GOG's Interplay sale will make your wallet cry photo

Good Old Games is having a 50% off sale for all the 32 Interplay games in their library. Each game is now only $2.99 until July 4th, and you can buy all of them for $95.68 although the only benefit of that not clicking 32 times.

What games did Interplay release again, you might ask? All the Descent, Redneck Rampage, Earthworm Jim, Fallout, MDK and Freespace games for starters! Other notables include: Screamer, Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, Kingpin: Life of Crime, Jagged Alliance 2, Messiah, Sacrifice, and last but not least Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

If for some reason you never played any of these, then first of all: what is wrong with you? Second, buy Freespace 2 right now! And grab Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Sacrifice next, as those are still among the most creative games in PC history.

And Shogo. And Fallout. And.... just go look at the entire list yourself, and breathe in the nostalgia that brings you back to the time where you pointed and laughed at your friends with their N64s and PlayStations.

[Thanks mrandydixon!]

Sometimes I feel lucky not to have a credit card. Or at least my pocket does.

Oh the sweet sweet memories I have of Freespace 2. One of the few games that still gets me all tingly.

There was a time when Interplay ruled PC's.

Sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Kabuto still sit on my shelf.

Sadly, nothing I could even pretend to want other than the Fallout games, which I already own and have played 10 times over.

Might be time for an 11th...

What Magnalon said!

Also, I might have to pick up Kingpin again. That game was pretty brutal, if I remember correctly. (And I already own most of the rest!)

MDK and Giants are bought. I'm not broke, but pretty close.

It is a luxury I could never afford, really. But I make it by with a ton of good games and live to tell the tale, so whatevs.

I think I'll follow suit shortly. I have such a ridiculous backlog.... Although, would these count as backlog? I mean, I did beat both way way back in the day....

wow shogo and Giants: Citizen Kabuto. i always wanted to play those back in the day but i dont think my pc was up to snuff at the time. but i do still have the PCgamer demo discs with them on there.

actually i have about 30 PCgamer demo discs from the 90's.
anyone want them? if so msg me. or if i get enough requests maybe ill have to think of a contest.

they also include tons of coconut monkey stuff on them too.

I got rid of all my PC Gamer demo discs five years or so ago (stupid), but god damn did I used to love Coconut Monkey.

Still have every issue ever produced and all but one of the demo discs for PC Accelerator, though. Best gaming rag ever made.

I'm down to play a classic or two for the first time... do I need to play the first Freespace to appreciate the plot of the 2nd one?

I might hop on JA:2. Lost my disc a long time ago. Might as well refresh my skills before the reboot comes.

Holy crap, Die By the Sword? Someone besides me still remembered that game EXISTS? And MDK?

Well, I'm broke now, even after missing the Stardock sale (Someday, Galac Civ II, You will be mine!)

It pains me to know that the same devs that made Freespace 2 make those shitty Red Faction games.

Hey wow, a lot of those games came out on Linux back when Loki was still porting. JA2 is essential gaming.

Maurice Tan's Avatar - Comment posted on 06/20/2011 22:37

M47R1X asks the key question. It's listed as published by Atari on GOG.com and there's probably some story behind it that involves regional publishing rights or whatnot, which doesn't change the fact that it's not on sale :(

BOOOOO... well, complaining about it won't help. I had hoped that they would have overlooked that little bit, but I guess it can't be helped. Stupid Atari...

If you have never played Fallout 1 or 2 then yes, definitely worth it. That's about 25 hrs of fun for FO1 and 45+ for FO2, depending on play style.
