pimpmonkey2382: the newer version of the bard's tale on steam (I know this doesn't really count as it's the newer one, but I got it for the older ones, and it was free. lol.)
Depending what counts ---

I purchased Stonekeep & Kyrandia in the sales. I don't expect to love Stonekeep but it might be interesting.
If you mean truly oldschool, I purchased the Lords of Midnight a few days before that.

Those were all sales inspired. Before that I purchased The Bard's Tale, like you, for the old games. But for a variety of odd reasons I ended up playing the c64 versions instead -- downloaded... naughtily. (Ironically I bought them in the 80s so that's kind of the opposite to your question.)

Juhius: Betrayal at krondor and first Gabriel Knight from the weekend sale.
Gabriel Knight is ok but typically hard sierra adventure, still never played krondor

pimpmonkey2382: I never got to play krondor until gog. I owned it but my pc at the time wouldn't run it.
I borrowed that from a friend in 94 or so, and got really frustrated because I didn't understand the poisoned food. I should get around to playing it for reals soon.

(edit: typos)

I couldn't get it to start up, but got the krondor pack gifted to me from here a while back, love that game.

Zeus: Poseidon (Acropolis) from the latest weekend sale

Got it because it's supposed to be better than Caesar 3, which I got in the holiday sale

Wasteland. By the time I get around to playing it, we'll be bitching about compatibility problems with Windows 97.

Free Fallout 2 and 3 from GOG (already had them boxed) and Age of Wonders, Shadow Magic. Battle Realms was my most recent purchase, but I'm not sure it fits the 'old school' tag.
