mister_tea Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 The GOG summer sale is also on. I think they are just "GOG" rather than an acronym now but it used to be called "Good Old Games" and they do a good job of making games DRM-free, compatible with new OSes, and often including some bonus material, manuals, multiple versions and the like. There was a post here a couple weeks ago where people mentioned some old games that are now on sale: The MS-DOS Epic Pinball collection from the mid-90s is $1.19. I forget who mentioned this but it could have been a joke since the modern Epic Pinball was being discussedhttps://www.gog.com/en/game/epic_pinball_the_complete_collection @Peter - IK Multimedia you might have mentioned the original unreal tournaments? Windows-compatible, $2 each first one https://www.gog.com/game/unreal_tournament_goty 2004 https://www.gog.com/en/game/unreal_tournament_2004_ece 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) GOG also has this old gem "Forsaken Remastered" (2018) discounted (-65%) to $6.99. https://www.gog.com/en/game/forsaken I used to play the original PC version of Forsaken in 1998 or so, probably on a RivaTNT, a competitor to 3dfx's Voodoo2.

I never had played Descent, but from the description it sounds similar. This was way back in the days before "open worlds" were commonly used in games (the first gen Unreal Engine was released in 1998), and shooter games were mostly constrained to halls and walls, or tunnels. I really enjoyed the 6 degrees of freedom of movement and the soundtrack in Forsaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same, I understand, but the GOG page for Descent had a link to that one! I have Freespace 2 in my GOG library. Picked it up on sale at some point. Need to give it some attention! https://www.gog.com/en/game/freespace_2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
