"Good Old Games"

There should be a demo out there somewhere if you want to test out Dragonshard, I recall playing it back in 2005 or so. It was okay, but I was more into WC3 at the time.

Thanks Kerzain but I just went ahead and bought it, always was interested in the game and it’s under $10.00 now so no major risk.
I really like the Spellforce games and Warcraft 3 so if it has any of that kind of RTS/RPG magic going for it I’ll be happy.

I was really excited hearing this till I realized I’ve bought all of the games there except Dragonshard, maybe it’s time to give that one a test drive.

Same here. Except the part to try Dragonshard.

OMG guys, GoG is having an anniversary promo for their DnD games!

I’ve been WAITING for these bad boys to go on sale. Just got 'em all for like, $26 (60% off). Wheeee!

I already own 6 of those but those are great deals for great games.

Try as I might, I can never convince my brain to separate that compound word between the “N” and the “S.”

I was just about to post the same thing. “Coming soon to a theater near you: Dragon’s Hard!”

Excellent. My patience has paid off.

Don’t really care about Dragonshard and Demonstone, but the price difference is something like 30 cents, so why not?

And all this time I’ve been thinking “Dragonshart” when I see it, which is kind of nasty.

DTG · 2011-09-22T19:49:21.000Z

Bah! I always read it as Dragon Shard. Lazy eye, lazy brain. No worries…I admit I had never heard of it until GOG put it up.

Yep, I sprung for the entire set of games. I have all but the Demon Stone and Dragonshard games on their original media, but grabbing them all in a collection might get me to replay some of those classics sometime. Perfect time to pick 'em up if you’re missing any.

I’ve been to a few different forums talking about this sale and right across the board I don’t know how many people said the same thing…you know who the underachievers in this group were lol.

Hawkeye_Fierce · 2011-09-24T05:37:38.000Z

I bought them all, despite owning nearly all of them, because if I want to replay them I don’t want to have to dig through my closets looking for the original discs.

Charlatan · 2011-09-24T05:51:03.000Z

Woah what a great deal. If you’re going to get 6 or so of them, the incremental cost for the rest is like a buck each.

So I’m looking forward to trying Demons Tone and Dragons Hard!

Robert_Sharp · 2011-09-24T08:48:14.000Z

I really wish Troika had held on and used that engine on a real module. I just can’t bring myself to play through the beginning of TOEE. Why couldn’t they have done the Giants modules instead?

unska · 2011-09-24T08:56:58.000Z

Have you played Dungeon Keeper 1?

Robert_Sharp · 2011-09-24T09:02:41.000Z

Yes, but I don’t understand the question. It’s a completely different game.

Chris_Nahr · 2011-09-25T00:31:31.000Z

Psst. It’s a spammer trying to get 50 posts.

amandachen · 2011-09-25T00:59:19.000Z

Maybe he’s posting in a vacuum and just asking if Dungeon Keeper’s good. It’s good but a bit old.

GOG has just permadropped the price on Tropico Reloaded (i.e. the first two Tropico games) and Patrician 3, both to $5.99. I love Tropico: Pirate Cove. More games should include slavery and kidnapping.

Syzygy · 2011-09-25T01:06:07.000Z

ToEE is considered to be one of the best 1e modules. Is your problem with the module or the game’s implementation of it?

I know Tom was a fan back when it came out. Liquid also made Battle Realms, another RTS he enjoyed.

Now that’s a game I’d like to see on GOG. I never had the opportunity to play the expansion and I always liked what they were trying to do with their training mechanic.
