Since got the 1for 1, i thinking of getting fallout and fallout 2. But someone here said that fallout tactics doesnt work 100% and need to put into compatability mode sucks abit.
I wonder if these games will be compatible when windows 7 comes out. Will there be any support for windows 7 for current existing games?
I also waiting when the gog actually do x-com but not the whole series, just unknown enemy and terror from the deep.

QUOTE(temptation1314 @ Sep 3 2009, 09:35 AM) looks good. Might try out if got enuff kaki.. but have to contribute time both steam and this jor.. :S Still, not bad lol. Could pin this up?  Steam got their DRM where you need to be online for some games 2 work. Plus it doesnt update some of their olders game like their x-com catalog which needs dosbox 2 run since they didnt update it for newer OS. Best of all most gog games that i've checked out are compatible for 32 as well as 64bit OS. This post has been edited by crapp0: Sep 3 2009, 09:44 AM

But steam doest make them fully compatible on xp or vista, gog does which is worth my money. Buying a game at gog is similiar to a large Carls junior meal with cheese fries.
Just bought fallout 1 and got fallout 2 free. Baru install and my fallout icon come out some bearded pirate by the name of tim cain.

Still waiting for the x-com franchise to come over.
I tell you gog will hit old if they can update that on the portfolio.

I've tried tex murphy 1 & 2 on vista and it sucked big time. It wasnt very stable and emulating the gameplay was terrible.
At least the fallout series fair better.

QUOTE(kianweic @ Mar 15 2010, 03:27 PM) Frankly, I like the UFO series in term of story. Its more engaging than XCom. But XCom gameplay is hard to beat. Theres a good story behind ufo games? But then again even i couldnt remember what x-com story was, was to busy trying to not die.

Going to finish ufo aftermath. damn i didnt know if was going to be very tough near the ending of the game.
Those alien incendiary rockets really hurt. Even with bio armour on.

QUOTE(kianweic @ Apr 5 2010, 09:53 AM) Have you faced those weird bees / insect stuff? Ridiculous I tell you, those thing can wipe off the entire squad in a blink of an eye. The best way to kill them for me is to spot'em first and take them out from long range. Oh, the big worm which spit insects. Those projectile are considered as hard damage but since their insect size projectile. No amount of protection can take it for long. One thing i hate is when starting it wasnt so bad, once i had researched the biomass. Then the aliens started having heavy firepower like their rocket launchers.

QUOTE(kianweic @ Apr 6 2010, 09:12 AM) Surprisingly the story for all UFO: After series are pretty well written. Also you have two choices in Aftermath, can't remember in relation to Aftershock. Yeah, i accepted the reticulans offer and game over, very disappointing. I just found out why i couldnt research plasma rifle or laser rifles since i didnt research another thing which i skipped. Going to finish the game soon but it takes me 5 days to complete 1 set of bio armour.

QUOTE(kianweic @ Apr 9 2010, 09:13 AM) You can also reject the reticulan's offer and get a different ending. Aftershock is a lot easier compared to this. Since you can get better armor and also have good allies. Going to play aftershock after finishing aftermath. I am now biding my time to finish manufacturing bio armour for all of my troops. I found something very annoying about the game. I got one reticulan ally who can only use alien weapons so i let him use the plasma cannon, for humans, when u crouch u will auto deploy the weapon but reticulans cant crouch so i have to waste action point for the reticulan to set up the cannon b4 actually shooting. Compared that to a human who can set if up b4 hand rather then set it up only if you have a target.

Not so sure about the x-com reboot by 2k marin.

QUOTE(H@H@ @ Sep 24 2010, 02:28 PM) Ok, not really a remake, but close enough http://www.xenonauts.com/Either way, im getting the x-com collection from direct2drive, their currently having a promo for the X-com Bundle for 6 dollars instead of the usual 15. But if a graphically improved and full windows 7 compatible version comes out. I'll be sure to spring for that as well since im a big fan of the x-com series, been playing it every so often since the first one came out. This post has been edited by crapp0: Sep 24 2010, 02:39 PM

QUOTE(ray148 @ Sep 24 2010, 11:40 PM) is every game in gog has been optimized to play in current pc?? For the most part they did a good job getting old titles to run on the latest OS, both on 32 and 64 bit.

QUOTE(Andrew Lim @ Oct 21 2010, 10:13 AM) Too bad I only joined GOG a few days ago, so I don't get Jagged Alliance.  But on the bright side, I've overcome my Team Fortress 2 addiction ever since I purchased Heroes of Might & Magic III.  But now I'm addicted to HOMM III instead.  Does anybody know when was gog launched? My account says i've been a member for 413 days. So far i;ve got 3 freebies from gog, beneath a steel sky, means streets and now jagged alliance.
