King's Quest and Space Quest Collections are both 4.99 . . . . . .

Not indie, but classic and amazing and I don't see many people discussing them here for some reason.

I'm trying to decide on this and would appreciate the help if anyone has them already:

Are the files free to use in any kind of DOSBox program? I wanted to get this for the CD versions of IV and VI, to use in my fantastic OSX dosbox program. Is that possible?

Damn you, I had forgot about those two :lol

I'm already buying The Witcher and really tempted to buy Torchlight despite having no idea if I'll enjoy games of this genre in the middle-long term, as well as Machinarium, I don't need more games to be tempted about :lol

Edit: I'm finally a member

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I really wish I had a better internet connection. Grand Theft Auto 4 has been downloading for the 8 hours and it's only 60% complete :\

I just noticed that I made close to 1/10 of all my posts in this thread lol. 128 posts in this thread out of 1400 total.

 

[wenis]

was about to ask for one, but although i would totally buy this game i can't justify $5 more... whether i like it or not :_;

because im feeling generous hit me up with your steam id and I'll hook you up.

 

[Brashnir]

I somehow can't justify buying GTA4 for $7.50 but I can justify gifting Bioshock and Audiosurf for $7.50

So in a weird set of circumstances, if someone gifts me GTA4, I'll give away Bioshock and Audiosurf >_>

So you're willing to spend $7.50 to get GTA4, as long as you somehow involve another person?

 

[Zombie James]

GTA IV's a great game, story quirks aside. Well worth $7.50.

 

[Fredescu]

And then I should not buy Grand Theft Auto IV, because its a crappy PC port that might play well or not play well on my PC.

It's not a crappy port, it's just very performance intensive. It runs nicely on my Q9550.

 

[Owzers]

Did some last minute caving with:

Lucas Arts Adventure Pack 2.49
Prince of Persia Two Thrones 4.99
Heroes of Might and Magic V 4.99


things that got left behind:

Painkiller
Gothic 3
The Witcher

the last two won't even run on my laptop atm so waiting won't be tooooo bad ( yes it will )

 

[unpurposed]

I'm so frustrated right now.

I've been waiting till today to pick up The Witcher and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, in the hopes that they would be on sale again. Everything was in my cart and I went to get my wallet and I realized I lost it on the way home from work.

ffffffffffffffuuuuuck

It's either at a Dunkin' Donuts or at Shaw's, both of which are closed.

I should have known better.

 

[speculawyer]

We all have some pretty serious problems.

:lol

No shit.

I've bought a gazillion games and I KNOW I'll never play lots of them. But it is nice knowing they are there. As long as Steam exists, I can I always download and play. Even as I upgrade and go to new PCs.

And they were cheap.

And any other rationalization I can think of.

 

[alistairw]

What's the mod community like?

 

[speculawyer]

Some random thoughts... I would have liked to pick up the Lego games. It's too bad they're still full price. (30 for lego batman sheesh).

Yeah, WTF. I would have picked up Lego Star Wars on the spot if it was slightly cheaper than console . . . but it is hard to buy a game when you can get the console version for the same price.

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

okay...

still have yet to decide on aquaria or not. anybody want to sell me? is it worth $10? what is it like?

on the fence about:

can't figure out if there's anything else cheap and awesome that i'm missing. would have bought audiosurf, torchlight, shattered horizon, day of deafeat, darwinia, and osmos if i didn't already have them

because im feeling generous hit me up with your steam id and I'll hook you up.

:0

pm'ed! maybe there's something i can offer as thanks but if that won't do then you have three internet hugs from me <33333

Is this for real?

(Graveyard) that is so fucked up, I'm sure I'll buy it eventually.

But I'm still trying to think if I want some more on-sale Indies . . . Any opinions on these:
1) Machinarium (Never mind, I'm sure you'll all gush over it.)
2) AAAaaaaAAaaaAAAaaa . . .?
3) Crayon Physics Deluxe
4) Altitude


(I already have most of the big popular Indie games.)

I played a lot of Crayon Physics when it came out and really enjoyed it, but I played it on a tablet PC. I'm assuming it's still cool with a mouse, but probably isn't quite as cool.

 

[wenis]

Add me and I'll gift it to you:

Monosylabik

this is easy to explain. You know you probably won't get around to playing GTA4. But you know the other people probably will play Bioshock & Audiosurf. What matter is that someone enjoys the game.

A friend of mine signed up for Steam and I immediately sent him Braid, Audiosurf, Osmos, and Stalker. :lol

 

[Revolution number one]

I want the left 4 dead 2 us version. Anybody wanna trade?

 

[StoOgE]

Pretty happy with the Torchlight purchase.

