With so many and great selection of game gems I just can't believe you do not have Lands of Lore on your list yet? :o You have Legend of Grimrock already and many other RPGs so I think you will love this game. It's kind of dungeon crawler but at it's best and story is nice written. Also visuals are still nice, smooth and great I think.

The other game I would recommend is Trine - it is like "good old" platform game but with modern and nice surprises and very cool graphical effects. It is also the game for whole family I can say.

I'm going to have to follow several others and suggest Trine as well. I haven't finished playing it with my girlfriend but we both really like the puzzles and physics.

As a completely oddball suggestion how about Second Sight? Its a short little shoorter but I quite enjoyed it.

I suggest Return to Zork as it is a fun game with a great soundtrack. After beating it I put the game disc in with my music discs rather than the rest of my games. You might want to look up the one issue that makes people give up the game if you don't mind spoilers. It makes the game unwinnable later on if you don't do it right.
You already own most anything else I have a personal opinion on. I have heard good things about Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri from some of my friends though. If your interested in turn based strategy games then it might be worth getting.

Star Control 2 is incredibly awesome. It's a fun, utterly non-linear space "opera" which plays largely as an adventure game as you go discovering new civilizations (Earth was enslaved in the past and you are trying to set it free), new technologies, picking up resources, upgrades for you flagship, companion ships, memorable characters and races and best of all the story and the "villains". And it's all glued together by the "melee" space battles. The thing is, the source code has been released and you can get a very polished fan patched version here: http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

If you can get into it (its a bit dated) Darklands is a very, very deep and true RPG.

Deus Ex. What else can I say, take System Shock 2, replace the cyberpunkish desolate and futuristic ship with a cyberpunkish, conspiracy-laden futuristic romp through several cities AND tons of characters (ie. the mechanics are largely the same, the inventory, the way you interact with the world, the RPG elements). The devs in that game where all about the little details, and its immensely satisfying how they thought ahead of you. That means you can do things or kill characters and the game will be ready for it changing future events or at least acknowledging your actions in conversations (it remains a linear story though, only bifurcating at the very end) and furthermore, it offers several ways to tackle enemies and objectives... all held in place by a tight and cool story of uncovering mega conspiracies. What's more, if you are left hungry for more (and you will), you can go out of your GOGish way to get Human Revolution which was, surprisingly decent and faithful to the first (in fact it improved upon the first one, in the stealth department above all).

Anachronox . Ah, the western JRPG. This game doesn't take itself seriously, at all. And yet, it works! It's a very funny game set in a somewhat weird future world. You are, essentially a space detective with a wiseass demeanour, but things aren't going your way... until you get hired to recover an ancient technological artifact. Oh, mysterious cyberpunkish, tongue-in-cheek pseudo noiresque story follows! Though I find the main plot to be more about meeting memorable characters and having a few laughs than anything else (in my opinion). Sadly it ends in a cliffhanger and I don't think we'll get Anachronox 2 anytime soon.

MESSIAH is a cyberpunk (sheesh, was that all the rage back in the 90s) adventure with third person shooter mechanics. What sets it apart is the feature of "possessing" all NPCs available (humanoid or not!). You see, you are a Cherub sent by God (though you never heard from Him once you reach Earth!) to put things right in decadent Earth. Your main ability (besides flying) is entering peoples bodies and taking over them, which gives you their particular abilities and inventory, which are necessary to advance through different areas. As you advance the plot you will discover who is behind Earth's decadence... The main gripe I have against this one is it has several platformer sections...

Seriously?! You have Ultima VII, you have Arx Fatalis, you have the Might & Magic games and Stonekeep, you don't have Ultima Underworld I & II and you still need other people to tell you what to buy? Didn't you enjoy the setting of Ultima? Or any of those other dungeon crawlers? If you like Arx Fatalis, you might also be interested in where it's coming from, what game it pays hommage to. So it's a must have from a collector's or game historian's point of view but it's also lots of fun if you like 3D exploration.

And while you're at it, also get Lands of Lore 1 & 2, especially the first part is a worthy inofficial successor to the Eye of the Beholder series, with beautifully drawn VGA graphics, a quite nice story and - an automap! ;)

So unless you really hate dungeon crawlers (but the fact that you already pre-ordered Legend of Grimrock tells me you don't), then you should consider getting these 4 classic games for only $11.98. If, like me, you loved Arx Fatalis and Eye of teh Beholder 2, I think you will enjoy these, too.

You have a really big collection, but its missing:

1. Tex Murphy Overseer. If you liked UaKM and PD, you'll love this remake of mean streets. It's classic stuff, dark noir comedy gold.

