    Now how'd I miss that? Freebies like this are why I check GOG on a
    daily basis ;-)

    This is, of course, the rebooted version, not the original DOS/Amiga
    games. I remember playing these a few years ago (checks note: okay,
    almost a decade ago) and being unimpressed. The core gameplay was
    solid, but the game(s) lacked variety to keep me entertained; there
    was just too much reuse of assets and mechanics that I was growing
    bored long before the first game ended, much less the third game of
    the trilogy.

    But seeing as I only have these games on Steam, I still feel obligated
    to add them to my GOG library. Just because I wasn't thrilled by the
    games doesn't mean I shouldn't have multiple copies of them. ;-)

    So thanks for the update, rms!

    So, it's not good as the original? :( The rebooted one looks pretty. It reminded me of Alien Swarm mod:

    multi player).
