Good Old Games
Finally got my beta access to the rather promising gog.com - selling slightly older pc games for a bargain price but with full support and guaranteed XP and Vista compatibility. Fair enough you can just for Abandonware but most of these aren’t available on Abandonware sites and there are some real crackers in there and with the games priced at either $10 or $6 it’s not exactly breaking the bank. Here’s the list of what games available so far:
1nsane
Colin McRae Rally 2005
Conquest of the New World
Descent + Descent 2
Descent 3 + Expansions
Die by the Sword + Expansion
Earthworm Jim 3D
Evolva
F/A-18E Super Hornet
Fallout
Fallout 2
Fallout Tactics
Freespace + Expansion
Freespace 2
Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising
Invictus: In the Shadow of Olympus
Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Businesss
Kingpin: Life of Crime
Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader
M.A.X. + M.A.X. 2
MDK
MDK 2
Messiah
Operation Flashpoint GOTY
Original War
Perimeter
Redneck Rampage Collection
Sacrifice
Shattered Steel
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division
Soldiers: Heroes of World War II
Stonekeep
Toca Race Driver 3
The site itself looks real modern and slick and looks like it’s going to have a good community and technical support service. I reckon I’m going to go for Lionheart and Perimeter first, both games that I missed at the time. If you’re signed up for the service and looking for a recommendation, I strongly suggest Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2, that’s an absolute cracker if you like you’re strategy games.
