome the rampaging forces of the spineless Eurasian Dynasty. NEO also has instructed me to tell you that rumors that the huge atomic explosion that the treacherous ED purports to have set off on the North Pole has certainly not knocked the earth out of orbit, sending it spiralling into the sun in a path of fiery destruction and ruin which will end with all of us screaming in agony as the atmosphere overheats and boils our very flesh away.

In other—entirely unrelated!—news, our friends the Lunar Corporation are attempting to build a massive ship that can hold millions of people and animals and are intending to send it on an interplanetary journey to a destination that is not hurtling into the sun at unbelievable speeds. If, that is, there was a place that was doing that. Operators are standing by to take applicants for this daring and adventurous cruise across the vacuum of space, so call now!

Finally, we want you to know that the UCS is recruiting! For a trivial price of $2.39 you can enter your application, download our command and control packet from GOG.com, and take the fight to the enemy with our cleverly titled "Earth 2150 Trilogy” simulation software package. Revel in its stunning 3D glory! Gasp in astonishment at the graphics, the innovative in-game unit creator, and the flexible tactics you can use to defeat your foes! Be dazzled by the cunning and treachery of your opponents in either single- or muti-player battles! Help varied factions fight to preserve the very future of humanity itself!

The UCS only offers this new commander application program on sale for the next 24 hours, so be sure to pick up the gem from our local vendor GOG.com before this promotion runs out, and check in tomorrow to see what’s for sale on GOG.com!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to see if the Lunar Corporation has any need for a dashingly handsome and talented newsreader like me.

Does it feel hot in here to you?

As "community service" I'll donate it to you - but only if you promise NOT to pay me back.
I wouldn't buy it for myself, conditions considered and I will be spending far too much money this month as is - so this has to be a one of - I am not rich!.
Anyway if someone else haven't given the game to you in an hour or so then P.M. me and you can have it for free from me....

P.S.
Guess they don't have P.M. here - so OK I will watch this thread instead...

Just in the process of downloading; will give it a bash. If it's rubbish then hey it's no worse than wasting my money on pint of lager.... but at least I'll still have something to show for it.

Can't wait for tomorrow now; it's just like Christmas!! :-)

wolfsnake: He won't be the only one in this boat; I'd probably be in the same predicament (only worse, she'd probably say I couldn't have any) but I just keep it hush hush. What she doesn't know won't hurt her!
Ah, but what she might find out later will probably hurt me! lol

Lexor: I wonder how you can tell that in rest of hidden gems you will find 5 suitable games, not just 4 only? :D
I can't. That's the gamble. :)

so... you are going to buy last 5 in a row I predict :D ;)

adambiser: (...) she might find out later will probably hurt me!
Just take the route of every sensible individual. Blame it on GOG and have her hunt down and beat up TheEnigmaticT instead. After all, a PR manager got to take some beating for his company ;)
Great write up. Keep it up!

That is a very good possibility (assuming I would want them, which there are very few on here that I flat out would not want). :)

Hmm, that's right! Or! hold him for ransom for the codes to get all of the items on my wishlist. The possibilities.... Muahaha. :) Now to convince her of this diabolical plot!

Oh! - I looked in the account settings and stuff - the P.M. button next to a persons name only seems to work/be there if the person is online - if I am not mistaken - perhaps I am just not knowledgeable enough about this forum.....
(Just found out that the missing button is because some people kills the send message button themselves)

Anyway.. I just didn't want to waste my money , in case someone else had fulfilled your wish.....
Doesn't seem so....
I'll gift you the game in a sec. if I can find my way around it....

No, even when the person is offline you can still PM him/her. The only requirement is that you need to find this person's post on forum.

No. You can use/enter your own email - then you will get gift code yourself by email and then pass the code by using PM to the right person. :)

Thanks for the speedy intro....
This forum works a little different than I am used to....

I was confused because (I think) some had killed their own P.M. buttons in the forum.

And I wasn't aware that I could gift by sending to my own email address (never know how a computer system/server reacts if you do something unexpected...) .

But thanks for the help...

GameRager ought to have received the game by now....

Thanks!
