As our catalog gets bigger and better every week, it’s easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. We’ve been running one day “Gaming Gem” promos for a while now to highlight some classic titles that don’t get the love of some of our best-known blockbusters like Baldur’s Gate or Duke Nukem 3D. To celebrate summer, for the next two weeks until July 25th, we’re going to run a Gaming Gem promo every day, so you can rediscover these lesser-known classics! Grab that plastic toy shovel and dig out gem after gem over the next 18 days. We think every game we’re going to be offering on our Summer GOG.com Gem Extravaganza will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

Good morning. My name is Dirk Smartly, and here’s your news for the day.

The fight between the United Civilised States and the Eurasian Dynasty continues to rage. NEO, our political overlord, advises us that our valiant robots in blue will shortly overcome the rampaging forces of the spineless Eurasian Dynasty. NEO also has instructed me to tell you that rumors that the huge atomic explosion that the treacherous ED purports to have set off on the North Pole has certainly not knocked the earth out of orbit, sending it spiralling into the sun in a path of fiery destruction and ruin which will end with all of us screaming in agony as the atmosphere overheats and boils our very flesh away.

In other—entirely unrelated!—news, our friends the Lunar Corporation are attempting to build a massive ship that can hold millions of people and animals and are intending to send it on an interplanetary journey to a destination that is not hurtling into the sun at unbelievable speeds. If, that is, there was a place that was doing that. Operators are standing by to take applicants for this daring and adventurous cruise across the vacuum of space, so call now!

Finally, we want you to know that the UCS is recruiting! For a trivial price of $2.39 you can enter your application, download our command and control packet from GOG.com, and take the fight to the enemy with our cleverly titled "Earth 2150 Trilogy” simulation software package. Revel in its stunning 3D glory! Gasp in astonishment at the graphics, the innovative in-game unit creator, and the flexible tactics you can use to defeat your foes! Be dazzled by the cunning and treachery of your opponents in either single- or muti-player battles! Help varied factions fight to preserve the very future of humanity itself!

The UCS only offers this new commander application program on sale for the next 24 hours, so be sure to pick up the gem from our local vendor GOG.com before this promotion runs out, and check in tomorrow to see what’s for sale on GOG.com!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to see if the Lunar Corporation has any need for a dashingly handsome and talented newsreader like me.

Does it feel hot in here to you?

Fujek: Just take the route of every sensible individual. Blame it on GOG and have her hunt down and beat up TheEnigmaticT instead. After all, a PR manager got to take some beating for his company ;)

TheEnigmaticT: If anyone asks, I'm the guy who looks exactly like Cook. :P
I see what you did there, Mister ;p
I'm not really interested in this one.

Come on, Longest Journey!
Ooh, I've somehow completely overlooked this game. I'm crazy about good RTS's (not Blizzard ones), but I have never even heard about this one.
I have and liked 2160. Is this one as good or better?

KOCollins: Hidden is the right word for this, until now I didn't know it existed...That's what makes GOG great, its got smash blockbusters and fog shrouded wonders. :)

CaptainGyro: that's every dd site out there


/buzzkill
Well I suppose that is true...but do I really need to get into what really makes GOG different and not just Great? DRM free, and the fact that many of these games you Can Not get on any other site...That along with Staff that sticks out their tounges all the time, and a community that rocks the juke box!?...GOG is the site I get almost all of my games from any more...So I'm not feeling the Buzzkill dude. :P
*Flies on the clouds of GOG flufflinessness....It's a great ride.

I could seriously totally buzzkill that antibuzzkill in response, but I'm not going to

Ah, ok. That very beautiful millionaire's daughter just asked me where and how she'd find that handsome TheEnigmaticT. I'll tell her that it's that Cook guy she's looking for *grins evil*

Cook: ;p

And then I would so for sure have to burn that antibuzzkilling buzzkill, because you know I so could.
GOG is Da-Bomb 8-p

I dont know how are you guys with it, but I'd rather want the beautiful millionaire than her daughter.

tburger: But in this specific game: what does "victory" mean...?

Thiev: More points for the Wallet?
But It's a bitter victory, don't you think? :-)
After today's promo Wallet wins by 1 point.
