After a week long Twit-a-thon via some subtle (and some not-so-subtle) tweets, Good Old Games have announced that they are bringing classic Apogee titles, including Duke Nukem 3D to their protection-free geriatric software love fest...

Wait, that just sounds wrong...

Press release after the hop.

These guys just keep on giving...

In the run up too Christmas (and for a short period after, up until the 31st December) Good Old Games are offering double-game bundles for $9.99.

The bundles include:

• Stonekeep & Lionheart
• MDK & MDK 2
• Descent 1 + 2 + 3 (plus the expansion pack for D3)
• Fallout 1 & 2
• FreeSpace 1, Silent Threat & FreeSpace 2.

I can personally vouch for the quality of the latter 2 offerings, which are nothing short of bargains at the $12 they wanted originally.

Haven't mentioned these guys for nearly 2 weeks now...

Good Old Games have started getting really generous in the run up to christmas.

Hit the jump for the skinny...

Leave it up to GOG.com to surprise us again with more well priced DRM-free stuff.

Firstly, they give us a game out of sequence (announce on Thursday for release the following Tuesday), which is Arx Fatalis, the game that eventually spawned the fun-but-flawed Dark Messiah.  It's also available on Steam for the same price, but who cares - this is a GOG.com release!

They also announce that Port Royale has been added to the 'coming soon' section and hint at more December treats in store.

Baby press release after the cut...

The GOG team have sent an email around to their users pointing out they have now signed a deal with Epic Games to distribute DRM-free copies of the older and frankly, the better (Unreal 2 not withstanding) entries in the Unreal Series.

Starting with Unreal Gold & Unreal Tournament (see: UT '99) GOTY Edition (available now for $9.99 each) and with Unreal II and UT 2K4 Editor's Choice Edition (must have missed that one at retail) coming soon for the same amount, nows the best chance to pick up on the best multiplayer shooters around and find out what all the fuss was about before CliffyB started loving consoles and hating those scurvy PC gamers pirates.

Adam Oldakowski, MD of GOG.com had this bit of marketing spiele to say:

Epic Games redefined the first-person shooter with the Unreal series, and we’re very happy to welcome them to the growing list of companies that share our vision of digital distribution

I laughed...

After a few months of not-so-private closed beta-ing, Good Old Games has been released on the unwashed masses willing to throw down money for Vista compatible versions of greats like Fallout, Sacrifice & FreeSpace 2 (and not-so-greats, like Earthworm Jim 3D, I.G.I. 2 & Conquest of the New World).

The official word is...

From today on, GOG.com is officially available to every classic PC games fan that wants to satisfy his need for DRM-free Good Old Games.

"The success of the Early Access Beta showed us that there is huge demand for DRM-free classic PC games, and it helped us to prepare the site for the public launch. We are endlessly grateful to the users for their support and assistance,” said Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director of GOG.com. Don't wait, create your GOG.com account and dive into the world of classic PC gaming.

The announcement is accompanied by the official signing of 2 publishers too the label (Strategy First & Pluto13) and the announcement that Disciples: Gold & Gothic are the next two games to hit the service early next week.
