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.

If you’re itching for a mature, classic point-and-click adventure game, today is your lucky day! We’d like remind you about a golden gem of adventure games from the era when the genre was almost already forgotten - meet [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_longest_journey]The Longest Journey. The game created by Funcom is not only one of the best adventure titles ever created, it’s a piece of video game art! The 91 out of 100 score on Metacritic is one of many proofs for that. As a young woman, April Ryan, you’ll be switching between two parallel words: Arcadia - the world of fantasy and magic, and Stark - ruled by the strict science and technology. It seems that these two worlds are slowly merging, and April is the only one who help restore the natural order of thing. That’s a truly epic story, with truly epic characters for a truly epic price - today you can grab The Longest Journey for 60% off.

Don’t waste time, grab The Longest Journey for only $3.99 and enjoy one of the best games ever. The promo on this game ends tomorrow, July 20 at 5:59 a.m. EDT (9:59 a.m. GMT). If you already own this title or it’s just not your type of game, be sure to check back tomorrow for another Summer Gem Promo!

Drat! I would buy it instantly and would love to play it again after all those years... if only GoG had it working with windows 7.

I don't remember having any trouble with that. But then I seem to have a history of breezing through bits that other people found difficult and getting stuck elsewhere. Had no trouble with the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time either.
Great game. Recommended for those who enjoy the genre.
Merchito as i posted ealier works fine on windows 7, so there no reason not to get it.

I have the retail version, it definately works on win 7 :)
i never really saw this as a "hidden" gem.. to me it's a classic like baldurs gate/planescarp torment.. but for adventure games..

but hey, i'm glad gog makes people notice this awesome awesome game
Pity this isn't bundled along with Dreamfall (which, btw, should definitely be on here). Picked up both on Steam during the summer sale. Would rather pick it up here, DRM-free and all, but I've only got so much money.

grape1829: Is this game playable for a non-adventure-gamer?
I loved Monkey Island 1&2 back in the day but anything more complex seems to frustrate the heck out of me.

Please say the game's bad. I'm gonna have to start budgeting for smoking if I keep buying a game a day.. (bought 4 in a row I think..........)

EDIT: It's only 3. Phew!!
The game is GOOD :)) And buying games is obviously good for your health, too! :P
unless gog have done something since i bought and downloaded it. IT DOES NOT WORK ON WINDOWS 7 64BIT.
Not a hidden gem but Swarovski of the genre!

Only 3 words: GOG. Please. Dreamfall.

I played through last year on Win7 64 and didn't have a single problem.
First of the hidden gems I'd actually buy... If I hadn't bought three copies already (retail, steam and GoG) :P
