I'm in beta and have a free invite to one lucky person to give away. If the mods are OK with this post. I'll list the current games. 1. We’ve got games your 10-year-old won’t be better at. GOG.com offers you critically acclaimed games from major publishers in every genre. Don’t let your kids mock the graphics; remind them that the classics never go out of style, unlike their totally wicked haircut. 2. So you’re cheap. It’s okay – we are, too. For less than the cost of a lunch at some lousy diner you can own some of the greatest games of all time. No matter how big the file is and how successful the game was, you’ll leave the table satisfied that you got a great deal for your money. As an added bonus, our house specialities won’t make you sick. 3. You buy it, you keep it. Don't let your DRMs turn into nightmares (clever, no?). You won't find any intrusive copy protection in our games; we hate draconian DRM schemes just as much as you do, so at GOG.com you don't just buy the game, you actually own it. Once you download a game, you can install it on any PC and re-download it whenever you want, as many times as you need, and you can play it without an internet connection. 4. All games are Vista and XP compatible. Thanks to our handsome programming team, the classics are now Windows Vista and Windows XP compatible. Now you can use your lightning-fast PC to unleash the full potential of those games you just couldn’t play properly on that busted old 386. Basically, it's old classics. Cheap, DRM free, XP/vista compatible. Do an internet Search for 'Good Old Games' if your suspicious.	bob_doe_nz (92)

707823	2008-09-26 01:42:00	Those games aren't old! They're great! Half of them wouldn't work on a 386 anyway. Messiah and Colin McRae would be a sorry sight on one. Anyway, looks awesome. I'd love a pass to that.	Thebananamonkey (7741)
