Lucky you. It's $6.18 over here. Because we're so very rich, you know, and this applies even to games almost 30 years old...

Actually, if you haven't noticed, many of your posts everywhere all the time get downrepped because you type annoying, incomprehensible gibberish. It had nothing to do with any purported content of your posting, because no one could understand it.

Was just about to make a similar post. The name seemed so familiar! But this game looks pretty interesting as well.

I'd say that if the game was from the VGA era and originated on the PC, then the PC version was usually better. For instance:

Wing Commander (1990)
Red Baron (1990)
Sierra and Dynamix VGA adventures
Monkey Island 1-2
Gunboat (1990)
etc.

I generally draw the line to the PC version having VGA graphics and sound card support (preferably Roland MT-32). If it is EGA/CGA graphics and no sound card support, I'd much rather play the Amiga version, even if the game originated on PC. This mostly means 1989 and earlier games.

Then there are of course those Amiga/Atari ST-originated games which were later ported to PC, they were mostly better on Amiga even if they were made after 1990.

Anyway, Drakkhen PC version is probably ok, as it has VGA and Adlib sound card support. Not sure how the Amiga version is, I presume it has better music and sound effects.

It's not the exact same product though. GoG's version is objectively superior. Not only do you have support for Mac and Linux - you also get the extras on GoG, some of which are required to complete the game. You get the game cheap on Steam but what you get is an incomplete version which you have to put effort into fixing (getting the correct manuals and such). Maybe not much effort for some but still more than what is required for the GoG version.

Regional pricing on a game from 1989, ffs.

Except that it's 100% DRM-free... GOG>steam/CDPR>valve I'll gladly pass up the bundle, as it's not worth it due to it being on steam!

For a game from 1989 this looks quite good, better than some games from the last few years. ;P

*checks age of game, notices regional price-hike*

I see we're back to business as usual.

Apparently they're DRM-free on Steam too? Either way, I'd have to agree with some others here that, unless you're a hardcore fan of this particular game, the price point is ridiculous when compared to the Steam versions. Why exactly is it so much more expensive here, anyhow? Unless I'm mistaken, this is exactly the same game as on Steam, and didn't require any extra work to make it run. And while the extras are nice, I'm sure you could find most of it yourself somewhere on the interwebs.

On top of that, just recently they had that sale of Daedalic games, after they were offered much cheaper on Humble ( DRM-free versions included ). At this rate, they should consider changing their business slogan to "GOG -- Pay more, for less!".

For a very brief moment I thought it was Drakan

I don't really understand why you say gog is steam. For me the key is DRM, I hope to never be forced to buy something that is subject to DRM or requires me to be online and gog allows me to do that. I've never used gog galaxy so I haven't notice any change over the years (admittedly I have only been here since 2011 so maybe it was different before then).

In what way is gog steam?

I would be devastated if this wasn't said just prior to releasing this game here.

This is as far as I got into reading your post, before I realized not only who posted it, but also that I'll be skipping it. I'm just not willing to decipher your mock writing, in the hope that you might actually have a point to make. In fact if it wasn't for mqstout's reply I wouldn't have even realized what your post was about.
