75% off Double Dragon Trilogy, Tex Murphy, Subject 13 and more...

Ah yes, Autumn, an epoch of elegance at this juncture of seasons. Fall's stuck-up cousin, thinking it's all better and fancy. Well... maybe there is some merit to it. It's a refined term, sophisticated even. A seasoned relic from a different time. How appropriate then, that this weekend's games are the <span class="bold">Antiquities of Autumn</span>.

The Double Dragon Trilogy is retro arcade beat-em-up come home. Your home. Return to the days of "Game Over. Add Credit?", awesome co-op (powered by GOG Galaxy no less), high skill ceilings, and sometimes enemies that are just unreasonably cruel.

Tex Murphy is a series of games with all the retro design you can eat: FMV sequences, pre-rendered backdrops, and live actors aplenty. It's the story of a P.I. with a knack for trouble. In the words of Tex's designers themselves: He’s just an average guy… sometimes a little below average. He’s always in the middle of something that’s way over his head, but as he says: ‘Danger’s like jello – there’s always room for more’.

Developed by Paul Cuisset, the man behind titles like "Flashback", "Future Wars: Adventures in Time" and "Moto Racer", Subject 13 may be recent release, but it's all about classic point and click gameplay and brain-twisting puzzles.

Join us in an appreciation for the <span class="bold">Antiquities of Autumn</span>, with 75% off 30+ classic, and perhaps underappreciated, titles. The discount will last until November 25, 4:59 AM GMT

serpantino: Does the double dragon trilogy still install/require galaxy?

I don't want galaxy.
It does for multiplayer at least.

Impaler26: Nothing for me in this promo. Must save my money for the x-mas sale. :D
same here ... but i dont think there will be anything i havent got already, since i cant play 3d games (already explained why) it seems i have all the possible games i can play already, maybe if braveland release a new game, number 4 or so, or games like that then i be buying these :D

There are still lots of 3pp games out there, funny thing is, most of the companies who have these are already on GOG
secreftiles, like i mentioned before steam has all, and gamersgate aswell, they are at sales very often, 9.99 is the list per game, and if i am correct and they usally sell it at 5 or 7 euros during sales..
So if gog could convince the guys to do away with DRM (tages/steam) then the games can be run on win Xp and up.
They have more 3d games.

These secretfiles are on my topwishlist.

when i bought the game it did not, but i dont use the multiplayer, so i dont know if it needs galaxy now if you only singleplay it.

Decent promo. Can recommend Tex Murphy games and both Syberias for P&C lovers.
And maybe also Robin Hood worth to play.

vv221: I guess you meant 75*M*Hz, or you would have some diffculties to run any game on it ;)
Oops, you're right! Although, now that you mention it, I DID have some trouble running MegaRace, specifically the FMV cutscenes. It was probably because my CD-ROM drive was too slow, though...

Maxvorstadt: (..) In school we also learned autumn, but here on GoG they always used fall instead of autumn, that`s what confused me now. :-)
<dictionary>
fall = AE
autumn = BE
=)

Please bring those games to GOG!

By that I mean the original version of Flashback, not the awful remake.

gamesfreak64: 600 mb HD in the p60 area? i also never saw any drive that large in that time.
Must be a typo, cant remember drives were that big and i been around since the 286 we used that shites at school, horrible things.
I even got my wp5x certificate and lotus 123 ... on a 486 on dos and win3.11, horrible stuff :D, drives werent that large though, so 600 mb is a big no no :D
My dad bought our family its first computer in January of 1995, and its hard drive was 500-some megabytes...which turned out to be only kind of average-sized (or slightly above-average), and was already a bit on the small side a year later. 600 MB and 16 megs of RAM probably would've been more than the average computer user had at the time, but for a gaming setup, it was probably not uncommon.

yes original please, remake is horrible and is doing the orginal wrong, remake should not have been made, personaly i saw many remakes that dont justify the originals, these are only a shame on the game.
99% is 3d engined most of the time so its destroying all the things the original had.
I know nowadays we have super computers, but that should not mean all things have to go using a super 3d engine. :D

NuffCatnip: Im interested in the Atlantis games. Do I have to play the first game/s to understand whats happening in the second/third game ?
Are they good, as in, are these generic puzzle games or rather unique ? (gameplay, story etc.)
Oh, and my last question is, how long are these games ? I dont want them to be too short (1-3 hours), but they shouldnt be too long as well (13+ hours).
I like the games, but they are kind of an acquired taste.

The first one has no saves and many clunky timed sequences. Though it's so pretty that I cannot help to love it. There is also some welcome humour.

The second one is really open, really pretty and too difficult.

The third one they say it's easy.

I got them through a Groupees bundle, one of the better ones they offered.

EDIT: sorry, about the length, it's the average adventure one, around 15 hours i'd say. Maybe 20.

No, it doesn't install it anymore, but it's necessary if you want online multiplayer (you can still play local multiplayer without Galaxy).

omega64: It does for online multiplayer at least.
Fixed it for you. You don't need Galaxy for local multiplayer.
