Bet you didn't see this coming. Today we release part one of the adventures of the world's favorite Mudokon.
[url=/en/gamecard/oddworld_abes_oddysee][/url]Armored with a puny, fragile body and armed with cunning and magic chants it's up to you to save your kin from becoming the New and Tasty. The ODDs are against you but they say a Mudokon is most dangerous when cornered (OK, they don't really say that). The game features challenging gameplay and beautiful visuals which still look appealing even in today's HD and next-gen gaming world. [url=/en/gamecard/oddworld_abes_oddysee]Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee[/url] is definitely a must-have for any gamer who likes a good platformer. Also make sure you keep an eye out for the sequel - [url=/en/gamecard/oddworld_abes_exoddus]Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus[/url]. Both games are only $9.99 each.

Excellent games. Great launch! Unfortunately i think they are a bit overpriced. If they were 5,99 each or 9,99 both i would consider buying them. At this price I'll hardly give a thought about abe.

Yeah for a THIS old game 10 bucks isn't that much of a great price unluckily. Fans should appreciate maybe, but they probably have it already.

Great!! :D Really worth it, one of the best games I've ever played!

GOG isn't about prices, 10 bucks are fine for those legends, and 6 bucks are just little surprise for us, not every publisher is willing to give those games so cheap, better pay 10 then not have it at all (but personally i will wait a while to buy them, still have enought games from there to finish)

Fantastic games... I'm glad to see them at GOG.
And Darkstar One gets delayed in one day... no big deal, Abe deserves the honor. ;)

I know GOG is not about the prices, it is about pearlslike this and the advantage of being DRM free. But come on, this game is eleven years (DRM didn't even existed back then, at leas as we know it) charging 10 bucks, i think is a bit pricey (even if maybe you're a fan). But that's just me, the "end of month penny counter" talking. :D

Sadly these games don't look terribly interesting to me. I just finished Fallout 2 and I'm pondering what to buy next. I might end up going with another RPG.
Nevertheless, glad to see new games added.. looking forward to see what's next week!

If you've never had a chance to play these games... well... seriously, they are way too awesome. Tons of personality, puzzles that used to drive me crrraaaazy.

I agree 10 USD is a bit to high. I dont know the mecanism behind this price, but we are talking about 10 years old product. And somewhere is statated, that only new titles will be 10 USD, the older will be 6 USD. So im not very happy with this price politics here. But as stated i dont know whats behind such decesion.
Keep the good work GOG!

how much do you want to bet?

That's really great to have these games here, I've been meaning to play them for a long time.
However, the price, as said before, looks a bit too high.. it's mainly a psychological effect, and such a price may very well have been the only thing that could let you guys get the game, but still.. I have to note it :)
I'll most probably end up buying them, I'll just wait a bit instead of doing it right away.

I think it was sarcasm ;)

You might turn it around to the publishers POV and say "better to charge only $6 than not sell it at all".
[EDIT]
Try to compare it with UT2004. Would you really say that OAO has the same value as that?

I know, but if someone didn't mention that ingenious thread, who would?
