WTF. Just...wtf...
First, I buy a joystick. Then, I buy this.
Go you, GOG!

From what I remember reading on the Freespace wiki and on the HLP forums, the EULA people saw upon launching the installer had the non-commercial copying clause in it; this is what most people saw as a sign that it was perfectly legal to "pirate" Freespace 2. The problem is that the installed copy of the game itself came with another version of the EULA which had that clause removed. So for all intents and purposes, Freespace 2 was never really freeware.

One I got at retail (in a multi games pack) that I LOVE is Airfix Dogfighter. Man, I wish more knew about it.

I'd pay 9.99 for IL-2 Sturmovik (and I did), but RB2? Not really.
Not when I already have IL2, and the already free RB.
9.99 is a little steep for a sequel.
I basically see this as a 5.99 game that they wanted 9.99 for, so they tacked on the original to raise the value.
Only problem is, since the original is free, that does not really raise the value.
I'll keep an eye out for a sale.

Nice addition. I remember playing this back when. I remember being pretty bad at it too. :D
Also, the addition of these Dynamix titles makes me hopeful for my most desired game here.

Sorry to be the burster of bubbles but mad otter games are the guys that own the rights to red baron now not dynamix.

I'm also going to assume that they have found the source code for their games if they are up on gog now.

Perhaps it would have been met with more universal approval if the first game had been made freely available as a separate entity. That may have even increased the sequel's sales.
Not that I have a problem with it as it is. It's up to the customer to decide whether it's worth it to them.

Does that mean the freeware Red Baron I may or may not have is automatically illegal, and I will now be sued?

MadOtter didn't publish the Incredible Machine games; that was Push Button, and they are the first titles for those publishers here. And of course, Sierra published Betrayal at Krondor, but it is still closer than it was if Dynamix games are starting to show up. However remote the possibility, my bubble remains unburst.

It seems that Vivendi has been selling out a lot of old Sierra-IPs (we've already seen that Rebellion bought a few of them), so who knows what happened to Krondor. But remember that Krondor is based on a licensed property in the first place. Might not be as straight forward as with some of these other games.
Anyway, nice to see the Red Baron games here. Though like others here, I'll probably wait for a promo. I'm not saying this pack isn't worth the asking price (and given that Mad Otter Games probably paid good money for the rights, I understand why they might need the money), but as I'm mainly interested in this pack due to being curious about a classic I've never played, I'm not sure if _I'll_ get $9.99 worth of fun out of it. Selling it at $5.99 would have placed it in the "instant impulse buy" category.

Awasome, for long I wasn't sure for which game exchange contest promo code, now I found it. Great games and best WW I simulators ever !!

Yes, you're right! I DIDN'T SEE this coming! Wow, unbelievable! I've got the Red Baron 2 box, which is beautiful. But I might give this one a download. But I've got plenty of other games that I'd bought from you, and to enjoy playing. I love your website! Mwah!

Red Baron 1 is more of a historical piece that anything else; however, it's amazing to fire it up and see how much Damon Slye and the Dynamix lads got right ... in 1990. There's design decisions in there that current sim producers (all three of them) seem to have forgotten, to their detriment.
Red Baron 3D is more like it. It's not going to look pretty, but there is one hell of an amazing campaign engine inside of it.
For folks looking for more "modern" action, RB3D's spiritual successor is at [url=]www.overflandersfields.com[/url]. Most of the big RB3D modders seem to have ended up here, and I can personally attest to OFF's quality.
