A couple of my friends on gamespot mention GOG having good classic PC games on the cheap ($6-$10). They also mentioned the absence of DRM. I checked it out, downloaded Unreal Tournament GOTY and I was sold. It's been a love affair ever since.

When I bought my new PC, my disc version of Conquest of the New World Deluxe wouldn't run on it. I looked up the game in Google, hoping there was some way that I could find a fix. I found GOG instead. Kismet.

Abandonware.

PC Gamer mentioned it, although it took me a long time after that to actually check it out. I think the mention had to do with Fallout, but I didn't buy that one for a while. My first "good old game" was Far Cry, which I still love. ^_^

Up until recently I was purely a console gamer. The only games I had ever played for the PC were some MMOs, Warcraft 3, Diablo 2 and Starcraft 2. I wanted Psychonauts and it was cheaper for me to buy it digitally than getting a PS2 copy from Amazon (where I normally get games/dvds). Was a little worried about playing a platformer for the PC since I'd be using keys to move, giving me only one speed. Ended up choosing GOG because it is DRM free.

After playing that I realized that PC gaming is awesome. Unfortunately I jumped in at a time when games are being stuffed with DRM so I can't buy all the games I'd like to. Hell, I'd rebuy some games I have on the consoles just to play them again on PC (like Bioshock, that game is awesome).

Oh well, more money for GOG I guess. =)

Phantasmagoria, which is probably the worst reason I could have had. Sure, it's getting me a master's degree, but I'm having much more fun with Descent and Gabriel Knight.

I heard on Sierra Gamers that GOG had Phant and a few other Sierra titles. I was happy, because my attempts to patch old Sierra titles to work on modern PCs had been...well, patchy. And GOG has more than won my loyalty (and when grad student here gets some time and money, I've got a list of GOG titles to purchase...)

Google. I was looking for the original Blood on the net (some stupid asshole lost my original CD... with other 11 games). Never heard about GOG before, but that day I bought my first GOG game. Of course it was Blood.

I found GOG when I was searching around for some games I remembered my grandfather had many, many years ago.
Mainly Another World, Day of the Tentacle and King's Quest 6. Luckily I found Another World on GOG :D!

In case you don't know, they have King's Quest 6 now too. It comes with 4 and 5. =)

I have also been very pleased at the amount of Sierra titles on GOG as my game shelf will attest.

Had a friend ask me about Alone in the Dark this week, low and behold it was released on Thursday - mark another one up for GOG!

I think it pretty much was getting DRM free games from internet legally. My first ones were Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition and Disciples 2 Gold Edition.

And then I stayed.

What brought me here?

FreeSpace 2.

'nuff said.

the crack demons...they brought me here.....

Plenty of front page images featuring women with partially exposed chests... and the Gabriel Knight series.
