Hopefully you have managed to refill your "gaming change bank" to take advantage of our next round of incredible deals.

Starting from tomorrow we'll be offering special one-day promos on some of GOG.com's "hidden" gems. These quick promos will be made in a similar way to our usual "GOG.com Gems Promo" that we've been running for some time now. Just like the Wednesday promos, we're going to highlight some of the lesser known classics in our catalogue. With this newspost we're giving you a heads-up that you should check back GOG.com every day until 25th of July. We'll be offering all of the hidden gems of this promo for sale at 60% off, so keep your eyes peeled so you don't miss out on a great deal for a game you've been waiting to buy for months. The first "Summer Hidden Gem" will be revealed tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. EDT (10:00 a.m. GMT)! Be there or be square! ;)
So it's going to start today at 10 GMT? Awesome. :D
Between this and steam sales. My wallet will not exist anymore.
Doh... I hadn't even finished the fallout 1 that i bought 2 weeks before (i think it was two weeks).
My entirely uneducated guess at the 18 games ahead of us [only 3.5-star, 4-star or 4.5-star games, excluding very new ones; some I already own, some on my wishlist]:
- Outcast
- one of the King's Quest
- Duke Nukem 3D
- one of the Oddworld
- Neverwinter Nights
- one of the Might & Magic
- Battle Isle
- Guilty Gear
- one of the Alone in the Dark
- one of the Gabriel Knight
- one of the Icewind Dale
- Desperados
- one of the Alien Shooter
- XIII
- Frredom Force vs. Third Reich
- Arx Fatalis
- Dragonshard
- Demon Stone
Not very many games I want from the catalog but I will pick up Baldur's Gate 2 if it goes on sale (already bought it twice).

I have a feeling a family member is getting the Longest Journey as a gift if it goes on sale soon enough though.
I doubt I'll pick up much of these after all the Interplay games I grabbed from the last sale. But I won't surprised if a few really tempt me. XD
I bought nothing on the Interplay sale (as I already had the games I was interested in). I am hoping some of my Wishlist items will turn up in the Hidden Gems promo.

D3D, Alone in the Dark, Nwn, King's Quest, Icewindale, XIII... these may be gems, but not really hidden gems. I think that GoG will promote games that are not great grang games, but rather less famous games

Good point! UK time <> GMT time!
I'm looking forward to this - all the regular hidden gem promos have been good, though there's only been one or two that I didn't already have.

Barely 7-8 of them can be considered hidden gems...
"Starting from tomorrow..."

Well, this is very disappointing definition if there isn't any post date. Is possible to date the GOG news/contributions? It would be great... Fortunately, I am in right place at the right time. :)
