Lucasfilm strikes back.

January 27:
It's been a long weekend for Star Wars™ fans among us. Today marks the return of Lucasfilm on GOG.com: WAVE II, with the final batch of three Star Wars™ titles:

A 20% launch discount awaits those who join the fight against the dark side in the next 72-hours with three new releases:
Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
<i>Star Wars&trade;</i> Republic Commando
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Starfighter&trade;

As the Wave II timer ticks down to a zero for the last time, one of the most exciting weeks in the history of GOG.com comes to a close. We couldn't be happier with the series of amazing titles we added to our catalog this week, and we're proud to have teamed up with ©Disney Interactive to finally restore six iconic Star Wars™ games back into the hands of gamers exclusively on GOG.com.

January 22:
The time is now! Lucasfilm strikes back with three more Star Wars™ classics available now on GOG.com! This means the exclusive GOG.com digital premiere of two more spacefaring titles:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Rogue Squadron - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Rebellion - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Empire at War: Gold Pack is now also available for purchase, DRM-free with a 72-hour, 20% launch discount!

The timer is still ticking, so stay tuned for one more reveal from ©Disney Interactive and GOG.com!

January 20:
A long time ago in a galaxy near you, ©Disney Interactive and <B>GOG.com</B> teamed up to bring you the holy grail of classic gaming: six Lucasfilm cult-classics were added to our DRM-free catalog, including three titles which saw their digital premiere on GOG.com. We also made a promise to bring you many more cult-classics in the future and, believe us, we did not forget.

Today, with great pride and joy, we're excited to announce Wave II of Lucasfilm games on GOG.com! Starting right now, six new Star Wars™ classics are available in our DRM-free Lucasfilm/Disney catalog. This includes three amazing titles available, for the first time in digital distribution, exclusively on GOG.com:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade; - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

We're also celebrating the DRM-free release of these Star Wars™ games with a 72-hour 20% launch discount:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Battlefront&trade; II
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Dark Forces
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade; II: The Sith Lords&trade;

Just in case you missed your chance last time, you can grab three more Lucasfilm classics for the same 20% discount, until Friday, January 30, at 1:59 PM GMT!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade;
Indiana Jones&reg; and the Fate of Atlantis&trade;
The Secret of Monkey Island&trade;: Special Edition

Our Lucasfilm/Disney is made that much more impressive today thanks to our team-up with ©Disney Interactive. The 6 new Star Wars™ releases, which include 3 digital premieres exclusively on GOG.com, are barely the beginning. We're not saying more right now, but we know the wait will be worth it for six great reasons - keep watching the front page and stay tuned for more exciting Lucasfilm titles releasing on GOG.com when the timer strikes zero!

Okay, of X-wing and Tie-Fighter I had the original CD roms (both DOS and Win versions) so I kept procrastinating.

But X-wing vs Tie Fighter?
A pain to install on 64bit systems and costant cd swapping, I'll get it at once when I'll be able to load some money on my pre-paid card.

Because NDA, that's why :P

RadonGOG: What the heck? At least the edition sold in Germany clearly isn´t!
No mention of online connection necessary here.
No mention, either, for the second one.

I'm usually okay with being very poor, but this makes it hurt a bit.

Those two games, online activation? That's impossible.

Nooow, I just noticed that the LA games I bought had all sorts of different language versions included. Which is positively awesome!

Actually, that might get me to buy 'Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine', if it should be released here. It may be an utterly mediocre game that has aged terribly, but the German version was ace, since they got Harrison Ford's German voice actor to reprise his part.

ShadowOwl: Argh, I really wish I could buy the GOG release of X-Wing Alliance, but I gotta save money for my health insurance. :/ It's the game which originally brought me to PC gaming! :)
Buying & playing XWA is good for your mental health.

Well you could have still vaguely hinted at it ala enigmatic hints. ;)

Maybe... I just keep thinking back to the games I've played before and they felt a little lackluster... KotoR, Force Unleashed, Clone Wars heros... Yeah fun to a certain degree, but the Bioware's KotoR always felt a little... odd. Maybe it was the facial animations, or maybe it was the 3 predictable options everywhere in dialog... or something...

Although I loved the Clone Wars tv series until it was cut, the the movies although fun to watch never quite grabbed me. I don't know.

So the whole "release in batches of 6 games at a time and keep everything, especially release dates and game titles, a deep dark secret from the people whose money we want" is the official plan from the clever heads at the Disney marketing department? Good to know.

Well, not knowing that this was coming, I'm flat broke right now, so I won't be buying any of the games from this batch right now. Seeing how that means I'll miss the introductory discount, I probably won't be buying any of them in the near future either. Great marketing strategy. Good job getting my money, Disney. Well done.

No way, not with LA/Disney games. Sorry but those are too big for hints.

As far as I can tell, the German retail version uses a SecuRom disc check. No online activation. (I guess the list qualifies everything that doesn't require an internet connection to play as DRM-free.)

Maybe if they allowed it. Unfortunately there's quite a history with companies cutting ties and contracts when something was revealed that wasn't suppose to be, and then things going to shit.

Not telling anyone to keep the surprise alive is one thing... I hate NDA's.

He knows that. He did say this, though.
