Ultima 4 is free on GOG right now! http://www.gog.com/en/news/new_release_ultima_4_quest_of_the_avatar I stumbled upon that fact by accident as I've never played an Ultima game before, was just browsin' through GOG. I have scooped it up and now I will eat it.

The Whispered World 75% off on STEAM only today! Recommended for those that want to see a modern non-indie adventure game!

I haven't finished it yet, but it's really good so far and of decent length.

"....when the six million mark is reached, remastered point-and-click classic Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Directors Cut will be free to download for everyone with a GOG account."

At the time of writing this GOG counter is around 5.9 milllion. If you register now you get Beneath the steel sky free to download (and some other games), but if you're around when the 6mil snaps you get BS1.....even better there's lots of great adventure games for low prices to buy at Good old Games. RUN! HURRY! FLY, TIMMY, FLY!

I laready have the original version, but I tryed playing the DC on a friends NintendoDS and the changes looked ok. Nevertheless, I think the game is still a must play for adventure games genre.

And here it is, Broken Sword, both original and Director's Cut versions, are now available for free to anyone who has a GOG account and add the game to their library before October 1st!

But you've all got your copy already, have you?

GOG.com are having a Halloween sale which has discounted versions of some classic adventures, like the Gabriel Knight games and Sanitarium.

None of which I have yet. Tempted....

Oh and hey, what do you know? More Halloween adventure gaming discounts can be found at the Adventure Shop and DotEmu. (quick tip: A Vampyre Story is much cheaper on DotEmu)

Sorry, I guess this thread isn't really the "Buy games and lose your mortgage" thread.

...Maybe they meant Yen?...

Anyways, the Humble Voxatron Debut is currently running!
