archnemesis · « **Reply #241 on:** December 17, 2012, 03:57:36 PM »

Quest for Glory 1-5 for $2.49 is a bargain. Used disc versions will still cost you $60+ on Amazon.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #242 on:** December 17, 2012, 05:06:01 PM »

You can only get it for $2.50 is you buy all those collections together, otherwise it's $5 if you buy it separately.

archnemesis · « **Reply #243 on:** December 18, 2012, 12:28:27 AM »

It's based on some euro-comic, so it's probably a licensing deal which ran out.

I played through the whole thing just a few years ago [and this was the first time I'd ever really played it] and it was great. Still really intense.

Eric P · « **Reply #261 on:** February 13, 2013, 09:59:37 AM »

ok that's good news at least

i've picked up some games on gog which I've missed and people have raved about and they turn out to be fairly ehhhhh

thankfully they're still really inexpensive so i can just dip in and out and not feel ripped off or anything

Fifstar · « **Reply #262 on:** February 13, 2013, 10:15:15 AM »

Holds up well imo. It's a pretty polished experience overall. Complexer and less streamlined than modern games but without the jankyness of many older pc games.

cool breeze · « **Reply #263 on:** February 13, 2013, 11:45:24 AM »

Surprising since system shock 2 was one of the most wanted games but legal or technical reasons, or both, made it seem like a long shot. The NOLF series is another big one.

it holds up as well as deus ex and thief, and falls between them in terms of accessibility (deus ex being the most accessible, imo).

Clearly GoG needs to release the game in playable state for it to be sold, but I don't know if they said what method they'll use. Either way, the current best way to play it in terms of compatibility is the patch found on some french forum last year.

edit: ha, I guess that RPS story answers most of this

Eric P · « **Reply #264 on:** February 13, 2013, 12:32:39 PM »

NOLF still holds up. The second is still better than the first, but both are quite enjoyable

Well one guy of the magazine I read back than was also a translator for Lucafilm/Arts adventures (he later went on to become the german Major Nelson in the Xbox360 days), so I think they were kinda biased against other adventure games, Sierra adventures were also always 20 points worse than LucasArts adventures.
