Honestly? Eduke32's website brought me here, I've still got the boxed copy of Duke Nukem 3D somewhere around here, but the digital version is so much easier to use than attempting to install/run the game from the disc (for me, at least). And I've been here ever since. :D

which Magazine was that?

welcome to the forums and community =)

PC Powerplay, It is an Australian PC Gaming Magazine

I first heard about GOG about the time they started, in an article in PC Gamer, I think. I had a look at the site, but didn't stick around. I was even more distrustful of digital distribution platforms then. The 32 games currently on my GOG account, however, does imply that I've mellowed a little :-)

Anyway, flash forward a few years, and another mention on the PC Gamer website, and I think "Oh year, them. May as well see if it's changed." I spent the next half an hour or so going through GOG's catalogue, squeeing like a school girl, with phrases like "Holy SHIT, I've always wanted to play that!"

A month later I had some money and bought Psychonauts. Now, I'm steadily working through my ever increasing wish list, as well as trying to find time to play all the games I already have.

Not a bad predicament to be in, all told.

I was surfing the Witcher Wiki during my fourth or so playthrough, and followed a link for the Witcher 2 preorder. I immediately wishlisted half a dozen things, bought Planescape, and signed up for the preorder.

Fun times.

Saw a heading on another website saying that Planescape: Torment was now legal download available for $9.99. It was the game which I always wanted to play but never thought I'd have the opportunity to do so!

I was searching for some Good Old Games

A strong urge to play the original gothic and a quick google search. If steam had a copy of gothic I never would have found this place, and never known the joys of no DRM!!!

Saw a GOG ad about Beyond Good & Evil on an abandonware site(yes i know, for shame) and was turned to the light :D

That's a good question. What Brought Me Here? I have no idea. Does someone know how I got here? I remember reading about it before launch, visiting, thinking it's stupid and leaving. Few months passsed and I was registered and I haven't even realised by then it's the same site.
There is a better question though. Why I Am Still here? I have n oanswer either. OK, bye then.

Well it wass some time ago now, i was walking home and there was a bright light... i woke up the next morning with an extremely sore butt. I looked at my watch and saw it was about 830, i turned the radio on and listened for a bit till there was a time check 10 am said the woman.
Shit im late i thought and went to get up. Thats when i looked at my watch again, id lost a whole hour. Anyway i wrote to section 5 and told them my experience. A week or so later i recieved a reply which advised me the clocks changed that night.
In my frustration at them trying co convince me nothing had actually happened i logged on the net and found the site by complete accident. I assume it was the aliens way of saying sorry. The strangest thing is though every 2nd tuesday they steal all the rubbish out my bins. What they want with it i hate to guess.

My desktop broke so I was looking for old games that I could play on my netbook. Someone on a forum somewhere recommended it, I can't remember which one though. I had heard of it before but I didn't know anything about it, I thought it was just a cheap version of Steam.

I learned about GoG from a topic about "oldies but goldies" games on a forum of one of the local gaming magazines. Someone posted "Soon you can buy them legally from gog.com"... so here I am.

I joined immediately but at first I was skeptical and just limited myself to the few freely available games. I continued to be a regular visitor until the first Screamer contest was on. So because Screamer was one of my favorite childhood games and at that time I was quite good at it, I purchased it in order to participate to the contest. Didn't manage to win anything at that contest but the second screamer contest that followed later got me a second place and a free game. Then I was permanently hooked and I visit GoG almost daily.
