Rugged Rogue Redux!

Jack Keane, an adventure game full of daring deeds, valiant ventures, and sinister schemes that you will take on with Jack's trademark roguish charm, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.99 for the first week!

Witness Jack's first grand adventure! Well, the first we have a record of, anyway. It's hard to say how his adventuring career actually started, as his past remains uncertain. It's suspected that he's an orphan and that he spent his early life on London's streets. He is no stranger to theft and mischief, but all who know him can attest that Jack's heart is in the right place and his soul is pure. How did he become a defender of the British Empire, a treasure hunter, and a famous traveler--nobody knows. Maybe this story can give us some answers?

Jack Keane is an adventure game full of movie-like qualities. We have a handsome protagonist who laughs in the face of danger while he saves the day and gets the girl. We have a beautiful heroine who, in turn, saves the hero. We have a gallery of villains plotting against our heroes' homeland, and a cast of supporting characters ready to deliver comedic relief. With colorful graphics, zany plot twists, and original story, Jack Keane is a worthy entry in any adventure fan's game collection!

High adventure calls as the British Empire calls upon its defender, Jack Keane. Witness it all for only $4.99 on GOG.com! The 50% discount offer lasts until Thursday, August 8, at 12:59PM GMT.

Licurg: But I want Blade of Destiny on GOG ! :((
Well, I think on this occasion we can be glad it was delayed. Think of all those poor fuckers over at Steam that pre-ordered it...

HA HA !
And those who bought the boxset in retail of course.
Well, ok...

I'm still waiting for something big after so many slow weeks, GOG...
why were people here hoping for Blade of Destiny HD? from what I've been reading it's pretty much the worst release of the year so far...
Well, good price I suppose. Now if Jack Keane 2 would drop by about 10 bucks. (How well does Nordic really expect it to sell at 30?)

As always, hoping GOG can bring more good old games in the coming weeks.

I'm starting to loose my hopes for that.

how long I can wait for Emperor: Rise of the middle kingdom or Desert Storm 2 or Theme Park World?
Although I would love to play this game, I think I will wait until GOG puts both 1 and 2 on sale together for a more reasonable price.

What's wrong with the Steam/retail releases? Game breaking bugs that may be patched out or shitty in general?
This game was DRM free and very cheap from play injector a while back...

I don't know how badly Legends launched (I keep hearing it was pretty bad, though) but Blade of Destiny HD seems to be stuck in its Alpha stage, and never mind the fact that the game looks worse than Morrowind...

Given how well Zeus and Pharaoh have sold here, I'm surprised Emperor isn't here. Theme Park World - perhaps tech problems? Apparently the original Theme Park isn't here because of resolution issues.

I'm trying to keep this in perspective, as we saw great releases from Jan. to May, we got Tzar and Settlers 4 two or three weeks ago, and last summer was a Summer of Indies too, but I am a bit saddened too. (And I expressed some of that here: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/do_you_think_gog_need_to_up_their_game/post45)

EDIT: I know that, to some people reading, this may come across as whining or acting like GOG owes me something. Thing is, we're willing to give GOG 5.99 or 9.99 for these good old games, so I think that's a little different than acting like I deserve free stuff.

But it's a DOSBox game and runs perfectly fine.
