Whoever said nothing in this world is free obviously hasn’t visited GOG.com, which stands for Good Old Games. Now they’re giving away two adventure game classics.
Whoever said nothing in this world is free obviously hasn’t visited GOG.com, which stands for Good Old Games. Now they’re giving away two adventure game classics.
Solely devoted to preserving computer game classics of yesteryear, this new website has announced it’s giving away two beloved point-and-click adventure titles: Beneath a Steel Sky and Lure of the Temptress. As a special bonus, Beneath a Steel Sky (71MB) also includes a digital comic book illustrated by famed graphic artist Dave Gibbons.
Many of the games offered at GOG.com, which cost either $5.99 or $9.99, can no longer be found in stores, and are guaranteed to work on current hardware such as Windows XP or Windows Vista. Registration is free but required.
Examples of the DRM-free games offered here include Unreal Tournament, Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games, Toca Race Driver 3, Operation Flashpoint, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, Simon the Sorcerer and Fallout. All but one of the 62 games come with digital manuals, too. Between 2 and 4 games are added each week.
"We’re very happy that we’ve managed to get those two great classics before the holidays — the free games are a sort of ‘thank you’ to GOG.com users who have been supporting us since our beta launch," said Adam Oldakowski, managing director of GOG.com, in a company statement.
