So, the original Floppy version runs on what? DosBox?

And the Windows 95 version runs on what? Naively on your current Windows?

Yep the DOS version runs on DOS box and the Windows version runs through GOG's launcher. I get some lovely colour space errors when trying to run the Windows app natively and the DOS version kicks up errors due to being on a 64bit OS but I haven't tied a few compatability methods yet but you do get the original files all there.

Spintires is great! The game is way more fun that it has any right to be

 

[Ban Puncher]

[Stallion Free]

Spintires 40% off.

And the first Alien DLC: http://store.steampowered.com/app/282512/

No achievements specific to the DLC added, how odd.

The two Cybertron games are pretty great.

Then Rise of the Dark Spark came along and ruined everyones fun.

 

[Stallion Free]

Yep. Great actually.

Thanks.. I'm a 1981 baby. So this fits the bill perfectly.

Today, we're all 1989.

shave 10 off for me

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

christ, the base price on that transformers game is still $60? Activision, not everything can get away with call of duty pricing.

It's especially hard to pay $15 when you consider that Ghostbusters was going for less than $3.

 

[Shadownet]

While you were gone I gifted a Bad Rats to one of my close friends. I did it like you told me to Sensei.

Yes but what if the license expires and Transformers disappears from Steam forever?

WHAT THEN???

Lords of the Fallen loses points imediatly for playing each ad intro (alienware, nvidia, etc) TWICE, because we love those so much I guess

then it gets back those points for having borderless window

 

[Arthea]

I checked uplay sale, there is nothing even close to -90%. Is it a trick?

Spoiler

and no treat? typical (><)

Today, we're all 1989.

I wish

edited: Titanfall seems to be free for 48 hours, a full game.

Spoiler

I'm too lazy to download (><)

 

[Dimitri2401]

Wow, I'm a lucky guy Thank you so much!

 

[Fare Godmace]

I feel like an idiot for wasting 2 hours trying to find a trader for Alien instead of working on my final project Not blaming you, fantomema, BTW. I'm referring more to people on trading sites.

I have way too many games anyways, and still some Halloween KF cheevos to get. Oh, well.

EDIT: Any thoughts on Miasmata? I may give it a try tonight.

Let's hope @SEGA does the right thing and brings Vanquish to PC next.


The guy works at Valve

Why not even a single one of you mentioned Skies of Arcadia?
I've had the GC version ready to be played on Dolphin for years now, but I'm waiting for Sega to re-release it on Steam so that someone will mod out the random encounters ratio, replacing it with a fixed 0, to finally allow me to freely explore the best game world ever without those motherfucking ghost-ish enemies with 300% evade popping up every other second.

EDIT: Skies of Arcadia = best RPG (J AND C) ever.

Oh god, Vanquish too!? I'm happy for it but I'd rather have Skies of Arcadia. It seems like an easy port too.

I've wanted to try Skies of Arcadia, but the only system I have that can play it would be the GC version, and it's way too expensive

A PC port would be good for my wallet.

If SEGA wanted to do something interesting and completely out of left field, they could release SMT 1&2 on Steam. SMT1 with the translation from the IOS version, can't remember if SMT2 iOS is out in the west yet.

That would be pretty sweet.

SMT 1, 2, if..., Nocturne, etc. etc.

Bring them all. I will buy them.

Lords of the Fallen loses points imediatly for playing each ad intro (alienware, nvidia, etc) TWICE, because we love those so much I guess

then it gets back those points for having borderless window

First thing i look for when i start a game is a way to disable those ad intros if there isn't a means of skipping them. Sometimes, i disable them anyhow, just cause ya can.

Unreal Engine has a general launch option (-nostartupmovies) that works on almost every UE3 game. If not, you'll usually need to delete/rename those files so that they don't pop up again.

It's always the worst with games that require restarts for changes to take effect and you have to sit through scaleform and nvidia and speedtree and the 10 dev teams that worked on the game as they blast you with poorly compressed videos that take too damn long

Anybody bought X-Wing and Tie Fighter from GOG already? Are they just shitty DosBOX pack-in versions?

Just an FYI that they're being discussed pretty heavily in this thread:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=920110

Both the Windows 98 and DOS versions are included. There are some subtleties to that, though. As with many video game re-releases ... it's complicated.

Consider yourself lucky. Hopefully one day it'll stop being a thing everywhere, as it's really annoying and serves no real purpose other than to confuse people twice a year.

 

[MMBosstones86]

It pains me that kids these days will only know Bayformers. Those feels man.

There was a price fuck up with Alien and I missed it?

i had good older brothers. i wasn't around for the movie, but they made sure to get the tape from the local Best buy when i was a little kid(nearly 21). i've cherished that tape for ages.

 

[derExperte]

So everything well now? Nobody I forgot to pay back?

Mad props btw for not buying a ton of them and asking for $30 or so in the B/S/T thread. Happens far too often these days.
