PaterAlf: snipt
and the game became "abandonware".
OK, so I could still download it without fear of consequences....not that I would do it.
Germany was spammed with those "funny" sims....
I sill remember the best of all Hotel from Ariolasoft. I could put some hundret beds/TV....into one room and the game didn't complain.
Or Hanse....for the C-64. This game was available for datasette.....I've driven the seller mad because I tried at last 5 different times (with different copies) to download the game....Than he gave me the PC version!!!!

Hanse was great. Also Fugger, Kaiser and Vermeer. Good old times! ;)

Just noticed Tunnel B1. I wonder when Throwback is going to pay Disney so Zoom can sell Alien Trilogy again.

Nice to finally see Tunnel B1 on GOG! Is there an option to adjust the camera level in the game?
Posted April 29, 2022
loved the demo level of re-volt, the rest not so much, but added it to my wishlist for nostalgic reasons. looking forward to other oldies, hopefully something worth buying immediately.

Good sale but nothing for me . =(

Doc0075: I remember getting Bombuzal on a cover disk with either issue 1 or 2 of Amiga Power back in the day, it is great fun and a steal at that price.
I assume that the PC version is the same as the Amiga one only with inferior sound?

Schnuff: I just made a ticket for a refund of the game.
It is the sadly bad dosbox version of the game.
The Amiga version was very good....this one...forget it!
It lacks the music of the Amiga version and the sound effects are typically naff but otherwise it is near enough the same game and still a lot of fun.

"We wanted to give Good Old Games a special place of their own, so together with this event, we’re also premiering a new webpage, devoted entirely to classic games to make our selection of titles easier to browse and discover. "

Okay. let's just assume that you not just added a banner to a certain selection of tags that were available since the last update anyway (aand therefore something each use could have "created" by themselves as well): how exactly do one access this site directly from the main menu (so without having to add a bookmark) here on GOG? If this is possible and I am just too dumb to figure this out, this actually is a good addition, I'd say.

Anyway: Congrats on bringing Re-Volt back.

Its not even just Good Old Games the OP link uses the Classic tag as well which seems to be used across a few newer titles as well. For example El Hijo - A Wild West Tale seems to be included and its on sale despite it not really being a Good Old Game only being released in December 2020. (its been tagged as Classic.) It doesn't even have the tag Good Old Game.

If you want a link to just Good Old Games here (The link will only show things tagged Good Old Games, discounted and also will hide owned and DLCs, feel free to customize it via left hand panel.)

Most of the interesting titles I already have or doesn't have attractive discount yet (still waiting for a better discount for Diablo 1 and Warcraft 1 + 2...).

And talking about Good Old Games hope we can see more titles from Microprose in the future like the F-15 series...

I'm not missing the opportunity this time. Re-Volt is mine!

Oh, Vermeer with all those little pictures of his paintings....never finished it (-:
But if we talk about Good old Sims...than never forget: Ports of Call.
I played this with some friends (Amiga) with the addition of a table top game: Börse.

I love how the 'May the Fourth' sale seems to get longer every year ;D Anyway I'm definitely intrigued by Deadly Dozen Reloaded, as I've read that it's quite similar to Hidden & Dangerous. However, that is one heck of a steep price for a remaster of a game first released in 2001. I realise it costs money to upgrade the graphics etc., but still...

UCrest: The description of Deadly Dozen Reloaded in the 10% discount section is misspelled.

Thanks for the classics, GOG! It's good to see Re-Volt back in the GOG catalogue.
Wondering how Deadly Dozen Reloaded plays? $29 USD seems a little steep but still interested...

I looked everywhere for a review, but no one... not even a little YouTuber... has one up (yet). That would seem to mean review copies didn't go out. Review copies not going out would seem to mean... ^sigh*

Hope a review comes out soon. This remake has definitely caught my interest.

But what I really want is Hidden & Dangerous 3!

Anyway, the other night found all of my boxed copies of the Indiana Jones games on floppies. Maybe it's time to re-buy those classics and give 'em a go again?

Can you configure Tunnel B1 to SVGA (800 x 600) or higher?
