Interplay - Making people go "Nay! Nay!" instead of "Yay! Yay!".

Of all the mediocre looking releases today, trust the bloated, zombified corpse of Interplay to deliver the least appealing option.

You know where you can stick your prices.

or the windows 95 special editions

Are these still the DOS versions of the game?

Also only cost $6 then. Talk about inflationary greed. *shakes head*

Checking the Earthworms split:

-The "Earthworm Jim 1+2: The Whole Can 'O Worms" package was delisted on 2022-09-26 ($10usd)
gog.com/forum/general/games_removed_from_the_gog_catalogue_by_year/post401
-That day 2022-09-26, each vgame got a separate page ($10usd a piece)
-Earthworm Jim 3D never left (Steady, $10usd then and now)
-4 months later, Today 2023-02-09, this 1+2+3D pack shows up ($20usd)

Then it seems the split operation didn't go as good as expected (to have a repack happening)
Sure, still a whooping $6.67 each piece of the pack,
but not so distant from the $5 original each (I mean for 1&2)

Good! We are understanding each other
Then I keep waiting those Battle Chess get packed again...
and discounted, of course :)

Meanwhile, EJ4 is no more.

As long as none of the money is going to 10Nipples, (and Scamarico) I'm sure giving new players the chance to rediscover the mediocrity of these mid at best games will suit well, no matter what form they take.

Though I do regret buying them for reasons of damnations of the authors, I [checks notes] bought them for 2.99 as a duo pack.

Earthworm Jim 3D? What's that?

No thank you.

MiSTer FPGA + CRT TV + SEGA CD Core + EWJ Special Edition + Saturn Core + EWJ2.

And of course the bundle does not count when you already own one or two of the games. More and more greedy GOG bundles which try to make you pay twice.

And for a moment, I thought this included that better version of EWJ 1s PC version, instead of the one GOG has already had for ages (and for a better price). It's like the only point of this bundle is to ramp up the price in times of crisis.

And yet we still get the worst possible version, that being the DOS one. If the price hike was at least accompanied by the release of the complete, Win 95 Special Edition, then it would have been at least somewhat justified. But just jacking up the price... good luck with that.

Don't forget to complain later that sales on GOG are below expectations.

A decent 3D platformer that gets a lot more flak than deserved because most people seemingly can't be bothered to find/use the camera controls?

This bundle is on Steam too.

On the bright side, you can still buy the games separately, unlike Steam which forces you to buy all 3 together.

And now that I jinxed it, Interplay will remove the separate entries...


...in 2028.

How about releasing DMR-free Total War: Warhammer 1,2 and 3 instead.