Audiosurf is kind of interesting. Not sure how much I'll actually use it. I mean, it's funish and I get to listen to my music.

Not sure that it feels like the game is all that related to the songs though.

 

[speculawyer]

ghostbusters

If you have a good game PC and a 360 controller set-up, get ghostbusters. $7 for a big production game that is like playing a ghostbuster in the movie. I've certainly enjoyed it.

 

[Shadowlink]

Wenis hasn't replied yet, so anyone else want to buy Stalker for me? I'll pay back via paypal.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Well who knows when I'll play Men of War now

 

[Brashnir]

As a counter-point, I bought it and really, really don't like it. I liked the parts where the Ghostbusters are standing around talking to each other, and to the player, but actually playing the game was just bad. Poor level design, obnoxious screen-filling PKE meter nonsense, un-fun combat. I played for an hour and shelved it. I might go through it sometime on easy just for the cutscenes, but can't recommend it as a game at all.

 

[Chris R]

My final haul:
Torchlight (1 for me, one for a gift)
Defense Grid (1 for me, one for a gift)
The Witcher
Morrowind GOTY

Games I would have purchased if they had been at a better price:
Unreal Tournament 3: Black
Oblivion GOTY
Fallout 3 GOTY

I'm still pissed off that I slept through the 17.95$ Fallout 3 GOTY pricing error

 

[Costanza]

This worth $22.49? I haven't played ANY of them.

[Kintaro]

Anyone encounter problems with gifting Mass Effect when it was on sale? My friend didn't get the copy I sent him. =/

 

[speculawyer]

I played a lot of Crayon Physics when it came out and really enjoyed it, but I played it on a tablet PC. I'm assuming it's still cool with a mouse, but probably isn't quite as cool.

That was enough to push me over the edge.

Also, I've enjoyed Bad Rats . . . a simplistic physics game with an Itchy&Scratchy vibe that is $2.49, so I'll probably like crayon physics.

Osmos & Braid are still my most recommended Indie games.

 

[dani_dc]

A friend of mine signed up for Steam and I immediately sent him Braid, Audiosurf, Osmos, and Stalker. :lol

A friend of mine (not a PC gamer at all) also just signed up and I've been considering getting him a cheap game or two as well :lol

Is Borderlands censored in your country? I'd do a L4D2 <-> Borderlands gift swap if you can send a good version.

Anyone?

I had picked up Prince of Persia used for the 360 and it was enjoyable though not super-compelling. So I ebayed it and used the proceeds to buy this pack. Many say some of the earlier games are better than the Recent 'Prince of Persia' (2008).

no idea

what game do you want?

 

[Shadowlink]

Hmm that's weird, I sent you messages on steam.

Edit: Added you!

 

[Brashnir]

Borderlands.

 

[speculawyer]

A friend of mine (not a PC gamer at all) also just signed up and I've been considering getting him a cheap game or two as well :lol

Yeah, how can you not set him up with one or two of the good $2.50 games?

 

[Dambrosi]

(I already have most of the big popular Indie games.)

Aaaaa... has a demo. It was enough to sell me on the game (whereas the Painkiller demo scared me off). Runs smooth and fast, as is to be expected. Quirky sense of humour, retro-styled neon aesthetic, flipping off protestors and defacing government property. It's like a freefall Jet Set Radio, except...not at all :lol

Altitude looks like crap to me, but then I haven't played it or Subspace, which gets mentioned a lot in Altitude discussions.

Never heard of CPD. Like the look of Machinarium, and it has a demo too, but I can't play it because I'm waiting for The Witcher to download. 410kb/s, oh god it'll be hours.

EDIT: Heh, changed my download server to Africa and I'm getting >1MB/s, nice

 

[Revolution number one]

Borderlands.

Sorry dude, I only got 53 bucks in australian left. Sorry again

 

[Brashnir]

no worries. They're the same price on the US store.

Playing it on easy is probably a very good idea. I played it on easy 3/4 through. But I stopped and started over on the medium difficulty. I kinda regret that. Some sections are just frustrating and the other ghostbusters don't help much . . . you keep having to revive them.

I'd say go back & play it on easy. I agree that as a game, it isn't all that great. But as an interactive experience, it is enjoyable.

 

[Revolution number one]

You wanna trade for someting else?

 

[Shadowlink]

Wenis is awesome! Gave me the game for free. Insisted on paying him too. Thank You Wenis.

 

[Jirotrom]

zeno clash... yay or nay and how long is it?

zeno clash... yay or nay and how long is it?

The game is like 3-4 hours from what I hear. Extremely disappointing length if you ask me.
