I thought that it might be easier to have one thread regarding Retro Games that are on sale instead of creating a new thread each time there is a hot sale!

The idea is to stick to really hot sales / discounts rather than new releases. Especially this time of the year it can get confusing with everyone offering sales, so the more people are on the lookout and share any bargains the better for our wallets 😀

Caught this one today:

7th Guest & 11th Hour Bundle for $1.49 with a 85% discount!

7th Guest uses ScummVM.

Darn, I would have paid $1.50 for 7th Guest three months ago.

I am a bit torn on it.
You are giving the sellers free advertising, while also providing a "service" to community.

Please don't be Qbix. I've only got the best of intentions.

That's true for the ebay thread as well...
Also this thread should discourage pirating of old games which IMO is in the spirit of Vogons.

I have no doubt about your intentions, but GoG's is misguided when they run anything through SCUMMVM instead of DOSBox.

Perhaps that is a subject for another thread.
