ArbitraryWater: Can't you totally get Star Control 2 for free, legally?
Petrell: Yes, the 3DO source based "The Ur-Quan Masters" is free, open source (GPL) and completely legal. What GOG offers is the original PC (DOS?) version.
Ultrace: And that's why I'll be picking this up. I enjoyed the PC version of the game; I'm not interested in the Ur-Quan Masters; as an enhancement (of a different platform of the game, even), it's not the game I once played. To those who enjoy UQM, more power to you--I've never seen a version of SC2 that you could go wrong with, but SC2 was one of the three games I really wanted to see on GOG that I feared they would never get; this bundle makes me quite happy.
Smannesman: Cute, but why would I buy it when the superior remake can be downloaded for free?
snap-d:Regardless - do you not agree that a game of this quality belongs on GOG?
GOG - I'm very happy to find another reason to give you my money.
Damn good work GOG! If this keeps up, you certainly delivered on your promise.
For me, SC2 is what GOG is all about - delivering good old classics to a modern audience.
I'll definitely be buying this. Thanks GOG!
5.99 is even more kudos
Ok guys you sold me bought along with alone in the dark. Now to hide my credit card from my wife
Yes, I still have the original SC1 & 2 bundle (complete with poster), and yes, I also have UCM, but I'm still dropping six bucks on this package for the following reasons:
1) SC2 is one of the best "shooter" games ever made and if the creators might get more of my money, fine.
2) GOG is a kick-ass distributor and deserves my continued support.
3) Atari put its neck out to redistribute its old games, so I don't mind rewarding them for it.
4) I can't imagine all of GOG's work on these games resulting in something I wouldn't enjoy playing.
5) It's only six, frigging bucks for two great games and I'm not a "Scrooge."
