The Spring Site Update brought the new downloader, private messaging, various improvements to the overall GOG.com experience, and now we give all our users a free game!

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/dragonsphere]Dragonsphere - as that's another free game in our catalogue - is a classic point-and-click adventure game by MicroProse. Twenty years ago, your father King Of Gran Callahach, has imprisoned the evil sorcerer Sanwe in a Dragonsphere. Now the spell is waning, and you as the new king in your first and the most important quest have to stop Sanwe from taking his revenge. The story seems very typical - you as a hero have to save the world once again - but you cannot be more wrong about it as that's just the beginning. Discover what the real plot is all about traveling through beautifully drawn locations and solving challenging yet clever puzzles. Set yourself for a great journey, after all it's totally free on GOG.com!

You all know that the reason they give away these games for free is because they can't put them in a compilation and charge $5.99 for them, right? That, and since they're only a few megs anyways I'm sure the bandwith costs are minimal. Nonetheless, free stuff is always good.

TheEnigmaticT: Well, we do only support Windows. Officially, I mean. Sorry to leave ya out in the cold.
I believe my question in the other thread was not answered. Can we still use the old (Adobe AIR) downloader if we are so inclined to (and never had problems with it)?

And why is that they can't put Dragonsphere in a compilation?

I'm sure they could make a compilation of Dragonsphere, Return of the Phantom and Rex Nebular. To be honest, I'd consider paying 5,99$ for Dragonsphere alone.

The links to add games to the old downloader are gone. If you find a way to add games anyway, try it and see what happens. Personally, I would migrate to the JGOG Downloader if I used a non-Windows system for downloading.

deonast: Oh windows only, that's not so good. I have a linux machine I run at night for downloads (my internet quota is more generous at night) so a windows only downloader is going to stop that. I don't run my windows machine at night as it chews a lot more power than my little linux appliance. I think I'll share your pain. I did want the game though.

EDIT: it might be more accurate to call them cross-platform.
Ah, very cool I'll check those out, thanks
