"because it's not easy to find old games nowdays, and reliving a part of your childhood is priceless."

Agreed. I recently found Descent 1 & 2 on GOG and I was walking on air. A few hours ago I beat the Mercury Core boss, which I was never able to do back when I was little.

Gog grandma is so cute

GOG Grandma seems so much more loveable. She's so nice.

"I can't do much fancy, dearie, but here, just like you've always loved it"

Jo, remind me to send you big ol' box of chocolate or something at christmas, to say thank you for introducing me to Good Old Games :'D So many wonderful memories!

I really, really like that when EA gets upset, she gorges herself on "personal info". That was just a fantastic touch.

GOG granny is the best person in the world! <3

Her preconfigured dosboxed classics are affordable and nostialgic!

Thank you for the GOG love, they need all the support they can get!

I would love to find Warcraft orc and humans. and Flashback in gog..

@Andrew Hall I wonder how many fats does it contain

Do want, but the fact that, like Steam, you have to have a credit card or Paypal (which itself requires some form of bank account) to buy stuff means that I can't. :( /unemployedcollegestudentslament

are now getting a second chance in this one. And there are quite a few gems on GOG.

Furthermore I don't think you understand that Emulation is usually for old SYSTEMS and these are old PC games. Granted you could call some Dosbox games.. emulation (not really as it is quite a stretch to do so).

[url=#user_comment_90630]@Eli[/url] I know emulation, but some times you want to support certain companies doing good things like this. This is a hasslefree easy to install old games are great for LanParties :). Like a game of Earth 2150, or other newer games that haven't quite sold in the

Psssh, GoG? While it looks like a good idea in concept, it mainly seems like it's for the people who don't know how to emulate. Sure, actual emulation is illegal. But it's free and you can get a wider range of games'n'stuff as well as the (sometimes just as enjoyable) rom hacks.

Heh. "Personal info".

Like almost everyone big in gaming enjoys doing! You must install this in order to play your game! Why? We don't trust you. Dude i paid for you game, why else am i having to deal with your drm, by having to install this needlessthing! For you are a thief! What the fuck dude!

With out gog, i would never have been able to play games like Temple of Elemental evil for only 6 bucks and drm free! And many other old games, they sold as well. Gog, is treating me like i am paying for your game and not treating me like i am a good no thief.

And yes gog does have Planescape. Along with many other old dungeons and dragons games. Like Temple of Elemental Evil, a game which has aged very well. Some games age well and others, well they just don't. If we lived in a perfect world, every game would be drm free like gog.

Gog, is like the very old days of gaming. Where drm was not the crazy shit we have today, with ubisoft and blizzard's diablo 3. Back when things where only enter a code or have a disk check. These lesser forms of drm, that didn't get in our way of gaming or say one day you couldn't play your game.

Wow! GOG IS just like my grandma! She does things the old-fashioned way, and reminds me of the best parts of my childhood.

Also she lied about her imminent death for attention.

Problem finding old games?

Problem solved.

[url=#user_comment_90428]@gfox[/url]: As for the PS:T, you could always buy it on the DVD, but do not expect fancy stuff such as manual. Oh and the discs are poor quality (I only bough it last year and its already unreadable).

[url=#user_comment_90428]@gfox[/url]: Probably some insecurity about aging, fear of commitment etc. You know, the usual. X-Com imo did not age very well, but even then its better than most of the later attempts.

[url=#user_comment_90428]@gfox[/url]: Eyup, they do have Planescape - and pretty much every other good old D&D game. Only way I could try that game, as I didn't even have a PC when Torment came out.

[url=#user_comment_90344]@SilverJakler[/url]: inb4 Xbox having narcolepsy and PSN having thier house broken into every other comic.

[url=#user_comment_90428]@gfox[/url]: Yes, they have Planescape Torment.

@Great Biotic Wind: Oh, and re: the "mid-life crisis" comment... what about those of us in our 30s who've never stopped playing DOS games in the first place? Is our whole life a mid-life crisis? :::pops in some Faith No More and plays X-Com:::

Hey Godot, does GOG really have Planescape Torment? One of my original CD-ROMs of that is cracked (literally cracked) and I can't play it anymore. I'm a loyal Steamhead, but I'd give GOG a try if they do have Planescape Torment. :::drools:::

GOG: "All your games are belong to us"
Me: As you wish *Plays some Good 'ol games*

i think it would be funny to do a onlive and desura comic as well with netflicks looking at them when they announced that they were going to do a pc game service then just randomly desided that it wasnt going to happen

I'd like to see human versions of Xbox Live and PSN, that would be cool

[url=#user_comment_90278]@Scorch_Mechanic[/url]: well im sold

[url=#user_comment_90278]@Scorch_Mechanic[/url] And they were damn good cookies.

Gog never has the games I want. So I'm sticking with Steam.

I was at PAX.
The Good Old Games booth babe was an actual factual grandmother, handing out cookies.

Yes, really.
It was awesome.

GOG is GOD. End of discussion. :D

Can people stop hating on the mullet, doesn't look that bad...

