Hm, played that years ago on the Dreamcast. Seem to remember it being fun and quite atmospheric, if a little basic. Probably not a 'must have' game, I'd say.
I have fond memories of Silver. Tried to get it working a few months ago but was always something wrong. Hopefully GOG nailed it down, the bugs I had were pretty game breaking.

Populous 1 & 2 are both on sale. I'm leaning toward 2 as it seems more refined, any thoughts?
Apparently the sequel is a lot more refined than the original. I can't speak on the matter since I never played the original, but the sequel is good fun.
Also, everyone should own SMAC.
EDIT: Also, which Dungeon Keeper should I buy? I have fond memories of the original, but is the sequel improved?
More complex, IMO. I love the Civ series and have yet to successfully breach SMAC because it feels like an information overload.

The best part of SMAC is the social engineering aspect. Although there are some real game breaking exploits you can use to mercilessly destroy the AI.

So I took a chance on DK2 and it seems to be working fine. I just finished the first mission and exited the game with no problems. The cursor lags a little bit on the main menu, but that's it. So if you've been on the fence when it comes to the problems it has, it's worth a shot. It works for me. I'm on windows 7 with a nvidia card if that helps.

Both are really good. You won;t go wrong with either.

I don't think the main problem was instant CTD's, but game breaking bugs later on. Not sure, though.
I was thinking about picking up Dungeon Keeper but it seems that it's not exactly the best version. Maybe this one is the only one that reliably works on computers of our era?
After buying Freespace 1 and 2 nearly 4 years ago in the beta, I think I'm finally in the mood to give 'em a shot. I'm looking over a lot of information about FSOpen, but is that only for FS2? Am I still good in playing vanilla FS1 then moving onto FSO when I've finished it?

FSOpen can play Freespace 1 as well as 2 with the appropriate packages. The easiest way to get it all running is to use the FSO Installer.
Be aware that if you want to get the MediaVPs (which you do, since they add all those snazzy assets that make the game look almost modern), it's an additional multi-gigabyte download.
What kind of gamebreaking bugs are we talking about with DK2?
I have the first and it plays just fine. $3 is hard to beat for DK2...But not if it becomes unplayable at some point. :?
1 is dos I believe so it should be fine. The 2nd one uses windows which apparently has problems on 7, but I'm on the 3rd mission and haven't had any issues yet.

The second has a CTD on opening the objectives screen for me, along with odd graphical bugs kind of regularly. Still worth $3.
New release today is Pharaoh+Cleopatra for $9.99. Now only Emperor left from the Impression series.
Cool! I loved these games. Couldn't get into Caesar but I wasted so many hours on Pharaoh. I still have the CDs in really good condition so no need to rebuy them (yet). In fact I'm gonna reinstall them now to celebrate.
Gog.com have said in their forums that their deadline for finishing Carmageddon bug-testing and adapting (for windows 7 and such stuff) is September. Usually they give themselves 8-8 weeks but in this case they don't have the source code and the game is one of their most highly wanted so they want to get it right. Oh and its got the Splat pack with it too!
CD Projekt RED Group Summer Conference live (right here! We'll embed it below!) on the 30th May 2012 at 5:00 PM GMT.
We know that he who does not collect in summer, will heat little in winter and because we care for our users, you can prepare yourselves for wonderful harvest after the CD Projekt RED Group Summer Conference next Wednesday at 5:00 PM GMT. It is true that one swallow does not make a summer, that is why first you will hear some earth-shattering news from our friends from CDP RED and around 40 minutes later (that’s around 5.40 GMT!), TheEnigmaticT will tell you about GOG.com’s upcoming plans and release a number of fantastic games live at the show. We know that the summer that yields lots of pumpkins and horseradish doesn't fill the larder, that is why you can expect some old, some classic, and some brand new releases that will definitely heat up the first days of June.
Winter will ask you what you did during the summer, so make sure to tune in next wednesday May 30th at 5:00 PM GMT to watch us during the CD Projekt RED Group Summer Conference in this very newspost. Summer night is not very long but it rocks many cradles. You simply don’t want to miss it.

Edit: I really need to go through and make my own backup of all my purchases. You never know if gog will always be around.
Infogrames changed into Atari. Taking the name from its former subsidiary. Which in itself took the nam.....
Well, I don't think we need to spend time making sense out of the Atari trademark's history.
I believe Sutter Cane was the lawyer in all dealings with it.
Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition, minus DRM, of course, for 9.99.
And something called Torin's Passage for 5.99

Related: I asked Replay Games if they plan to bring back Torin's Passage or Freddy Pharkas too. Sadly there seem to be no plans to do so for now
I've had my eye on DK2 for awhile, but with all the problems I've been holding off. For 3 bucks maybe I'll take a chance on it.

Silver! They actually got Silver! I have been trying to track down that goddamn game for months!
