So in one of the weirdest cross-promotion deals I've seen, I received a Ubisoft game code in a pack of deodorant and shower gel I received for Xmas. It can be used to get a free copy of one of the following:
- Rayman Origins
- Trackmania 2
- Tin Tin
- Call of Juarez: The Cartel
- Clash of Heroes
- Shoot Many Robots

I already have Rayman Origins (great game) and I'm not interested in the others so I figured I'd let someone else try Rayman (or another game if you'd prefer).

Basically you go here.

Pick one of the six games, add to cart, enter promo code (which I'll send to the winner), and you get the game on Uplay. That might turn some people off, but personally I got Uplay for Far Cry 3 and I don't mind it. Its offline mode seems to work better than Steam's, if nothing else.

To enter, simply tell me what your favourite game from the 1990s is, and what's so great about it. I'll pick a winner using random.org in six hours or so (I'll delay it to tomorrow if not many people enter).

Note: I believe this code only works in Australia and NZ. It doesn't specifically say so anywhere but it's very light on the terms and conditions. I tried to view the site using a few proxies in other countries and it didn't work. You can enter anyway, but if the above link doesn't load a page saying "Download one of these games for free with your promotional code! ", it's probably not worth your time.

Not entering, but thanks and +1! :)

+1 and thanks for the giveaway. My favourite game of the 90's would have to be Myst. Best-selling game of it's time, and has it's on parody starring John Goodman, Pyst.

In please?

Not in, but thanks and +1 for your generosity, markx182!

Also, a little promotion in the Giveaways' Directory:

Thank you markx182 for your generosity.. I am in for Rayman Origins :)

My favourite game from the 90's is Populous: The Beginning... Love the idea of using GOD powers.. defeating all the world leader to become the supreme shaman.. One of the first few games I played and its still stuck in my head :)

I'm in for Rayman Origins too, thanks and +1 :)
My favourite game from 1990 was Chrono Trigger.
I never saw an RPG like that anymore.
A non-linear story, a lot of character (I also missed Magus the first time), many endings, Akira Toriyama character's design...a lot of things I loved all in one game!
And it has one of the best soundtrack I ever heard too (Frog's theme is awesome!).

I only started gaming in the late 90's (I was born in 91, so probably started gaming in 96 or so). But the game I remember having the most fun with back then was probably Mario Kart 64, Super Mario 64 or Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Alright I'm about to draw a winner from the list of:

Update: The winner (courtesy of random.org) is Tarun. PM incoming.
