Andrigaar posted:People impulse buy the unpopular games hoping it'll convince them to sell them the one they actually do want. Sounds like it's actually working on enough people that it continues. No, I mean the other scenario, the one where no-one buys it and they give up on selling their old games - that would also have to be a win for it to be "win-win" for them.

In all seriousness, though the games did get incrementally better up to about W:A, the original Worms engine has its own unique brand of charm, and I'd recommend playing it just to compare it to the modern engine. It's just that it's been a bit of a sod to get running on modern systems even within DOSbox, so I might actually grab this despite owning a CD copy. It's only on Steam insofar, but I also really liked Worms Blast. It was a Bust-a-Move clone, sure, but a really good one.

Worms (and Reinforcements/United) is the only one I ever played and I played A LOT. Very happy about this. I hope you can play without the United pack because it fucks up the ninja rope a bit.

Sale's over, so thread title may need to change. General suggestion: GoG.com - Buy it again for the first/second/nth time That, or anything that states that all Worms releases that are not Worms Armageddon can gently caress right off. C'MON GOG MAKE IT HAPPEN

If Project-X (one of Team17's Amiga titles) had a DOS port I'd laugh if it made it on GOG. It was a pretty dull shmup with a lot of cheap deaths. I think Superfrog has a minigame related to it.

Is Alien Breed more or less just an arena type shooter? Is it strictly keyboard controls? It looks like something I'd enjoy but I never played it back in the day.

Given that Worms 1 was my childhood and Reinforcements was my one DOS install that what got away (I think the problem was the copy of worms I had was OEM) I'm more than happy to let T17 "Win" on this one. On a related note, World Rally, worth it?

Played Superfrog on Amiga I think. I can't believe they are charging for it. There's nothing wrong with classic Worms and Worms United (& Reinforcements) was the best, combined version of it. Many hours spent typing crap into the landscape generator (STU, SHEEP, TRUTHOUT, BANANA and of course SPACE if you hate yourself). I remember filling a whole notepad one summer between me and my friends. It'll be interesting to see what version of Armageddon GoG delivers, since it was refined over subsequent fan patches (which were actually endorsed by Team17 in the end).

^^^^ Surely it'll be The Sims, but given it's EA, they won't release any of the expansion packs! If not that, it'll be the timeless and beloved PS classic, Shadow Man, it must!

If http://www.gog.com/en/wanted/ is anything to go by, it'll be either System Shock (not likely) or The Secret of Monkey Island. The latter would be stupidly lame considering the remake of it that's already out, but it would be a so very GoG thing to do.

Blood: If only my 10 year old self could see me now. I used to load that game up, choose easy mode, put god mode on, get all the weapons and then roll around blowing zombies up, only to get piss scared when the hands and the sharks and the fishmen all showed up and stop playing. I'd get stuck on different parts of the levels and would just level skip all over the place thinking I was being awesome. Now I'm cruising around levels on medium difficulty, blasting cultists left and right, loving up the sharks with my sawn-off, fragging fishmen with dynamite and tearing those hands apart into meaty chunks. No cheats, no walkthrough to tell me where the secrets are, no fear of the unknown, it's all me, kid. Step aside and watch how the real pros work It's amazing how fun that game will always be and it's kind of sobering to remember just how unfair it was too. They really, really want you to die in that game, with enemies being placed around blind corners so they could get cheap shots in, hyper accurate hitscan enemies being placed in groups who could kill you in less than two seconds, a bunch of nuisance enemies pouring out of every crevasse, and janky old-school puzzle platforming that never ages well. Still, it remains one of the most intensely satisfying shooters I've ever played, thanks in no small part to how much skill is involved in judging and tossing dynamite and all the cool weapons with their secondary firing modes.

In most fps's I try to only save at the beginning of each level. Blood broke that habit quickly. My favorite fps after doom now. Plus I haven't tried the new custom level set so that's exciting. Too bad I need to wait, laptop crapped out. I hate this phone.

GreenNight posted:Can I play Torment in a window and does it matter if I have no sound? Windowed: yes; edit torment.ini and change Fullscreen to false. Pretty sure this works whether you have the widescreen patch or not. Sound: sound isn't critical for playing the game, if that's what you're after - there's a few incidental lines but for the most part all the dialogue is unvoiced, and there are no sound puzzles or the like. However, the music is fantastic and you are missing out by playing it muted. quote:Big news! One of our most requested classic games is coming to GOG.com - DRM-free classic PC games.

I've beaten Darklands, Master of Magic (a ton), and Gothic 1 here. Some days I get zero calls in 8 hours, others I'm swamped all day. We're in a slow period. I've beaten Torment in the past but it's been like a decade.
