I hate titles that don't start with a capital letter.

I had to learn all about that shit in middle and highschool. It's not that I don't know of the time period, the entire premise is fucking retarded.
This. It's an awesome jrpg but $25 for a game so old is pushing it.
Any goodwill Ubi had with me ended up being marked and executed.
But hey, they just announced another panther action simulator, maybe i won´t end up disappointed this time.

Only Cloning Clyde and Ancient of Ooga are Steam, and those are the two titles I don't want. I'll pass, this time.

I only want Cloning Clyde, anybody want to split it?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I'm pretty sure I distinctly remember Stump lovin' Cloning Clyde something fierce.

PM me if you want the Steam key.
I have exactly the same problem.

I set a bad precedent for myself by instantly cashing in the AC:Rev coupon I was given. Didn't even hesitate slightly. Valve now knows I'm a complete sucker with terrible impulse control. Now I can't even make eye contact with Steam and should probably just avoid this thread in general.
What? I thought that was my new virgin Windows 7 installation effing up! Thank goodness!
Godammit Valve, you had me fuming for hours there.

I made a thread for the new Indie Royale. I think I'll skip this one, to be honest :/

Do you really need to ask this question?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Tomb Raider Series is the Square Enix deal of the day. Everything 75% off.
They raised the price to $50? What the hell is wrong with them?

It's a standard firesale tactic. They raise the price and discount it deeper, giving the illusion that you're saving more than you actually are.
It sucks, but is an interesting tactic on Steam, where many people will consider buying basically anything if it is 75% off.

Cool. Might finally grab Underworld, it's the only one I haven't played.
Hey, now, they did have enough sense to pick up Eidos for some pocket change.
What's funny about this LR talk is I managed to have some self control and not cave at purchasing it. I was at the caving point a couple of times, but held strong. But the way they raised the price on it, I have a faint tinge of regret for not picking it up at 10 dollars. Not that I would have ever played it, it's just the principle of it.

Is Tomb Raider legend worth it? It's the only one I don't have there.
EDIT: Screw it...can't really miss for $3.74 lol

No non se daily?
It's on par with Underworld. Well worth it at that low price.

All of the Tomb Raider games are pretty good imo, definitely worth the buy.
King's Quest Collection is the Steam daily: http://store.steampowered.com/app/10100/
50% off/$9.99 for 7 games.

Fuck me, why can't my tax return get here already!

Fuck yes! My childhood! Boy, did I enjoy these games when I was young, I still have this collection on CD-ROM somewhere.
EDIT: By the way, isn't there usually a bigger easter-sale? I seem to recall they had one the past two years.
Are these games good/classics? I'm quite tempted to get them but I know very little about them.
You don't have $10?
Edit: My intention was for you to reply with an answer effectively being "no" and gift you the deal... but it's not on Steam AU, and there's no substitute (i.e. no DD at all). Three cheers for stupid publishers!
I suppose most of them don't run on Win7 x64?

5 and 6 are great
1, 2 and 3 all have free remakes that are way better because those games did not age well at all.
6 is a classic. I haven't played through it but 5 might be worthwhile as well. ..so long as you don't try the talkie version.
Agreed. I've never been a huge fan of King's Quest. KICKSTART QUEST FOR GLORY OK?

I also liked 7 very much. It's more of a fairy-tale kind of world but it was the first one in the series I played and really enjoyed it. Mind you, this is many years ago.
The voice acting in 5 is great.
Depends. Would you not mind random deaths, nonsensical puzzles that can only be solved through trial and error, and possibly having to start the whole game over because you missed something?
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely ADORE the games, but I'm just trying to give warning. I'd get them myself if I didn't already own most of the collection on GOG.
Also, is Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light DLC worth it? I've already finished the main game and I'd love to have more content to play.

I'd also recommend playing the remakes over the original three. And keep in mind if you have Windows 7 or Vista you may run into issues playing the Steam versions. If that's a concern then just get them on GOG.
The owl is so awful that I never bothered past the first few areas.
Where you get them doesn't really matter. Just make sure you're playing them with SCUMMVM and you won't run into compatibility issues.

I actually only have 5 bucks in my account right now, yay poor money management!
Also thanks for the offer (its the thought that counts!), but lord knows I have more than enough games already (that I don't have time for anyway!).

That works? I've tried playing the LucasArts games on Steam through SCUMM and they don't work. I assumed the same with King's Quest.
TheNamelessOne

The Steam release of the Lucasarts games were made so that they'd be incompatible with SCUMMVM (they use a different interpreter and the SCUMMVM guys said they'd leave it alone). The Sierra stuff works fine since Activision barely did anything to get them on Steam.
Never understood the Cedric hate. I mean sure, he's annoying. Sure, I don't think of him FONDLY. But he didn't ruin the game for me.

King's Quest Collection is £4.99 in the UK, which is $7.92, so if you want to save two bucks PM me and I can help you out.

Oh, good to know.
It's probably been over a decade since I've played a King's Quest game. I haven't even tried those fan remakes out but everyone who plays them tells me they are done with the originals now that they have those. I may go through them in preparation for TellTale's game.
