Get Master of Orion 1-3, Alone in the Dark 1-4, KKND 1&2, and more endangered Atari classics 65% off!

Out of all gaming industry brands in existence, Atari always was one of the most recognizable and respectable. For over 40 years the name has became inseparably associated with unpretentious gaming fun. The amount of progress a single company can bring to an industry is simply astounding. From game cabinets to home consoles, from 8-bit classics to recent blockbusters, from engineering to publishing--the company was always in the center of it. It's unlikely there are many gamers who weren't saddened by the news of company's trouble. Whatever happens now, we should hope that it will emerge victorious once the dust settles, as it did numerous times before. Gaming legends are forever, so today all there's left to say is: [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/atari_weekend_promo_120713]Thank you, Atari!

The entire Atari catalog on GOG.com is available 65% off. We're talking landmark titles like Master of Orion 1+2, Alone in the Dark 1+2+3, Total Annihilation: Commander Pack, Star Controll 1+2, and , among many others. Head out to the [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/atari_weekend_promo_120713]promo page, to see the entire selection. The offer lasts until Tuesday, July 16, at 3:59AM GMT. Don't miss out!

xxxIndyxxx: I guess this is the time to finally buy alone in the dark 4 digitally. I'm not sure my boxed copy will work on modern hardware and i enjoyed it very much when it came out.
It works on my system, but the inventory animations run at an obnoxiously fast speed.

Yay. And definitely, thank you Atari.

kodeen: GOG, do you know something that we don't, or is this just a precautionary measure?

gandalf.nho: Nice promo, already have Rollercoaster Tycoon 1-3, Blood 1 and 2, both Total Annihilation, Darklands, Pirates! Gold Plus, Outcast and KKND 1, will buy at least KKND2. Thinking in get Star Control and Master of Orion, how is the difficulty of these for players who genereally don't play TBS, only RTS?
Ditto. word for word, same post, same questions, anyone?

I'm missing 21 games.

Most of these games are... strategy and simulation so they're not my cup of tea though. :(

I might grab Riddick and Pirates Gold. Maybe Star Control 3 just so I have the entire series. I just need money. :(

It sucks how this is happening now, and there's still quite a few MicroProse games still not on GOG which Atari should own

I agree, will love to see Transport Tycoon Deluxe here (Locomotion is a very poor substitute)

Right, but that's very ambiguous as to what, if any, information they actually have.

That's the advantage we have here at GoG, once you download it, none will take it from you no matter how Atari ends.

Does anyone have I-War 2 working properly on Win 7 64-bit? (I notice it not supported on the gamecard?)
Posted July 12, 2013
Nice promo. Thank You, Atari! And of course: Thank You, GOG! :)

How is Darklands?

The Master of Orion games are detailed, crafty, and difficult especially for "casual" play but for strategy fans should be a blast, not sure about Star Control.

Fuzzyfireball: Would be a shame to see these go, a real blow to GOG honestly.
Wow, yeah, there are quite a few bestsellers here. Go hard GOG! Keep these classics on here! You owe it to yourselves.

G-Doc: Whatever the fate of the Atari IPs might be, we'll do all in our power to keep all of the games available for you in our catalog.
Negotiate all over the place. By the way, I assume that the Twitter hint was in reference to this promo?

Also, this: "The GOG Store is not experiencing some server problems right now. Don't try again later. Play games." Sheeeeetttt, I imagine Steam giving GOG a condescending pat on the head after this. :P
