Thanks for the notification. Getting them now...
Thanks! more games to play... more games.. more.. games... all these games are turning me into a zombie :P
Man, GOG is a real treasure. Such a cornucopia of nostalgia. And cheap too!
Very cool, thanks for this! A nice Xmas prezzie... I've never played these early Tex games, so downloading them now :)
These might make a fair target for an AGS remake. I keep getting killed in the gun fights.
