• Prime Gaming 28 October 2023

    I keep forgetting to do the Prime Gaming announcements on a weekly
    basis. Well, every two weeks is good enough, I suppose. And thanks to
    the delay, we've get a bunch of games this time!


    - Doom 3 (via GOG)
    This one needs no explanation; it's Doom 3! Demons
    and shotguns and far too much darkness. It is still
    a classic, however. I already have it, though, so
    look to the bottom of the page for a ROT-13 code
    that can be used to claim the game.


    - The Textorcist (via GOG)
    A bullet-hell shooter crossed with a typing game.
    It is an odd mix but seems to work.


    - Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp (via GOG)
    A multiplayer dating sim adventure visual novel
    sorta thing. Well, I'm sure there's an audience
    for it.


    - The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters (via GOG)
    A horror adventure game. Very Indie in its
    production values, but good enough if you like
    Japanese horror or adventure.


    - Golden Light (via Epic)
    An odd-ball survival-horror FPS. Very rough around
    the edges, but arguably offbeat enough to be
    interesting; sort of a 'so bad its good thing'. Me,
    I tend to prefer 'so good its good' games but
    different strokes and all...


    - Super Adventure Hand
    A third-person puzzle-platformer with the gimmick
    that your on-screen avatar is a disembodied hand.
    Odd and reasonably fun but not really exceptional
    beyond its unusual protagonist







    --------------
    * Remember to apply ROT13 an odd number of times to the code. Use it
    at GOG.com. AFAIK this is for the original version of the game, not
    the BFG version. The key only works once, so the first person to use
    it is the only one who gets it. BlahBlahBlahBlah. 8q9LronQq8Rnn79srs

    I'm really tempted to get a GOG account now.

    It's the only game client/account I'm glad I got besides Steam.

    Mostly DRM free and tons of old games that aren't available on
    Steam and if using dosbox already have it integrated.

    Also presumably helps the money go to the devs of the Witcher
    and Cyberpunk games as it's their own storefront.

    I still haven't got around to it, but supposedly can be used to
    aggregate and keep track of games on all the other storefront/
    platforms so you know if you already have a game or not.