@ Pervert
you keep your hands of GRANNY! She is our Hero with no DRM and making the cookies just like we are used too! If you touch granny you touch us all! :D ;)

And Granny has No DRM! GRANNY POWER!!!

GoG-tan (obatama, maybe?) is indeed the cuddliest of all digital distribution-tans. She may not be sleek or sexy like Steam-tan, but you can't beat that nostalgic matronly warmth. Plus, she's not clingy, abusive, or invasive in the slightest. DRM-free is the way to be.

I suppose if you really like classics, you should try searching for abandonware. Those are reeeeally classic, tho...

Oh, God, this is just grand!

I claim GoG and will now go plow her in the closet

Ah, classics. Kids should always respect their elders.

I thought their boobs were supposed to be bigger the more games they have.

Steam's should be HUGE!

GoG has no DRM and really has no serious terms to accept beyond pretty standard "you are buying a game online" stuff. What's all this "accept whatever GoG gives you" BS?

What do you mean, "you have to accept whatever GoG gives you?" GoG has no DRM at all - you buy it, you download it, you install it, no hassles.

GoG rocks.

[url=#user_comment_90154]@Jayke[/url]: You are right. Then again, it was early in the morning around these parts and I did not get much sleep last night. That said, I do believe there is actually some truth about what I wrote earlier.

Grandma's cookies :3

Still love you Steam, but dem cookies are to die for.

@Great Biotic Wind: Dude, that troll gets like a C-, and that's with effort. Try harder! Believe in me who believes in YOU!

Great punchline. GoG rocks too.

Great, now I have to go to GOG and buy Fallout (and 2).

You should add (in my order of preference) Impulse/GameStop PC Downloads (make it a half-Impulse, half-Gamestop girl), Gamersgate, Direct2Drive, Desura, Games For Windows Live, OnLive, Green Man Gaming, Get Games, Amazon and BigFish.

I guess compatibility is the main thing here.Still, I couldn't buy an old game for that much without feeling a bit ripped off, especially when newer ones (2004-2009) can be found for less.

GoG also has no DRM, and the downloader is optional. You can, at anytime, download a generic installer for any of the games in your GoG library. It merely installs the game, and like someone mentioned, it's sometimes amazing that they've got these games working on modern systems!

Awww yeah. Though physical games are... well, I prefer 'em on consoles. No disc-changing-stuff.
Oh well. Steam's pride needs to enlarge even further.

Thanks so much for showing me this site, I truly love old school games!

I do love the classics, heck I still have some of my PS1 games in their original packages.On a side note, steam-chan is still my favorite

[url=#user_comment_90071]@HeavyTank[/url]: You can get water for free in any river and yet people pay for bottled water. Commodity and security goes a long way in opening people's pockets.

[url=#user_comment_90071]@HeavyTank[/url]: Mostly, you pay for the service. GOG takes old games that don't work in, say, Windows 7, makes them work in new systems, and sells them in a nice DRM-free package you can redownload anytime. 'sides, some games age just fine - Rayman 1 forever, bitches :P

If you want old games checke out lukie games.

p.s. Jo could've made GOG character a classy lady with a big bust and glasses with some classic dress leaving no skin visible. Old games are old but they sure are awesome.

GOG grandma is the best! She can beat both Steam and Origin and make some cookies while doing so. Old games were so much better (though there are some awesome modern games, there were much more before eks-bawks and CO kicked in).

I know this is probably a pipe dream, but when Good Old Games gets Crimson Skies into its library I will die a happy man (at a ripe old age still playing Crimson Skies)

While I appreciate what GoG is doing, I still don't understand why anyone would want to PAY for an age-old game that should be free, or priced around 1-2$ in the first place, especially if you already have it on an old CD or floppy.
Let's face it, games don't age as well as movies do..

Grandma looks like Mrs Orange!

Finding a comic that I swear to god is based off of one of my comments is eerie, though GOG is older than I pictured.

Still, spread the word. It's still the only place that has the Infinity Engine games for digital download, plus everything else worth playing that we played over ten years ago.

I was wondering who is actually buying all those ancient games.
Oh well, I guess guys hit by mid life crisis sometimes do much sillier things than playing DOS games.

Nice visual pun with the "ice cream". Almost better than the comic's actual punchline ;-)

Battlefield 3: $60
Counter Strike Source: $20
Team Fortress 2: Free
GoG: $5 to $10

Being able to play the Tex Murphy games without having to swap discs and living out a missed opportunity of an excellent game: Priceless.

i never knew GoG existed. they have a lot of good clasic games. luckily for me i keep all my old CD-roms from my old days but those prices are really good. It reminded me about the lack of a psychonauts 2 though. I would love it if they made a new Episodic Psychonauts game

Yes! GOG is my DDS platform of choice, and has been for a long time. Also, google image search "Good Old Games PAX Booth Babes."

EA fucks with your money, your legal rights and your personal info.
Why anybody would install origin I have no idea.

PLOT TWIST hehehe. This just keeps getting better and better. :)

I disagree, there are plenty sites that have old games and don't involve torrenting.

awwww :(

FIRST!!!

The mullet is back!
