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.

You're so cynical.

Well then I'm thankful I don't even have a bank account :)
Sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Kabuto still sit on my shelf.
Might be time for an 11th...
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!)
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 know I did :D
Glory old days of Carmageddon 2
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....
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.
Well, I'm broke now, even after missing the Stardock sale (Someday, Galac Civ II, You will be mine!)
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.
