Classic games on the cheap, with over 20 great titles for only $1.79 each!

Bargain bins. For a classic gaming fan shopping rarely gets more awesome and exciting. A large pile of slightly dusty boxes hiding true gaming treasures and tons of nostalgia, complete with low prices to guarantee no buyers regret--that's a welcome sight in any gaming store. Although digital, we're not much different. We have our [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/team17_blue_moon_red_owl_merge_games_weekend_promo_210314]bargain bin as well! Today, we put it up for you, so you can feel that treasure hunter's rush in the comfort of your homes. What's in it? Classics, of course! Worms, Commandos, Creatures, Superfrog, Realms of the Haunting, and more, more, more. All for the low, low price of $1.79 a game (with one little exception).

You know you want to, so come and sift through our virtual bargain bin for some wonderful gaming memories and classic discoveries, for only $1.79 each (with one little exception), until Tuesday, March 25, at 4:59AM GMT.

Hmm, looking at this list of games is a bit like looking at a list of b movies. Problem is that I don't have enough time for them.

Schloop: That must be hands down the worst GOG sale ever.
There are no Triple A's in it, huh??? ;P

I'm definitely gonna get Commandos 2+3 :)
And maybe more, must overlook the sale later again.

My dear Commandos, we've been flirting for over a decade. I remember when I was barely a teenager and my brother tried to get us together, and foolishly I declined. We drifted apart and you were nearly forgotten... but no longer. Tonight you will be mine.

Your sisters Worms 2, Realms of the Haunting, and Normality are looking damn fine too. Bring them along. Tonight we all pray to the golden GOG.

Two quick things:

To anyone introducing themselves to Commandos, I've played that game thousands of times and my door is always open. :D

Constructor doesn't have a tutorial! OY! :-( Oh the icon for it is also the old old Windows icon for trash but I think that's actually kind of cool.

Shambhala: I made up my mind and bought Hostile Waters and Realms of the Haunting.
I wanted to get Normality, Commandos and Constructor as well, but my responsible side finally won and made me realize that I've spent way too much during the luck of the Irish promotion...
Hostile Waters is an incredibly fun game! It's just a shame they never made a sequel for it.

Clearly there are a lot of good games in this sale, easily worth their normal price. Sure, it's a mixed bag of titles, but GOG may be underselling the quality with the "bargain bin" label. They are bargains though, I'll grant them that. But "bargain bin" to me usually means straight-to-DVD releases, Peter Frampton cassettes, and shoe laces featuring cartoon characters that haven't been on the air for years. This is nicer. :)

Again, lots of strategy titles...that saves me!!!
I'll surely buy Superfrog, it's on my wishlist and I can't wait to play it again, I almost finished it 15 years ago or more and I NEED to end my quest!
Litil Divil (again, I used to play it when CDs were rare XD) and one Worms installment might get in the basket, too, and eventually the first Creatures.
Ultimate Body Blows was not that good even when I used to play it, but it has lots of memories...hmmm...

Week in and week out, the only thing that saves my wallet is owning a Mac. Should be able to keep it to 5 new games this weekend.

Thanks gog!

Damn it, GOG! I'm trying to keep some money on my paysafecard in case a promo for "Blood" comes along and you throw Realms of the Haunting, World Rally Fever and Worms 1 my way. I already have enough trouble with decisions when there's only one game I really want on sale...
Posted March 21, 2014
Bought only Alien Breed. Was thinking about Incoming series, but manage to found my old CDs with both games (and still need to play it on laptop as game refuses to launch with current drivers and I can't downgrade)

How's Soulbringer?
It looks like another diablogrinder

tinyE: Did I hear someone never played Commandos!?

WTF!?

That's like saying you've never seen Star Wars, never heard a blue bird sing, never watched a sunrise!

Oh man I am so totally depressed now.
I've never heard a blue bird sing (they are not native to Australia, or an import for that matter). We also have a morning TV show called sunrise, it is rubbish so I try and avoid it. Oh you weren't referring to the real world were you :)

All morning TV shows are rubbish but I'm willing to be ours are worse than yours. Well, they used to be. Kathy Lee retired so that kind of killed our ace in hole. :D

Ah, you're one of those spoiled capitalists who don't get it? ;-) To us, central-Europeans with limited budget, games bargain bin is one of the most coolestest things you can run by. Not only the prices are ridiculously low, but going through it brings the excitement of a treasure hunt. Sure, sometimes you discover the bin is filled with only the gaming equivalents of Bee Gees cover band's CDs, but most of the times you'll find yourself in luck and discover a few titles you remember fondly or never got to play despite your best intentions. Once you hit the jackpot you'll find yourself rushing home with a set of games you're genuinely excited about and happy to get at such low cost. You'll consider yourself a winner, because you managed to get the best of the bargain bin. Well, this here promo <b>is</b> the best of the bargain bin--you can pick and choose and whatever you might end up getting, you'll be a winner :-)
