edit: I just grab 3

Why is every game made by Bullfrog pure Gold

Well... The first populous did not age very well and has a absolutely dreadful interface.

Hmm, you know, I have seen prepaid cards available at the local dollar store. Do you think they'll work for GOG?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Because they were gods of simulators and such. I mean watch how The Settlers went after Settlers 2. After Bullfrog was shut down or moved or split up or whatever happened to them all their IPs went downhill after being bought by others...

Hey i liked settlers 3 along with its changes. It's settlers 5+ that started turnng the series into a RTS game for good.

Come on, it was Settlers 3 which had the first RTS style with its Army side of things...
Heck they removed the roads completely in that game...

I think there's a sale on Interplay games. I saw Fallout 2 for $2.99, and managed to grab Sacrifice for that as well.

Not really old games, but my first ones:

GTA: san andreas
MoH: vanguard

Loved those.

MoH: vanguard was my very first shooter. The joy i had when i completed it faster then my parents.

And i'll add Ratchet & Clank 3 and Sly raccoon 2 to the list two.
The PS2 was the last good non-mobile console (nintendo DS and such are still pretty good, just for the fact that they have touchscreens and are mobile), and i'm glad that it was part of my early gaming expiriences.

E:
Most of you probably won't classify this as "old" ;P

There is definitely a sale on Interplay games.  I think it's most of the Interplay games in the catalogue. You can see the list here: https://secure.gog.com/en/promo/interplay_price_change_promo_09_11_12

There's also a weekend sale on TellTale games, which are priced so high they actually need sales: https://secure.gog.com/en/promo/telltale_weekend_promo_9_11_12/

I love GOG sales. :)

I hate GOG sales, mainly because they drain my wallet and grow my "to be played"-list bigger and bigger.

Seriously, every time I see there is a new sale, I notice at least a couple interesting games and buy them...

True.  I bought most of the games I'm interested in already though, and I'm not stressing about the backlog.  It'll be there for me when I have more time and less money, after all.

I agree with both of the previous posts.

That said, should I buy Space Colony?

I got Space Colony and immediately regret it.

It glitched out and now I have to start the campaign all the way from the start.
