GOG: Good Old Games

Sign in to disble this ad
Just wanted to plug these guys, I think it's a great business model. Classic games tweaked for playability in WinXP and Vista, DRM free, super super cheap, includes all manuals, music, and any other extras.

I'm not affiliated with these guys at all, I'm just a gamer who plays mainly old games, and this site is the perfect thing for someone like me, and maybe you too. I want to see them stay in business for a long time and see their catalogue grow, so if you like old games, go support!

Also, if you have a pad for your PC/laptop, check out

www.games4win.com

they have a lot of old Megadrive titles available, great for nostalgia trips! Oh, and it's all free too!

Awesome to see Kingpin on GOG! That was really edgy stuff back in the day! Redneck Rampage is worth a play too, as is Gothic.

OUCH

Considering the age of these games, the prices are totally out of the charts. I got MDK for free in a PC games magazine something like ten years ago, when MDK2 came out.

Do they have Candyland and Monopoly? Although Operation can be a good old game too. Personal favorite Twister.

Wow, that site sure fooled me. When you said good "old" games, I am thinking arcade and console games from the 80's and early 90's. Nothing looked "old" to me on that site.

Now back I go to MAME.

Thanks...

Unfortunately, its WAY to slippery to get any business done on the mattress itself, but swish... Bam! the floor is right there!

The waterbed thing is cool, but just be sure to put shower curtains on the floor so you get the same effect on the floor...
