Your planetary dominion begins here.

Deadlock: Planetary Conquest and Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars, two excellent Sci-Fi turn-based strategy games that will allow you to explore the planet, expand your influence, exploit the resources under your control, and exterminate the foes of your empire, are available for $5.99 each, on GOG.com. This week only, you'll receive a 33% off discount when getting both of them. That's only $7.98 for the set of two!

[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/deadlock_stacking_launch_promo_280114][/url]Beneath you floats magnificent, untamed Gallius IV, a terran world newly discovered in this disputed part of the galaxy. Your colony ship is ready, equipped with all the basics you need to settle this planet. The select group of colonists orbiting with you are prepared both to build a strong colony and to defend it to the last stone. Other ships are also scanning the planet's surface, choosing the landing site for their colony. All past allegiances have been cast aside in the fever for this world. So begins Deadlock: Planetary Conquest, an intense turn-based strategic simulation. Seven races colonize a virgin planet, but only one will survive. Build your province’s structures. Conduct research to advance your race. Devise the perfect strategy of diplomacy, intimidation and warfare. Every decision you make will determine the ultimate fate of your people, your empire, and your survival.

Discovered, in the aftermath of the Gallius IV war, ancient and mysterious Shrines have revealed the location of an extinct alien home world. These Shrines unlock the most powerful technology in the Universe. Now, seven interstellar empires race across the galaxy to conquer this one planet and gain the secret power of the ancient civilization. That's the premise of Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars another exciting game of strategy, resource management and military conquest in the series. Each race fighting to dominate the planet has its own strengths and weaknesses - learn to exploit them to your advantage. Build, trade, research, attack, as you search for the ancient knowledge that will grant you ultimate control over the entire Universe.

Don't miss your chance to get the complete Deadlock series with 33% off discount. Deadlock: Planetary Conquest and Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars can be yours for only $7.98. Better hurry, because the offer lasts only until Tuesday, February 4, at 10:59AM GMT.

Sargon: These games look awesome! Even though I have bought most games with a discount of 50% or higher (since 50% became the lowest normal discount) I'm very tempted to buy these right away. Deadlock 2 looks like the one with the best gameplay and best esthetics, but the Windows 3.1\Windows 95 look of the first one made me nostalgic! Maybe I will play that one first an then learn and appreciate the upgraded Deadlock 2. Even though DOS games dominated in those days, there were some cool games using the Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 interfaces. Mordor and MindMaze at least, I'm sure there were some more.

JinseiNGC224: Or, is the Windows 8 version coming for the sequel sooner than later? Maybe you couldn't get it out today but maybe later?

Sargon: There is always the possibility to install Windows XP (if you have a currently unused copy lying around ) on another partition and make a dual-boot system. But you should read up on it first. There could also be a problem with installing an older Windows OS after you have installed an newer one (instead of the other way around).
WIndows XP still works with current hardware and gives you less hiccups with some old games than the newer Windows versions do. You could also install Virtual Box which is free. The you could install Windows XP or an older OS and see if the game in question worked under the virtual system. (This is far from guaranteed, as many games don't work or have problems running on virtual systems.)
If you are at all considering buying it, I would definitely recommend it; it's like SimCity meets Master of Orion. I never did play Deadlock 2, but now is my chance.
Oh hell yes. I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Wow! This is THAT game that I thought I'd never see on GOG! I remember only having the demo for this game on my PowerMac way back when, and now I can play it again! Thanks for getting these!

you using "defiled" as the other option for virgin made me laugh. that's harsh. getting your swerve on is perfectly healthy and normal...well...in most cases. ;)

MoP: Also, yay for release-day-promos on classics!
Yep! If nothing interesting jumps on weekend promo (and sadly it very likely concerning my wishlist was badly decimated over all these years) - I'll have an alternative.

I wonder if wishing for another Microprose title (some flight sim perhaps) on Thursday is too much ? :-D

Ah, those were the days! I forget where I scored that big pile of MacAddict CDs, but oh the fun I had rummaging through them! Great times. Bonkheads Deluxe, Power Pete, Lunar Commando, all the Ambrosia titles...

*sigh!*

There are the only options? Oh, you generous soul...

ABH20: Holy crap I forgot about this game.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Exactly saw, these today and got excited. I had completely forgotten about them, only played the first one on a demo and really enjoyed it back on it's original release, will definitely have to pick these up and give them a spin.
Great news, thank you.
One of the best good old game for me.

amok: Congratulations, you managed to release some games I have actually never heard abut before :)

TBS is generally not my cup of tea, but it looks a bit interesting. Is it more in the realms of Civilization than base building-and-spam-your-enemies?
It's much more like Civilization.
Man, these games look pretty good. For some reason my first reaction seeing this news"Deadlock" sounds like a new game release, like a tower defense game or something, but 1996/8 they are, not sure why I've never heard of them before. And those graphics are very Civ 2-like.

Well done GOG, hopefully this current sale doesn't cancel out game releases tomorrow.
Man, this was a very obscure game I bought when I was out on CD. I waited years to try to play it, and when I finally did, it wouldn't run at all. So I wondered what it's like.

I've never seen any reference to it in over a decade, and now it's here.

I got it, I finally get to play it.
I have a disk image i made from my ORIGINAL disk way back in the day for Deadlock (not DL2). it STILL plays on Win 7 by using the ' /p ' option (for pallet). Still play it every once in a while.

mkell_226: It's much more like Civilization.
As I see it not quite. It is province based not city based. Still a solid game but because of weak ai not on par with the like of Alpha Centauri.
