   Cheers Mark and as tempting as this is I would love my awesome rose coloured nostalgia to stay just that 🙂

      Yer.. I love Populous…. I tried the indie game “Reprisal” which is based on it.. but it’s just not the same.. nothing ever will.. unless they make a proper remake.

      But that’s what is so great about GOG: for less than $10, you can get the whole Wing Commander saga, in DRM-free, 100% Windows (XP, Vista, 7) and Mac OS X (10.6.8 or newer) compatible goodness!

   If only I wasn’t $15 overdrawn..

   Oh well, I’ll just buy the few I don’t already have when they’re off sale, they’re worth the full price

   Not kidding around at all guys but you should definitely get both Dungeon Keeper games for $5.
   HOURS, LITERALLY HOURS OF FUN.

      I think they have also got it working on 7 now? DK2 used to be a bitch to get going on Windows 7.

         Correct. Dungeon Keeper II works in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Also, if you install GameRanger, you can quickly and easily set up multiplayer online Dungeon Keeper II game sessions, too.

         I recommend anyone who hasn’t yet to get on Dungeon Keeper II and Theme Hospital – two amazing games on sale for under $2.50 each.

   You can sign up for emails from GOG telling you of their weekly sales. Most of these sales are from Friday to Monday; this one included.

   So much nostalgia but I’ve found half of them aren’t as much fun second (or third) time around. Still I know I won’t be able to help myself and I’ll have to pick up at least one or two.

    I picked up Sim City 2000. It’s still great (just turn off the music!)
