Share your Good Old Gaming memories and get up to five $9.99 games!

We are all retrogamers at heart and our identities are built on the foundation of classic gaming memories. We know you have plenty of those as well. Memories, that is, not identities (and even if, let’s just not go there). We would like to give you an opportunity to tell us about your very own greatest classic gaming moments and grab some free games in the process!

"Let's play" videos seem to be all the craze these days. But they’re so 2010’s. Let’s do something with more of a retro-feel. Let's talk about the classics! Tell us your "GOGgame Story"! There has to be at least one game on your GOG.com shelf that holds a special place in your heart. One that you think of more like an old friend than just an item of electronic entertainment. Recall the good times you had with it, record a video and upload it to YouTube to share your love for classics with the world and get a chance to grab some free games!

To put it in six simple steps:

1. Look at GOG.com catalogue of games.
Choose one that you feel like you have much to tell about.

2. Make a "GOGgame Story":
a video of some in-game footage, your commentary, and maybe even you in person--just about anything that will spice up your video.

3. Please include the following screen at the end of your video.
The image is provided in 720p resolution. If your video is smaller, re-scale or crop, but keep the 16:9 aspect ratio.

4. Upload your "GOGgame Story" to YouTube.
Call it something like "[Game Title], a GOGgame Story, by [YourGOGForumNickname]" and make it public. Also, please include the following text in the video’s description: “The game in this video is available on http://www.GOG.com”.

5. Provide a link to your video in the thread below.

6. Profit!*

* Starting next week, each Friday till the end of November, the video with the most views will be awarded with 5 codes (each for a $9.99 game). The same prize will go to the author of the most cereative video (Mr. A, our Video Ninja will be the judge of that). Yet another pack of 5 codes will be given to the author of GOG's favorite video (by popular vote of our whole staff). Three runner-up prizes, 1 code each, will be handed out as well. Ingenuity, humor, and creativity will be taken into account. Multiple entries are allowed. A public list of winning videos will be held in the forum. Picking a game that didn’t already have a winning video created for it, will improve your chances. As well as wearing a monocle and a top hat in the video. Just kidding. Or...?

That’s the whole deal - pick a classic game that you love from GOG.com catalogue, tell the internets your "GOGgame Story", get free games. Sounds pretty easy, eh? Well, ladies and gentlemen, start your cameras!

Hope you'll enjoy...
I call dibs on Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee! (or Abe's Exoddus, whichever I feel I can get the best material from)

If I decide I can't put a video together from either game I'll let y'all know so someone more competent can do these games instead. :P

Here is my entry! I had a lot of fun doing it since It's one of the games I really appreciate from when I was a lad. I know it's not a "story", more like a "review" or my personal opinion, I kinda like those kind of movies. Also It's 720p! :D!

Excuse my english though, not a native speaker :P
Ps, it's processing, wait a few minutes before checking it.

Thanks!
Elratauru
I really liked your review. I never really played that game but it does seem like it's wroth a look.

thanks for the list
The best video so far I'd say is easily the Battle Chess video. Raises the bar for the rest of us!
Here's mine - no way as good as the others here but Quest for Glory needed a mention :)

And now I have a problem... it turned out my build-in microphone is a piece of crap and I can BARELY understand my own record! I guess I have but two options: make a subtitled video or pass... hmm... gotta think about it...
Wow, Battle Chess raised the bar by a mile indeed.

Did you activate the dB-boost? That's fairly important for most non-professional mics.
Hi,
Though my video is not voiced, I uploaded it anyway. Mostly because I've done it some time ago for fun, anyway, so there's no hurt in trying. Hopefully you won't consider it as spam ;)

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've already tried that and believe me - it didn't help at all ;)
Just recorded it and now exporting.

It has no humor, but it's a story that involves my early childhood. And a challenge that would not be accomplished for many years.

EDIT:Oops, it seems like they sorta hint towards having gameplay in it.
Debating if I should scrap this and do a gameplay video or if I should go ahead.
