FPS Immortals are here.

Quake II: Quad Damage, Quake III: Gold, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny - are available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. You can pick them up at 33% off in two bundles:
<span class="bold">Quake Damage</span> & <span class="bold">Return to Wolfenstein</span>.





Wolfenstein 3D (with Spear of Destiny) is widely considered to be the first true 3D FPS ever. It single handedly kickstarted a generation of id Software greats, and thus influenced just about every FPS we've played ever since. Its mazes, shades of gray, and blue hues are burned into the collective gaming memory - plus you get to kill a mechanized Hitler. Classic.
In the early days of FPS gaming, Quake II: Quad Damage was the milestone. In a spot-on review from 1997, GameSpot calls it "the only first-person shooter to render the original Quake entirely obsolete." It was bigger, better, prettier, and smoother than any clone or predecessor - it also offered one of the most playable, and by far most popular multiplayer experiences of its day.
Quake III: Gold, aka. multiplayer revolution. Despite a controversial removal of the lauded single-player experience the series was known for, Quake III: Arena became a smash-hit and (together with Unreal Tournament) essentially defined arena-style, movement-based competitive gaming for years. The shooter spawned a community that's been living and breathing to this day.
In B.J. Blazkowicz's Return to Castle Wolfenstein, another legend is born. A unique, objective-based multiplayer mode saw immense popularity back in the day - and it was actually pretty okay if you're into that sort of thing. The single-player campaign is a dark, somewhat ridiculous freak show of morbid, scientific fantasy. An ever present sense of dread emanates from the disturbing experiments and cult-like universe, just waiting to be set afire - by you.


As with any Bethesda purchase, you'll also get The Elder Scrolls: Arena & Daggerfall for free!

The four titles released today are not available for purchase in Germany. These are legal restrictions that are beyond our control, and we're very sorry for the inconvenience.

Maxvorstadt: I can somehow understand that the Wolfenstein games are locked, because of stupid german laws, but why are the Quake games locked?
I'm not German, nor in Germany, but I'd like to know as well.

ed: and the question below too. \/

JudasIscariot: Unfortunately, they are :(
What about the gift codes ? Are they redeemable on a german account ?

InfraSuperman: That one is available.
Then I really wonder what prompted the locking of the second and third one, but not the first one...
Quake 2/3 are on the german Index

That rating is 15 years old (in case of 3) and Bethesda should try to appeal it. It worked for the first Quake iirc.

I've never heard of Wolfenstein being regarded as the first 'true 3D' FPS.
Nice to have the games here though, although 33% off isn't enough to make them a feasible purchase for me.
Can Germans buy Quake 2 and 3 on Steam? Or is it just GOG that's blocking it?
It seems that Quake 2 and 3 are still on the Index, thanks BPJM.

The original Quake is no longer on the Index around here, Quake 2, Quake 3 and the uncensored version of Quake 4 still are.
This is a joke, right. Not available in Germany.

Even when I cannot see the games, great release. :(

Sorry I had to. =P
Quick question about Quake 3. Will there ever be a Linux version? As there IS a retail version dedicated for that system.

Nergal01: If Doom 3 gets released, German customers won't get RoE.
Bizarrely, the Doom 3 BFG edition includes the Resurrection of Evil expansion and is freely available in Germany.
Do Quake 2 and 3 require the same crap with mounting an iso to have any music?
Why is Quake III 20$ ???
