Good Old Games

[Flamin]

hey, this is a service that is launching sometime in September, maybe a little later. they sell DRM free classsic PC game downloads (sort of like Steam but you can install on as many PCs as you want, unlimited redownloads, and no tricky activations.)

- Games are priced at $5.99 or $9.99, no matter how successful the game was, or how large the download is

- all games are Visa and XP compatible, they are not direct ports to a download, some have major tinkering done under the hood.

-NO DRM, you buy it, it's yours, no restrictions!

-classics like MDK and Fallount 1 and 2 for under $10

- FREE extras, like Map/Mission editors, MP3 soundtracks, and in-depth guides/walkthroughs.

- Full tech support after purchase, no extra charge.

I signed up for the Beta test, and got accepted, I don't know when the closed beta starts, but I'm really excited for this

I heard about this on another forum a while back.

Sounds very interesting, but will obviously wait till it's up and running to judge.
I hate to be cynical about it, but they do seem to promise the world, I hope they can deliver.

Let us know what it's like. (Unless they make you sign an NDA. )

I doubt they will (about the NDA anyway), they still haven't emailed me about the beta yet which IS strange, as their last email, the acceptance email said more info soon. apparently PC gamer is in on this action too, so we'll wait for it

I signed up for this and today my access code came!

The site looks good, and they have a good list of games as well.

Downloading Sacrifice now, so I'll post back with more details.
