GoG.com is having its biggest sale ever. Many of the good old games still hold up, even as we stand on the precipice of a new decade. The site's entire catalog (excluding December releases) of 171 games is discounted 25 to 40 percent -- and don't forget, you can still pick up two Tex Murphy games for free. The sale ends January 3, but don't dawdle. Once your brain is filled with the fat globules of your holiday bird of choice, it may be hard to remember the special is going on.
Highlights of the sale are ... well, almost everything. But, let's say that both MDKs for $8 and Freespace 2 for $4 is a good deal. Seriously, Freespace is less than a jar of Nutella. At that price, it's almost worth playing Freespace while sucking microwaved Nutella through a straw. Bliss.

they seem really intent on ruining my self imposed budget plans. Fine. They win.

MDK. One of the weirdest and coolest games ever made. Loved the bizarre art direction. MDK 2 sucked though.

If you are interested in space combat games then get Freelancer. Its similar to Freespace but Freelancer is newer and is a sandbox openworld(openuniverse?) game with RPG elements rather than map based like Freespace. The graphics arent offensive either since its only one generation old.

If your interested in Space Combat get Freespace. If your interested in a Space sim/trading/combat game then freelancer is a good choice as well.

I have to get around to playing Freespace 2.
I played Starlancer on the Dreamcast and thought it was fucking amazing. I feel like I'm the only person on earth who's played that game though.

I actually have Starlancer (legal in fact) in my Dreamcast right now. It's a fairly decent game, but it doesn't support the DC flightstick I have that it claims to support. Even though I'm a huge Wing Commander/Chris Roberts fan, I will say though, that Freespace 2 is still, by far, the best space combat game ever made. Playing it in 1080p with the SCP and MediaMVPs is amazing!

The American version of Nutella sucks. It's more chocolate and sugar than the European versions. I can't even taste the hazelnuts anymore. I'm not sure if they changed the Euro versions by now but it used to be better in the 90s.
I'm sick of companies dumbing down food products for what they consider weak American tastes.

Get this:
"In the American market, Mon Chéri was actually filled with hazelnuts and did not contain liqueur, similar to the Ferrero Küsschen that is sold in Germany and Denmark. After more than 20 years in production, this variety was discontinued by Ferrero."
HAZELNUTS. Now that is dumbing down.

Mass Effect works fine on my Win 7.
GOG work with all the games they have available so that they work on new Windows versions, so while the original retail Fallouts may or may not work the ones you get from GOG will.

I still have my PC copy of MDK I bought back in 1997.
Thanks to DOSbox, it still gets played quite often.