2. Fallout Tactics. Yes, it is not F1/F2, but FT did retain a lot of that dark interplay flavor that F3 didn't have. It'll keep you a little satisfied until Wasteland.

The first thing I can think to recommend would be Alone in the Dark. Which on GOG is the original collect which is game one, two, and three. It is a amazing deal for the price it is and the games are really fun.

After looking through your list in depth another game I have that I would highly recommend is Populous 2. This game is great, starts out easy and ends up getting harder and harder. This is one of those games where you play as a god kind of person making people praise you and making your armies wipe out your enemies. I've spent so much time in that game figuring things out, leveling land, and mastering powers. I noticed you had Dungeon keeper two on the list, if you like that game you would probably like this one, it is kind of similar and made by the same people.

Mentioning Dungeon Keeper 2 I think that you should probably get Dungeon Keeper one as well. While I think the 2nd one is better to me, the first one is still amazingly good. The game is great and since you have experience with the 2nd one the first one should be a little easier to work with.

Postal 2
out of all of the open world games i have played, this one was just funny. you can do and complete the objectives in anyway possable. the weapons are fun to use and though its not the best its still fun. i would also recomend the a week in paradice mod because it adds the apollips weekend weapons along with other goodies(note the expantion mentioned above is kind of iffy)

Farcry
This is also a fun game but it can be difficult due to the somewhat smart to very intelegent ai.
it has some of the same princables as postal 2 with you can choose how to approch certant areas in the game. There are also mods for this game too but i dont know much about them.

The 2 games that I would reccomend for you would be:

Thief GOLD: not just because it's a fantastic game, but because I really believe that it's one of those games that every person should experience, regardless if they like the genre or not

Trine: A really great indie game that was just released here, I already wrote a review for it so you can read it and make up your own mind

Hope this helps and thanks for the giveaway!

Oddworld: Strangers Wrath.

Remember Abe, how you had to escape a factory that risked you becoming tommorrow's lunch and rescue your fellow enslaved? He's not in this.

Remember Munch, that weird mutant fish looking guy who was almost certainly incredibally edible? He's not in this either.

Who is in this? A stranger. This is Oddworld, and it's nothing like you remember. With a mysterious illness your one goal is money. Lots of money, cash, moolah, greenbacks, to pay for your treatment. How do you go about getting alot of money quickly? Bounty hunting of course! But then, you need a gun. And guns don't come easy, nor do bullets. You know what works better? Angry squirrels, twitchy spiders, ravenious spine balls with teeth, skunks, shot from your crossbow.

This is an open world game with some mild platforming and switches from first person shooting to third person running, getting into cover, and simply bare knuckle combat like nature intended. This game can easily be as mean as the old Oddworld games, and it's your choice how much meaner you get when your life is on the line, the target's in your sight, and two creatures in your crossbow. Do you hit the kill trigger, or the capture trigger? Clock's ticking, and you better make your move.




Dungeon Keeper

This one is for you if you enjoy RTS games. You have to manage a dungeon of imps, crawlers, demons, expansion of said dungeon, funding of said dungeon and imps demons ect ect, and killing your foe. I'm not going to get too fancy with the writing, so I'll let this person do the talking for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPt8jKprbVA



Alone in the Dark 1+2+3

This series is the precursor to all horror games made after it. Claustrophobic environments, easy deaths, creepy atmosphere, puzzles, and three whole games who's purpose is to to see you very, very, dead. Plus, three games for the price of one, what beats that?


By the way, I think it's my duty to point out a couple more games to try that aren't on GOG, though wether that means a used copy or Steam is up to you.

Majesty: A Fantasy Sim

"Your Majesty, the Palace is under seige!!!" is a phrase you'll learn to love much, much more than you should. A non-traditional RTS game, as king you rule how to build your kingdom, from the heroes that populate it to the markets and services you provide. But don't be fooled, because like any king, you can't just force someone to do something. The people wander your towns of their own free will, the economy working without you, the heroes going off on their own, while monsters surround you on every side. So who will defend your kingdom? Will you take the stout, brave and loyal warriors guild? How about the rangers who will support other heroes, and love to explore the unexplored? Maybe the Rouges guild, full of lovable little bastards who's only loyalty is gold wherever they can find it. And balance that out with the Wizards, easy to kill but destined to destroy the world should they live long enough to master the spells in the local Library. Will you take on the slummish worker gnomes, the hard hitting and hard building Dwarves, or the carefree gambling archers in the elves? But those aren't all the heroes. The barbarian followers of Krome, the healing pristesses of Alegra, the wicked necromancer priesteses of Krypta, the monks of Dauros, the cultist druids of Fervus, the swift runners of Lunord, or the mace weilding amazons of Helia? Not all of them get along, and you have to decide who's the best chance for your kingdom. The taxes have been collected, it's time to decide your fate as king.



