Arcanum, Gabriel Knight, Zeus+Poseidon, Quest for Glory 1-5, and 27 other Activision games 60% off!

As the weekend draws near, it's time to reveal the next exciting promo on GOG.com. Behold the [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/activision_weekend_promo_05_10_12/]Activision Greats, a superb collection of 31 memorable titles. Oh, wait... that's wrong. What I meant was: 31 game boxes. Some of them contain more than just one game, so the actual number of Activision Greats amounts to impressive 54 titles! And you can get them all 60% off until Tuesday Ocober 9 at 3:59 AM GMT. Let's take a peek into some of the boxes!

Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magic Obscura summons the spirit of Fallout into a unique world where steampunk meets fantasy in a creative mixture of imagination and pure isometric RPG awesomness. In Arcanum, you get the absolute freedom to create any kind of character you want and pursue whatever quest you find the most fitting. If you're looking for a game that will drain dozens of hours of your free time--here's your best pick!

Gabriel Knight, a tormented young writter, came to be a celebrity of the point-and-click adventure genre. The first game he stars in--subtitled "Sins of the Fathers"--features beautiful pixel-art graphics, over 7000 lines of fully-voiced dialogs, and a dark story balancing on the verge of madness and occult. The game launched a successful and recognizable series that earned its place in the adventure games' hall of fame. Be sure to check the other two games that complete the trillogy: Gabriel Knight2: The Beast Within and Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned.

Quest for Glory 1-5 is an amazing collection of Sierra's innovative action-RPGs. Each of the five games can be played as a whole but you can also treat the series as one big adventure, as the character and his accumulated wealth can carry on from one game into another. Become a mage, a thief, or a knight and explore the five huge worlds, each based on a different culture and mythology, from Germanic fairy tales, through Arabian and Slavic folklore, right down to Greek myths. Experience the game that set many standards in the "new school" of computer RPG.

Those excellent games are but a tip of the iceberg of Activision awesomeness. There are dozens of other fantastic titles you can grab 60% off, so head out to Activision Greats promo page and go nuts!

Pheace: I'd love to get me some city builders, but the pace in video's of Zeus etc always looks so high... makes me feel like the game would be rushing me. Is it a calm paced game?
You can adjust the speed from really, really slow to really fast and anywhere in between (same as Caesar 3 and Pharaoh + Cleopatra) , so you shouldn't have a problem with it. Btw.: It's a really good game:)
... damnit, GOG. You can't have sales for ALL the items on my wishlist in back-to-back-to-back weeks. Spread it out, just a little bit. Sheesh.

lukew: Can anyone tell me what they think of Call to Power 2 please? I'm kinda on the fence about that one.
I kept eyeing that one for a while, but ultimately I decided against a purchase. Even now. From the sounds of it it's all kinds of buggy, and if you happen to have a 64-bit OS it's also quite crash/freeze-happy. You'd be better off with Alpha Centauri if you want to play (the best) Civ-like game(s).
How is Torin's Passage regarding puzzles and difficulty?

Ok thanks. I think I'll pass on Call top Power 2 then. Also, I love Alpha Centauri. If the GOG version had the expansion, I would have bought ages ago. As it is though, I'll wait and hope that it gets the expansion. Unless of course, Alpha Centauri get's a promo lol.
Amazing promo to complete collections! :)

Now... Give us Larry!!!
Looks like I'll be picking up Quest for Glory. Already own everything else I may have been interested in.
Just got SWAT 3 gifted from pH7.

Now I can spend my entire weekend recuing hostages and playing mindtricks to those poor terrorists. ;)
Got Quest for Glory... yay. Only played one of them, 3 I think.
Just picked up the City-Builder games out of the list, as I already pounced on most the others I wanted over a year ago... Another half-dozen I'm so very tempted to pick up, but I doubt I'll ever get around to playing them...


... Still want them though...
Didn't own any of the games in this promo and had only played several of them but, having checked out a number of video reviews for the games I'm most interested in, I've now bought the Gabriel Knight trilogy, Arcanum, Quest for Glory, Betrayal at Krondor, Return to Krondor and Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption.

Yet there are more I'm interested in and tempted to buy. *sigh*

finished it as a 14-year-old with just basic English :)
I tried Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption a while back and was massively disappointed, that's one I'm not going anywhere near again.

Gabriel Knight on the other hand has interested me for a while, might as well get the three of them together along with Arcanum.

Really wanted to buy La Mulana as well and was just waiting for the weekend promo to see if something interested me and buy it all together. So that's another one I'm getting.

Thanks for the answer.
GOG! You bastards! Trying to drain my wallet two weeks in a row just is not cool...

...but these promos are super awesome...

Also, my wishlist is now a lot shorter than it was last week at this time...
