Wait, part of the fun is to not be playing the games you purchase? That doesn't make any damn sense to me, but I guess people have different opinions about what is considered "fun".
Also, Empire Earth: Gold is free for the next 48 Hours
@The_Hiro_Abides: Yeah, seems like shit's getting hammered right now. Took me a few minutes just to get to checkout.
@ZeForgotten: Haha, I was just kiddin'. It's actually sort of dumb, but I can't help it. I do it with Steam sales as well. I'll play most of them at some point, but some of these will be on the backlog for a long time.
Grabbed a few games I've been wanting for a while.. Ceaser 3, Populous 2, Simon the Sorcerer and some of the Ultima games.
Probably would have bought a few more if I had more spare cash, but the Steam sales should be starting soon too. Oh, and Empire Earth is a great game, everyone should get that while it's free.
Btw has anyone played Sacrifice? Unfortunately I haven't picked that up back in the day and ive heard good things about it. Hopefully it stands the test of time.
Actually I am so tempted to get a bunch of the Interplay RPGs, but I havent even gotten past the first area of Planescape Torment when I bought it months ago.
I really want to play Fallout 2, but I don't want to deal with how difficulty worked in old PC games. Is there a piss-easy difficulty I can hit so I can just have fun in the story? The old obligatory min-maxing and quicksaving/quickloading every turn to make sure it goes perfect doesn't interest me anymore.

Yeah, both Fallout games have difficulty.
I'm replaying Fallout 1 right now and it runs great, looks pretty cool with the high res mod, and isn't impenetrable with it's difficulty at all. And I'm playing on normal. Could go down even lower to easy. Worth going through, imo.
@hwy_61: I legitimately love the Soviet and Nuclear Strike games for the Playstation. They are on the American PSN (at least) if you really want them but you might want to watch a couple minutes of this lets play first (void of annoying voice over thank god).
@evildeadron@damswedon Good point. How about your FAVORITE FMV games??
Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh is all sorts of great and only $3.
And by that you mean "great", right? Because from what I've seen of Spoony's LP, it seems like it even out-FMVs the first Phantasmagoria, for as hard as that sounds coming off Dave and Vinny's accidental LP.
Personally, I've already made myself victim to GOG sales too many times, so it was fairly easy to actually stay in my personal limit this time... mostly because I already have pretty much everything of note. I got myself some Ultima, some Wing Commander, and Dungeon Keeper 2, which doesn't seem to want to run on my system. And already, almost immediately, Ultima VII has shown itself to have pretty much every old game anachronism seemingly designed to specifically bug me. Will continue playing though.
Rayman 2 and 3 for 3$ each. Well....rayman 2 basically REQUIRES a gamepad and the xpadder program. Keyboard only, and you can't remap the controls. As well as pretty good games like shogo or XIII. Can't really pass it up. If you don't already own some version of it, 3$ for the original duke isn't half bad
And...not sure if the sale is still there, but 23$ for both witcher games the past few days was pretty amazing.

Like its been said before, all FMV games are "great" and Phantasmagoria 2 is up there.
Also, you can watch Spoony's LP if you want. It is a pretty linear game and you pretty much see most of what the game has to offer from that...other than the nudity of course. However there are a few things he missed and if you are curious or bored you can check it out yourself.
