Welcome to the first Throwback Thursday of the year! To kickstart this 2022 edition, we thought we'd do a quick recap of the initiative for those of you who are new to the initiative or aren't sure what it is.

The Throwback Thursday project is a weekly recommendation series, done in cooperation with The Video Games History Foundation. In it, both members of our GOG team and people from the foundation recommend classic games dear to their hearts. The posts come with a short summary of the game, and a few kind sentences from one of their fan, so that you can feel that special connection. Critically acclaimed or not, it's games we love and remember for our own personal, and believe are worth highlighting again! The testimonials are also visible on the game pages themselves, and you can find all previous games we've written about, on this page.

The goal is to recommend you great games you might have missed, showcasing the sincere love we all share for classics and getting you more familiar with a few faces from GOG! On top of that, it's our opportunity to talk to you about our friends and partners, The Video Games History Foundation. It's a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and teaching the history of video games, and you can learn more about it in an interview with their founder, right here.

We hope to make you (re)discover many classics in 2022, so stay tuned for us and let us know in comments what game is dear to your heart, maybe we'll write about that one!

Oh my god, oh my god. oh my god, oh my god, gog.com mentioned (re)discover classics in 2022. This means only one thing.

That gog.com has made a massive deal with Bethesda Softworks, James Cameron, and Skydance Media to release all of the classic old The Terminator video games for sale on gog.com.

This includes.

The Terminator 2029

RoboCop Versus The Terminator

The Terminator: Rampage

The Terminator: Future Shock

The Terminator: SkyNET, now with fully working multiplayer and 100% Digital Rights Management (DRM) free multiplayer. Meaning no GOG Galaxy or Steam or a CD Key require. Just install and launch The Terminator: SkyNET and play multiplayer like in Unreal Tournament and Red Faction.

The Terminator: Dwn of Fate, now ported to the PC for the first time ever.

Me from another universe playing these video games right now.

Collection price for all of the video games included $49.99 dollars (USD). Available Today!

You hear that James Cameron I will pay you $50 dollars (USD) for all five of these The Terminator video games to be released for sale on gog.com.

Actually I will pay you $100 dollars (USD) to purchase the collection of these The Terminator video games twice one for me and one to gift to my die hard loving The Terminator brother. He really, really loves The Terminator more than I do.

Oh I will purchase a The Terminator collection for that one person in my life as well, so a total of $150 dollars (USD).

Come on gog.com and James Cameron make 2022 the best year of my life ever of ever being alive of being born.
Oh, one more thing, "Thurdsay"? And if the h is silent, did you say... ahem.

It looks that Throwback Thursday post is hardcoded now and is published weekly, absolutely unstoppable. We're lucky that someone managed to fill the post with the content before the whole GOG software blew up.

Well, they tried. Gotta give them that!

I'd love to see a Throwback Thurdsay on the best game ever made: Theif!

And another one on the second best game ever made: Rouge Warrior! (which I hope will be release of gog very, very soon! I'd day1 burchase it!)
I'd like to see Throwback Thursday cover Star Saga: One - Beyond the Boundary(1988) and Star Saga: Two - The Clathran Menace(1989), and it would be great if information about the never-published third game could be revealed too. I've really enjoyed these classic games and still played them in the 2020s. They're among the few games I could play over and over again, and they have an amazing story as well as multiplayer capability, a rarity in the 1980s.

Their desire to embed html within links results in a score of 25% for spelling.

If this is the best they can do, I can see why they stopped writing news posts.

Here is to hoping that gog.com, Bethesda Softworks, and James Cameron work together to release the classic old The Terminator video games for sale on gog.com in 2022, or in 2023, or in 2024, etc.

My weekly Thursday take.

The classic Dune video games from the 1990's to be released for sale on gog.com.

Since the new Dune movie was released.

I believe. I believe.
Thurdsay for Duke Nukem Forever. "What am I, am chimpanzee?"

I think in 2022 gog.com is going to be able to sell something from MicroSoft, like the classic old original Age of Empires video games.

I do wish it is the classic old The Terminator video games.

As well as the classic old Dune video games, with the new Dune movie out.