The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind

Considered one of the best in the series, this was the first to remove the random map aspect of the game in favor of a constant map, allowing for a heavy detail to story and atmosphere. Morrowind is a strange place, from the Red Mountain that summons Ash Storms across the land, to the southern beaches where mushrooms stand tall as trees, to the forested east and the barren norths. This series focused on you being what you want to be. Don't want to follow the main story? Screw it then! There's much more to see than that. Voted Game of the Year in... 2001 I believe, this game includes a creation kit allowing you to build towns, lands, cities, peoples, books, spells, weapons, whatever, allowing you to change the world as you want, or simply make your own. While a bit dated, it's still a wonderfully designed game, with excellent music and a vast story and world to it, if you care enough to look for it.

Some warning to this game: Unlike the future titles, this one relies on hidden rolls. That means that accuracy and skill can sometimes mean little against those rolls. It also has a few bugs, but there are many many fan made patches and fixes and mods to the game that do everything from making it look as pretty as Oblivion to changing the world as you know it.

Great suggestions so far everyone...I haven't had time to go through this yet, but I can see from the amount of responses thus far that I may have to add a couple more free games to the winners! Some of them I've somehow missed on GOG ("Oddworld: Strangers Wrath" I didn't even know existed, for example).

I'm heading in to work, but tomorrow morning I'll start updating everyone's suggestions so we can all keep track of what's been recommended.

If you liked Jagged Alliance 2 then you could get some more of that with Jagged Alliance 2 - Unfinished Business and Jagged Alliance 2 - Wildfire. And you might as well get the original Jagged Alliance while you're there. Personally I'm a huge fan so I got all 5 games here on GOG and will recommend them any time I get the chance!

You may also want to check out the UFO series here on GOG. Not actual TBS but more of a pause/play type of games but it's a nice homage to X-Com.

A final suggestion: Kingpin - a FPS that when I played it really took me by surprise. Not only by being brutal/real but the main character wasn't some hero, but a thug out to take revenge and rule the streets. It always stuck with me this game even if I'm not a big FPS fan.

As I you like adventure games I will recomend three:

-The Last Express. Another great game by Jordan Mechner. Set in the pre World War I era, you travel in the last orient express and meet diffent characters that represent what will become the war.

-The Whispered World. One of the best adventure games of the last years. You play as Sadwick , the sorrow clown, and his companion Spot, a caterpillar who can take differents form, in a fantastical world.

- Tex Murphy Overseer. The last installment of this series. Tex explains to Chelsee, while they are in a date, the adventures he had in the first game. So this is kind of a remake.

I am trying to go for the more hidden gem angle - things that haven't been mentioned and are, I think, a bit in the shadows of the more prominent well known games (none of them are in the top 100 of the best seller list, most far below).

Perimeter: My biggest surprise here, really, as a game purchase. I hadn't heard about it before, but oh - I love the unconventional way the story is told [it's somewhat experimental - you need to invest at least a little], I love how it looks / feels and plays - and I am not at all a RTS fan! It's a truly beautiful game that deserves more attention.

1nsane: Yes. Because you don't have much arcade racing games in your list - and here's a quite early 3D game that actually did it well. It's a bit silly, it's not overly deep, but it's chaotic and oh oh so much fun. You can take - most of the time - whatever route you want, going up and down hills and merrily cheating (but not ignoring) physics. It's a purely nice little mad thing.

Space Rangers 2: Dominators: One game. Or five. The oddest mixture to come out since ages - a space based fighting game, a trading simulation, a real time strategy game, a collection of awesome text adventures, a top-down arcade shooter - and the mix just works. Granted - there's a more complete edition available out there (including the expansion pack with many more text adventures) - but even the base game is really really good already and so so worth it. The only thing even remotely close is Star Control II - but that's only a very very loose comparison. [Other people already recommended Star Control 2 - which is definitely awesome, too.]

You already have most (if not almost all) of the games I can recommend, so this is rather tough, but I see you have not gotten Police Quest series. Granted I only played PQ1, PQ3, and PQ4 in the past, but based on the great cop simulations inside I heartily recommend you the Police Quest 1+2+3+4. My favorite was PQ3.

For the tile-based (step-by-step movement) first-person perspective dungeon romp, I'd definitely suggest Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos. It is bundled with Lands of Lore 2 here on GOG. Seeing that you pre-order Grimrock, I am sure you will like Lands of Lore as well. I honestly have not tried (nor do I own) Lands of Lore 2 though.

Gorky 17. Lite RPG with chess-like tactical turn-based battle. Nice little gem there.

Advent Rising. If you like Jedi powers chances are you like Advent Rising.
