Support NeoGAF

[Nikodemos]

Next up: 1993: Cannon Fodder, 75% off - $1.49. I've never even heard of this one before.

Uhh...

How can one not have heard of it? It's one of the classic run-and-gun-s of the '90s.

I wish it came in a bundle with its sequel, though.

It's sort of a like Commandos, but much more actioney from what I remember.

I wasn't much into PC gaming back then and from reading the reviews it also had a Genesis port and I never owned one of those either. That era was all about the SNES for me.

Let's put it this way:

'War has never been so much fun'

 

[vazel]

I don't think I've seen so many time deductions in this event. I've never heard of this game either.

 

[Grief.exe]

I want to go to bed, but I don't want to miss any interesting sales.

 

[vicoakland]

I watched this YouTube review of Cannon Fodder and am still undecided.

Kind of feels like I'd rather just play Metal Slug or Shock Troopers.

Spoiler

-1.

Unfortunately for your sleep pattern, they are just beginning.

I've just woken up so I'm fresh for the '90s and '00s. [/stealthbrag]

 

[Clydefrog]

Cannon Fodder?! are you kidding me! BOUGHT

it was the shareware king

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Bought Cannon Fodder. War has never been so fun!

It's such a pity GOG does have the DOS version instead of the superior Amiga one. :\

Yeah, this is probably the most annoying part of this sale. People need to sleep.

 

[British Monsoon]

Sucks missing out on deals - I'd prefer it if you could still access all the previous deals until the sale ends, with the caveat that they're 10% more expensive outside of their Time Machine sale window.

If you're lucky, they might go for a "once more, with feeling" afterwards.

 

[Link Man]

So, any notable releases in 94, now that Cannon Fodder is winding down?

 

[ZeroX03]

I'm gonna sleep through the late 90s/early 00s, this is a really inconveniently timed sale.

Master of Magic and Betrayal at Krondor, if I'm not mistaken about release dates.

 

[Talyn]

Next up: 1994: Jagged Alliance (yes, just the 1st one) 80% off, $1.19. I played the DS port of this and it was pretty meh. I think the common consensus is that JA2 is the game to get if you're interested in the series.

 

[MrCunningham]

Jagged Aliance... never played this series.

Still a bit sad that I missed the Police/ Space Quest sales. Ah well.

 

[Link Man]

And it's Jagged Alliance.

Well, I need to sleep. Will probably miss the rest of the 90's.

 

[Nikodemos]

They should've bundled it with Deadly Games.

 

[Vipershark]

What happened with Jack Keane 2?

Nothing

 

[Arthea]

I went to sleep, ya, stupid I know.
What did I miss? Seems to be Wizardry 6-7, I have those, what else?
It couldn't be Wizardry all night, or could it?

edited: I see other was Cannon Fodder, what else?

OP is mostly up to date with the list of games. It's only missing:
1992: Star Control 1+2
1993: Cannon Fodder
1994: Jagged Alliance

Thanks!
JA is still on.

 

[Talyn]

Next up: 1995: Crusader: No Remorse, 75% off - $1.49

 

[Keikaku]

Crusader you say?

 

[coughlanio]

Kinda hoping for Witcher 1/2 to come up.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

This is quite a well-regarded game, it should be up for a while.

 

[Nikodemos]

Crusader you say?

+3 seconds.

 

[MrCunningham]

Will pick up Crusader!

 

[Arthea]

Kinda hoping for Witcher 1/2 to come up.

It's very likely, I think.

 

[Nikodemos]

It's very likely, I think.

The Witcher: EE could show up for 2007.

 

[mclem]

Kinda hoping for Witcher 1/2 to come up.

Just when you think it's done, they throw in "2014: Witcher 3", and everyone goes nuts

 

[Arthea]

That's too good to be true, and everyone would go nuts!

No Regret. No bundle. No purchase.

 

[Knurek]

Next up: 1995: Crusader: No Remorse, 75% off - $1.49

If it was bundles with No Regrets, I'd totally buy for that price. As it stands, I don't think it's worth it. -1s

 

[Nikodemos]

Hah, the timer definitely shows that America went to sleep.

 

[tauke]

Tomb Raider 1+2+3 for $1.99 is up for 1996.

 

[Talyn]

Next up: 1996: Tomb Raider 1+2+3, 80% off - $1.99

 

[MrCunningham]

Tomb Raider 1,2 AND 3 FOR $1.99

 

[Gangxxter]

Already own all TR games.

Next.

 

[Azure Dream]

Oh god, I switched back to the tab, and it jumped back up to full. It keeps adding time over the original start, now.

We may be here a while.

In unrelated news, Divine Divinity just got updated.

EDIT: OTOH, AmeriGAF can now rest easy, since the way this thing is going, they'll be well awake for the '00s.

 

[tauke]

Guess the Tomb Raider sale will be here for a while now. The timer slowly bounce back higher every few seconds.

 

[mclem]

Out of interest:

* Has each game started out with 1:15 on the clock?
* Do we have reasonable start/finish times for each title?

I'm rather curious to see which game has the most demand, and we can perhaps measure that based on how long they're up for.

 

[Zeeman]

I've woken up to see time is frozen. Do the Tomb Raider games support a controller? I can't imagine playing these with a keyboard.

 

[Nikodemos]

Might&Magic, SimCity 2000 and Wizardry were the ones with the highest number of hits (before I went for some shut-eye).

 

[rudieboy77]

I've woken up to see time is frozen. Do the Tomb Raider games support a controller? I can't imagine playing these with a keyboard.

Can you imagine how hard that would be? They were hard enough to control with a controller, looking for ledges that blended into the rest of the wall etc...
