GOG.com and Interplay Level up!

GOG.com has been in talks with our good friends at Interplay, and we’re pleased to be able to say that we have good news! Not only are we adding four classic games from their catalog to GOG.com in the near future, but we’re also going to give you another chance to [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/interplay_price_change_promo_09_11_12]save big on the games we already have for the next week!

Every silver lining has a cloud, though, and the reason that we’re putting the games on sale again is because we’re raising the prices on some of the Interplay games on the 16th of November as part of our new deal with Interplay. As such, games such as Fallout, MDK, Redneck Rampage and others may never be as cheap on GOG.com as they will be this next week. If you’ve been hesitating to pull the trigger on any classic Interplay games, now’s your last chance to buy and save big!

What are the new games that we’re adding to the Interplay collection? Well, if you know GOG.com, you know what we don’t like to give away that kind of news early, but if you’re paying attention on our website--or on any of our social media channels like , [url=http://www.facebook.com/gogcom]Facebook, , [url=http://www.youtube.com/gogcom]Google+ or even just your email inbox, you’ll be sure to find out.

So pick up our last huzzay of Interplay games at $2.99 this week, and let us know in the comments below what classic Interplay games you’re hoping will show up on GOG.com early next year--or perhaps even sooner!

Wasn't there an Interplay promo very recently? I seem to have bought a whole bunch of their games on just a couple of weeks ago, on Oct 24 (all that I didn't already have from earlier).

EDIT: Oh, right, that was the "PWYW" promo that got so many complaints. I guess I have a gift code somewhere for a lot of them games then.

Sacrifice isn't like other RTS games. It's basically like an action game, but one where your character (wizard) can build building, summon units and collect souls. Don't compare it to "regular" strategy games, because it has nothing to do with them.

This is great news apart from the price increase of some games. I was one of the people who were not too thrilled by the Interplay PYWYW, so I am twice as happy to see this promo.

Well from reading the promo description I would pick up Fallout, MDK and Redneck Rampage if you want them.

I believe there are HD versions of MDK and the fallout are games have a limited sale cycle. I bought the second tier PWYW promo so I am just picking up the games I wanted on the thrid tier.

Most likely I will pick up everything apart from Sacrifice

Duskwolf: Does Sacrifice still have problems running on Win 7 64 bit?
Works fine for me so either they are fixed or only for certain people

Fuzzyfireball: Okay, once again, Interplay owns the classic Fallouts until DECEMBER 2013.

ZeniMax will pay Interplay $2 million as part of the settlement and each party will pay their own legal costs. However, Interplay can continue to sell the original Fallout Tactics, Fallout, and Fallout 2 PC games and merchandise through December 2013. After that time, the rights to those titles become property of Bethesda.

https://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/01/09/bethesda-settles-lawsuit-over-fallout-license.aspx

Finally, Interplay's rights to sell Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics will expire in December 2013, along with any other merchandising rights it had in association with those properties.

etc etc, stop spreading FUD.

Roman5: Alright then, thanks for clearing that up
Do you know what might happen when Bethesda gets the rights? Could they take away the titles from GOG? Should I be storing the games somewhere just in case?

A strategy game where you directly control the leader on the field, sounds a lot like Brutal Legend, a game I paid full price for and still couldn't be bothered to finish.

I have no idea why you think that's a good game, but it's certainly different enough from Sacrifice to make a comparison useless.
