Classics Promo: get your old games fix at a discount over at Gog

Gog is an excellent resource for classic computer games. The platform runs a sale currently that offers discounts on more than 1,000 – mostly – old computer games. While that may deter gamers that want high-end graphics, it is a treasure trove for gamers who want to replay or play some of the greatest classics in computer gaming.

As an added advantage, games on Gog are not as expensive as modern titles. Even without discounts, you barely pay more than $10 for a game. During sales, prices drop to a few Dollar for many of the games.

Want some examples?

• Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition, arguably the best title of the Dragon Age series, is available for less than $6 for the next eleven days.
• Ultimate VII The Complete Edition is available for $1.37. The other Ultimate games, are available in two packs (Ultimate I, II, and II, and Ultimate IV, V, and V) for $1.37 each as well. There are also discounts for Ultimate Underworld, and Ultimate IX.
• Thief II The Metal Age, one of the greatest stealth games of all time, costs $1.07.
• X-Com 2, one of the best turn-based strategies, is available for $2.74
• Jagged Alliance 2, another classic turn-based game, costs $2.18

Just browse the list and you will find huge discounts for games of all genres. The games are compatible with modern Windows PCs. While controls or visuals may not be on par with modern games, you can still have days of fun with some of the games easily.

These games should also work well on older PCs, as they are not that demanding than modern games.

While this reads like an advertisement, it is not. I like Gog a lot and buy games there regularly to replay old classics or play classics that I missed out on when they were released initially.

Now You: do you play computer games at all? If so, which games to you like and do you prefer modern or classic games?
