I am embarrassed to say I don't know any of those games or heard of them.

Any of them worth getting, Mr_Blastman? I like adventures RPG type puzzle solving games. I don't like shooters.

Vienna, 2nd rock left.
I've had my eye on Sangfroid a year ago or two... seems a fun premise. The Gwent game has also been highly praised, though If you've never played the Witcher 3 it might not attract you as much.

Jill of the Jungle is a classic.

I played Flight of the Amazon Queen a few years back, and finished it. Good for a few laughs.

Beneath a Steel Sky was also pretty good (finished it, too). A bit more serious tone, though.

Most of those games are low budget bargain bin crap.

That is the creator of Ultima, Richard Garriot's first game. Those here who haven't played the Ultima games, especially Ultima 6 and 7, and who like RPGs, have missed out on something grand.

I read the whole thing including his Wiki page. Didn't know about him. Impressive to be able to accomplish what he did at only 18. He has also been to the ISS.

On the one hand you have all of these free games being offered but on the other hand you have all of these gamers with long lists of unplayed or barely played games on Steam and other online services. biggrin

Many of those free games have been free on GoG for a very long time. especially those point and click adventure games.

GOG is giving away this game for a few more hours:

Might check back from time to time as GOG sometimes gives away a few games during sales.
