Master of Orion series, Silver, Outcast, Rollercoaster Tycoon series, and more Atari All-Stars 60% off

Accelerate into amazement, astonishment, and astoundment as the abundant amassment of authentic Atari awesomeness arrives! Our new [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/atari_weekend_promo/]Atari All-Stars weekend promo offers you with an incredible selection of 26 Atari games and you can get each and every one of them 60 (yes: s-i-x-t-y!) percent off. Whatever your taste in games might be, you're sure to find something new (or old) and exciting for yourself. We've got space strategies, tales of the Wild West, lovecraftian survival adventures, ultra-violent shooters, theme park sims, medieval RPGs, nautical adventures, and more. So much more. Let's look at some of the games from this supreme selection to give you a better idea of what kind of a promo you're dealing with here. Shall we begin with something otherworldly?

Master of Orion 1+2 series is a paragon of sci-fi managerial strategy. Lead your race towards galactic domination in a universe full of opportunity. Those games are so complex and satisfying, that you could easily play them for years.

Silver is a colorful RPG that looks like a fairy tale and plays a lot like one of Final Fantasy games. It was, however, developed in Europe so its setting, aesthetics, and storytelling are something completely different than what you would've expected to see in a jRPG.

Outcast is an incredible adventure in a open-ended sci-fi world. The game uses the retro-futuristic technology of voxel graphics to represent one of the biggest and most imaginative gameworlds ever to grace computer screens. Check out this unique gem that really came ahead of its times.

Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe lets you create and manage the amusement park of your dreams. Design the rides, set the prices, draw in visitors, and let the profitable fun begin! Be sure to check out the sequel, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, and the feature-filled Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum! for even more theme park building pleasure.

Before you rush off to the [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/atari_weekend_promo/]promo page, there are two more things that we'd like to tell you. We'll be adding some new extras and bonuses to our Atari games today. As usual, we have some of our amazing community members to thank for providing us with this content. Our gratitude goes to users: jeremiahh, SpooferJahk, and Daedolon (the man behind The Postmortem, the biggest community website). Remember to check inside your virtual boxes of [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/alone_in_the_dark]Alone in the Dark 1+2+3, , [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/master_of_magic]Master of Magic, and Blood. This also gives you a great opportunity to check out a new GOG.com site functionality. Your games' shelf now comes with a new sorting option, so you can easily find new and recently updated games in your collection. How to use it? Consult the screenshot hovering around this paragraph--it's pretty much self-explanatory (just click to enlarge it).

Stooner: I'm afraid that the only RPGs in this promo is Silver and Darklands...
I can recommend Silver, as an nice little A-RPG (a light one), Darklands i never played...

Also, i know, you not into strategy, but you could try Desperados... A great and fun Commandos clone! ;p

NightStrider: I have the commands stuff, but alas, I didn't like them. I was thinking about outcast though
Outcast is a weird game, there's a chance you'll either love it or hate it. I say buy Silver and Outcast.


EDIT: Oh, and Blood :)

Just bought them. Thanks
When I read "Atari All Stars" I thought meh, but then I saw the titles and was very pleasantly surprised. So many classics. My wallet has just been battered by torchlight 2 and borderlands 2 though. I'll see what I can do!

Endzville: [...]
Question though: how is Darklands[...]?
It is a quite complex, hard-core RPG with no experience levels or skill points set in late medieval Germany, which is remarkable for its high reality factor - there are no magic uber-weapons, you mostly use what the people of the age used, with some alchemical potions added into the fray. The only deviation from reality is that products of the medieval folklore DO exist, so you can encounter demons and dragons.
You also have a wide variety of options to do, either in the cities or outside of them, so it's not killing bandits and grinding all the time.
60% off? Nice.

Endzville: Wow, another great promo. Think I'll be picking up Outcast, Alone In The Dark 1, 2 & 3 and Masters of Orion 1 & 2 at the very least.

Question though: how is Darklands and Star Control 1 & 2?

The latter looks good but I don't know if there's a particular point in getting it when Masters of Orion seems fairly similar. Darklands is what I'm more concerned about though. Is it true that it has a fairly steep learning curve?

kalirion: MoO and SC are very different series. Like the difference between Civilization and Age of Empires maybe? Or maybe even more different. The only reason you may not get SC1&2 is because there is an enhanced free remake of SC2 out there.
O rly? Hm, might check that out instead if it's the case, although I'll still consider it here given GOG's great bonus items.

Kind of sounds interesting actually. Will scour the internet and come to a full decision but, thanks, that's made me quite inclined to pick it up despite my hesitation.
GOG is evil. It's almost impossible not to get something from this promo.
Darklands, Alone in the Dark 1+2+3 and Colonization are looking to me...
I was a bit surprised it's a 60% sale. I have pretty much everything I want from that list, but I'm debating whether to snap up Darklands.

I heartily recommend:
MoO 1+2 (#2 is still the best 4x space game)
Master of Magic
RCT2 & RCT3 (different enough from each other that both may warrant a purchase)
Blood (very fun and quite challenging shooter)
Star Control 1+2
Locomotion (it has its detractors but I find the game to be thoroughly enjoyable)
Pirates! Gold
Colonization (if you can stomach a lot of micromanagement)
Outcast
People who are not recommending Desperado are WRONG.
Finally, a sale on Colonization. Bought.
Great promo. Is Desperados 2 worth it? I liked the first Desperados, but people seem to agree that the second one is not as good.
avatar
Telika: People who are not recommending Desperado are WRONG.
Agreed! Is the Second one good too?
New and Updated.... lasts only as long as you view the page ONCE? Geez, thanks... I guess.

I clicked on the New & Updated to see what was new, surfed away to another page, came back and now... the "new and updated" option is gone!

Oh, and... the "updated" flag is also gone from all the updated games. Why can't this flag stick around until I actually update/download the changes?

I already had Outcast and RCT2 from GOG and have RCT1+expansions on disc, so I got:

Alone in the Dark 1+2+3
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare
Darklands
Silver

Awesome promo!
What are the top 3 must-haves from this promo?

I'd say:

Master of Orion 1+2
Alone in the Dark 1+2+3
Blood
