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.

Today's hidden gem is here to show you how the legendary Unreal series got its start before it became the definitive competitive tournament game of the Internet. This ultimate shooter classic had stunning graphics for the time, giving the era's 3D graphics cards a real workout, while the gameplay made sure you kept your fingers limber.

You are a prisoner who crashed on an unknown alien planet. The story is generic but it's not the enthralling plot twists that earned Unreal Gold a place in the pantheon of FPS games. The dazzling graphics, artistic level design, and sheer awesome gameplay is what Unreal is all about. Escape from Na Pali and then you're ready for the second serving in the form of a mission pack Return to Na Pali. Recover very important weapon research logs on the crashed military spaceship, three new weapons, and nearly 20 missions to shoot, blast, and charge your way through!

Check for yourself where all of the Unreal hype originated from in this Unreal Gold pack for only 3.99$ for the next 24 hours.

Ironic, I just got given a physical copy of Unreal Anthology last night.
instantly bought :)

Need to play it again with the High-Res Mods :)
Have this on a Unreal Collection Pack or something on disk, doubt I'll ever play it again. Maybe I'll grab it on a Unreal collection sale someday here on GOG, wink wink.

But still ,great promo, kudos to GOG

Hm, I'm really kinda lost here when it comes to your definition of "hidden". I mean, Unreal was a mainstream success since its very start. :P
Still: Awesome game and although I already own it I think I'm gonna buy it again. :)
I was kind of hoping we'll get Unreal pack as a weekend promo soon, but I won't complain in this one :P
Finally a good promo for this title!

Time to buy it for me, wanted to give this a shot for a long time :)
This is hard.

I don't know, if i want this.
Maybe a stupid question, but: it's worth it? :) Or I wait for Unreal2? Which I know by demo and like it, even the fans says it's the worst from series. The MP is still active for that game too?

This game is awesome. Definitely an insta-buy if you like U2.
Have it, amazing game overshadowed by the other releases at the time.

Wallet break 2: Breaking of the wallet
If you like classic ego shooter, this is a must-buy!
I already have UT and one Unreal game on my shelf is enough, I think.
