GOG.com: Publisher Sale: Classic titles from Retroism up to 75% off
Man, I own the majority of these titles already - and (most of) the rest sits on my wishlist.
off topic

Capitalism 2 was published by Retroism on Steam and already received the v1.20 patch .

Is the Gog version abandoned ?
Aw, I was hoping for something new, I've already got everything from them, and I've finished nearly half their catalog.
What about new classic games like:
1-Alone inthe dark: (2008) from atari publisher
2- Dark (2013) from kalypso media publisher
3- Dark sector (2008) from aspurm publisher
4- Shank 1&2 from developer indie and pubisher klei entertainment

Its a shame Microprose has shunned GOG
I was thinking about getting Sword of the Samurai. Is it a micromanagement game or it's not too difficult?
(still waiting on the other Humongous games :P)

They certainly wouldn't be alone unfortunately.

RedRagan: I was thinking about getting Sword of the Samurai. Is it a micromanagement game or it's not too difficult?
No, it's not a micromanagement game. The game consists of multiple-choice interactive fiction scenes plus mini-games such as duels, sneaking into castles, and in the latter half of the game, war battles. There's multiple difficulty settings, and the game is not too long to complete. I was able to finish it without too much trouble when it first released here, on an easier difficulty setting.

The first 6 minutes of this video will give you a much better overview than the game page.

It has been a few years since I played it other than playing a bit now to refresh my memory. Not micromanagement at all, it is more along the lines of the Thea games or King of Dragon Pass but with 3-5 simple realtime minigames (keyboard or joystick controls that are a a bit awkward at times but simple). How much you enjoy it will mostly depend on how much you like the minigames since you play them over and over. Two of them are shown in the screenshots, the sword fighting and the army fighting and the other 1-3, depending on how you count, are variations on you fighting as a lone hero in different situations. You also walk around on a map and when you get somewhere some number of turns occur with various events that you get a brief summary of. There are three or four levels of the game total and I don't think I ever made it to the highest level much less won the game (however you can save when you are at your home but I rarely restored games, playing from the start again and I increased the game difficulty as I got better). It was one of my first purchases on GOG (I didn't play it growing up or anything) and I've come back to it a few times, I enjoy the slow pace.

Interesting, I will think it through. The minigame is interesting but it look like it simplified due to DOS game limitation
