Get Fallout series, Descent series, MDK, Kingpin, Redneck Rampage and many, many more stunning Interplay classics 50% off!

This weekend, we get back to the basics with our [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/interplay_weekend_promo_041013]Entertaining Interplay Promo! Looking at this vast selection of classic titles one can't help but to ask: why are some of these still missing from my collection? Almost everything in this promo is a must-have for every classic PC-gaming enthusiast. Luckily you can grab everything you were missing with a 50% off discount this weekend. Let's take a look at some of the half-priced gems, shall we?

It's only $4.99 for each of the classic post-apocalyptic RPG, . That will leave you with enough bottle-caps to grab yourself a nuka-cola later. In the same price you can get the games from the [url=]Descent series. In this case, you should probably invest the money you save into some vertigo medicine. And speaking of vertigo, a game that starts off with a sequence of stratosphere free-fall and explodes into an orgy of bullets and badassery, MDK is available for only $2.99. Get into the action!

That's only a few of 34 Interplay games you can get 50% off this weekend. Make sure to navigate to the Promo Page, to see the whole robust selection. The promo lasts until Tuesday, October 8, at 9:59AM GMT.

tinyE: Sorry to keep posting in here, just one two more stupid questions: how is the save game feature for the two MDK titles and it Messiah worth a few bucks for the concept or is it really the huge pain I keep hearing about?
Buy all three now, or I'll kick you in the testicle .

teabow: I'll probably (finally) pick up Fallout 1 and 2 at this price.

Can someone remind me how much Interplay titles were discounted during the recent summer sale ?
They were 50% off as well, but Interplay made GOG pull the discount partway through the sale

blotunga: The lowest price they had was $2.99, but they were selling for $6 back then. Now they cost $10 by default :(. Should've bought them back then. But normally in time the prices of games go down not up :((
Which ones are you talking about ?

Laconic philosophers were always the best.

Vindici: Could someone elaborate on that? My spider sense is tingling.

blotunga: Well it's simple really. Because of a lawsuit and settlement :/. After 1.1.2014 Bethesda will own the rights to Fallout 1&2 and Tactics too. And have you seen any Bethesda titles around here?

Quote:
" Interplay, meanwhile, can continue to peddle its own post-apocalyptic wares in the form of Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics – but only until December 2013. "
More likely than not, they will remain available on Steam, but owning classics on Steam when they are available on GOG just feels dirty somehow (in a bad way :) ). I already repurchased Thief series and Deus Ex to have them DRM-Free, and would be willing to do so with Fallout too (I have the Steam versions). Not to mention Mac users get screwed unless Steam adds compatibility. Still, I just bought GTA V and Breaking Bad Complete Series Box Set within the last couple weeks so this poor sonuvabitch is gonna be waiting til the inevitable holiday sale.

I think all Interplay games were originally sold for $6, the price of a few titles was raised to $10 last Autumn or Winter right after that huge Interplay "Pay What You Want" sale (which was hardly PWYW but whatever).

I know that, I meant which ones he wanted to get.

Hmm, only Interplay game that I don't have is Subwar 2050. I guess I'll have to grab it.

It's strange, though. When I go to the game catalog and filter by Interplay games, Subwar is listed twice, see pic, but only when sorted by bestselling. Sorted any other way, the duplicate disappears.

Wait, I just took another look and Screamer 2, Earthworm Jim 3D, Die By the Sword, Conquest of the New World, VR Soccer, M.A.X. 1 & 2, and Evolva are there twice as well.

Now that I think about it, the order seems out of whack as well. I sincerely doubt Screamer 2 has outsold the Fallouts. I know we've had bestselling sorting issues in the past, but this is the first that I've seen where it created another instance of a game.

Okay, and playing around with it, I find that there are several games missing when sorted by bestselling, including Stonekeep. I guess the duplicates are replacing some of the missing games. There's some crazy witchcraft going on here!

Argh, I forgot about the impending loss of Fallout. Guess I better buy them, even though I've bought them in like three different forms already over the years.
