best old games

[Valdarious]

www.gog.com/ is a great place to find old games and to get them to play on new OS's. I have re-bought a couple of my old favorites.
Pool of Radiance was a favorite of mine also along with Neverwinter and all the expansions.
What I really want is for the old creators of Dungeon Keeper to make a new one.

Totally agree. In fact, all the old Bullfrog employees need to be pulled out of retirement and/or unemployment and/or their own stupid game companies and forced to put together something new, even if it's just a sequel. They made some of the most creative, well constructed games I can remember. Syndicate? Theme Hospital? Magic Carpet? These are the guys who brought us Populous! Come on.......

I'm not sure what the legal status is, seems legit, o-g's been up and looking clean for years, but I've gotten a ton of GoG installs(like with GoG ads and everything installed to a GoG folder) from old-games.com and you spend less than 10 bucks there for a full month of downloading anything. The ad's for GoG games in the installs are like that full month price for one game.

Like on the front page of GoG, they have Heroes 3 complete for $9.99
here
942 mbs.

You can get it on old-games:
here
902 mbs, for $8.95, and then you can go get every other Heroes and everything else your heart desires.

I would just say definitely give old-games a check before you go to good-old-games.

GoG has deals all the time. I have gotten a number of games in the sub $5 range. I always figured they were legal since they were the older games that no longer work on new OS's but they get them to work.
I will say that I have to use my paypal card to purchase as my bank card will not work as it is out of country, lol.

Naw I wasn't saying GoG seemed illegal or something, it's just that O-G has GoG's installs up there all the time for a cheaper flat rate, so it always seemed to me like old-games was illegally ripping off GoG. I seriously doubt it, just wondered how that works.

And yea they have deals, but if even one of the games you want to buy on GoG is on old-games you're probably better off going there and getting the month and the hundred other games you know you'll get. Or just get it for free slowly.

My all time favorite game series, Legacy of Kain. Especially the Soul Reaver series. Used to play EQ with the composer of the Soul Reaver music, actually. I still go backl & play those every once in a while.

They're one of the best written gaming series ever. Seriously when it comes to people looking down on games or questioning their validity or maturity, this is the kind of series you can slam down to shut someone the fuck up. It's just so rare you have that fully realized universe with fascinating characters, factions and locales that's so unlike anything else out here. I can find other games that have bits and pieces but you know a game or series is really unique when there's no substitute for the full package.

Amy Henig is working on the new Star Wars game apparently, I'm going to keep an eye on it even with EA's dirty hands all over it.
