Ohhh this is suprise. King's Bounty isn't old game so this release is ryly strange for me ;). I heard something about this game, maby I'll buy it.
This is a no-wait-for-promotion-instabuy, even though I already own the game over another DD service.
Now go and get that original King's Bounty DOS game up here on GOG, ya hear me? :)

Detlik: That would be pretty sweet see one amazing game from my country on GoG :) sadly, i doubt anyone will bother with translation
avatar
Fenixp: You mean besides developement team, who already said they will translate the game? ... Yeah, I doubt so as well. At any rate, the game wasn't as good as I have expected...

Huh, sorry didnt read about that, in that case even though its buggy game I hope it will be on GoG :)

TBH, I'm surprised that it's not already up here. It's a much better match for GoG's mission statement, AND it's not already widely available compared to this.
I have to agree with others. While it's cool to see such a great game like King's Bounty get more recognition, I'm here for older titles honestly.
Also, I already purchased this at retail and the expansion on another online service.
I still love GoG. Keep them coming!

Add me to the list of those who want the "old" games. While I do like some of the recent releases, I want the hard to find older games. That is what truly makes GOG different from the rest.
A very welcome title here, and with a surprise arrival. Although I was expecting this title to be released sooner or later, since 1C joined gog. :)
Now, what is required to have the original game from 1990, here on gog? I'd buy it.
avatar
alexei_net: And I bought it on Steam and haven't played yet.
Dammit.
Was cheaper there though.

Was cheaper only because it was on a sale... ;)
I've checked there now and it is $12.99, and the sequel is $29.99.

gyokzoli: Actually, now I am hoping that we are going to see other 1C releases soon on GoG.
Hint: Fantasy Wars and Elven Legacy ;-)

Indeed, there are some 1C titles that I somewhat want to try... would be nice to have them fully patched and drm-free here.
Titles like Fantasy Wars, NecroVision, Men of War (and the previous titles: Silent Heroes and Faces of War), etc.

Delixe: I think it's more like 1C wanting more business. [...] While the game may be too new for some people's tastes, it keeps 1C happy and that means they are more likely to open up more older games to GOG which is a good thing.

Agreed.
Keep the catalogue growing, with good games... if they are good like King's Bounty, then I'm cool with it.
Well, a good new game will sooner or later become a good old game after a few years. But a bad game will be bad forever.

This is what I'm talking about.
A good game deserves to be here, two years more or less of waiting won't make a difference when looking at the big picture. ;)

actually, I've bought Inquisitor for Christmas and have never encountered a major bug since... I've started to play it a lot after installing patch around 1.06, now I'm on 1.10 and I think I had just two crashes of the game in those 5 months. Great game by the way, just my blood type ;)

ANOTHER Czech person? Is there some kind of invasion I haven't been informed of going on in here? 'cause if there is, I want to be a part of it!

You Czech users are not alone! I've seen increased Hungarian activity here recently (with gyokzoli becoming a somewhat active member, and two new arrivals in the introduction thread), so it must be a Central European invasion! :-)
(Hmm, maybe better make that reinforcement, given the GOG staff is Central European as well...)
I think Central Euroepan like old games ;)
+1 for the Hungarians:) Its a good thing, that so many people like the older games in Europe:) Mostly because there arent too much new games worth playing. Maybe 3-4 a year. So I usually go back to my old favorites, nothing can beat them:)
By the way im planning to buy the game, but anybody knows if it works fine on Win7? Since I installed it, my boxed version drops me to the desktop every 10-15 minutes. So if it works fine, than im willing to buy this great game again:).

I have been thinking about this the other day. I think the reason is that we're basically the first generation to be nostalgic about the games of our youth; and while Americans very often get this feeling around Nintendo (NES) games, we are the die-hard PC crowd. I don't think I have ever even seen a NES, myself. The market evolved much more slowly, with communism and all, and the first successful console around here was, I believe, the Playstation.
I personally grew up with the ZX Spetrum (imported from the UK for an insane price), but after that era was over, it was PC games that shaped my childhood. And I do think it's roughly the same case with Slovaks, Hungarians and Poles.
