Good Old Games Goes Public
Andy Butler | 12:46 PM on 10.23.2008 8 comments




The public beta for the fantastic classic gaming download service Good Old Games has started today. If you weren't one of the lucky few to get a closed beta key let me clue you in to what you have been missing out on. Remember all the games you used to love? Fallout 1 & 2, Freespace, Earthworm Jim and a personal favorite of mine Battle Chess? GOG sells all of these and many, many more for the extremely low price of either $5.99 or $9.99 depending on the game. All of the titles are completely DRM free, are Vista compatible and are supported by a fantastic customer service department. I really cannot praise these guys enough for giving me back all the games I used to love but can no longer run due to hardware conflict issues. So head on over and peruse the catalog of gaming nirvana.

Nice, I've been in the beta for a while now and I really like the service.

If you want to play any of the Fallout games without a hitch then this is for you.

x2!

It is a great site as I was in the early beta as well!

You can not beat the prices for these games and you also get neat little downloads for each game you purchase such as MP3 audio files, wallpapers....etc

If they get Grim Fandango, I will shit myself.

I wish I was kidding.
