Superfrog, Alien Breed + Tower Assault, Tropico 3 Gold Edition, Worms 1&2, Cultures series and more 60% off!

Sometimes, we just like to open our treasure chest, grab a handful of great games, and throw them up in the air. Then we dance like mad people, jump around, and laugh as the games rain down on our heads like awesome digital confetti. Then, whatever falls inside a circle we've painted on the floor, we pick up and put on weekend promo. This week's lucky winners are Team 17 classics and strategy games from Kalypso Media. Let's take a quick look at our--let's stick to that--selection of the games you can get 60% off in the [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/kalypso_team_17_weekend_promo_090813]Team 17 and Kalypso Mix weekend promo, shall we?






Team 17 brings in a solid serving of nostalgic fun to the table. Look! Is it a strange little green bird? Is it a tiny plane with a red cape tied around it's cabin for some reason? No! It's ! This classic platformer of the early 16-bit era comes with so many memories, that whoever had the pleasure of playing it in the past, will instantly feel warm and fuzzy inside. All those who haven't played it before can now leap right into the arcade history spanning across 24 colorful levels, for only $2.39! What else from Team 17? [url=http://www.gog.com/game/worms_united]Worms United and Worms 2 managed to wiggle their way into the promo easily, even though some of them got squished while crossing the road overtaken by the World Rally Fever. All the games mentioned here can be yours for only $2.39 each!






From Kalypso, something to go with this summer's tropical heat: Cultures 1+2, an exploration-focused RTS series where you help a Viking tribe on they conquests around the world, you'll get the chance to cool off a bit before your brave warriors decide to invade some place near the equator. Both games can be yours for only $3.99 each.






That's not all. More titles await on our promo page, so make sure you go there and take a look. The promo lasts until Tuesday, August 13, at 3:59AM GMT. Have a great weekend!

Shame none of Team 17's Amiga-exclusive stuff is on GOG
I was considering getting Cultures but I briefly checked my backlog. Too many strategy games to add some new. Perhaps I'll buy them later after finishing several of those I already own.
I am missing only Alien Breed and Superfrog from this promo. And they can stay that way, thanks.
Nice promo. I think I will pick up Port Royale and Patrician 1+2. Both have been on my wishlist for quite a while.

yeah, same here. got 'em on my wish list also, but after the Summer sale, have plenty of strategy games to get to, not to mention lots of other genre backlogs....
I just noticed that for some games of this promo, the average user rating isn't shown. Has anybody the same issue?

EDIT: added a screenshot (cannot imagine that nobody rated the games until now...)

Excellent I can devote more money to Blu-ray movie buying this weekend. I have all but 6 in the promo and those don't tickle my fancy or anything else for that matter. No tickling at all, not a laughing matter.

It's due to the recent changes. Some bugs and glitches are not fixed yet. It affects a lot of different games.

Probably because no one has rated the game or perhaps not enough people that GOG deems it to result in a decent average.

Oh didn't look down to see that there are ratings, despite the top saying "be the first to rate the game", my bad

probably a combination of low numbers of reviews ratings and a bug in the code around that.

That makes sense. The voting for GoG-mixes also doesn't work.

I'm quite sure, there was an average rating some time ago. Even the most unknown games on GOG have an average rating :-)

Strategies are my second biggest group of unfinished games. And the winner is... RPG. Seriously, I should stop buying them. The problem is it usually take more time to beat an average RPG than any other game. I've just recently beaten Geneforge 2 (it's an excellent game!) and I don't even remember when I started it.

reviews are there, only average rating is not shown - but it is just another issue after website changes...
I think database is rebuilding or something like this, so a lot of things don't work correctly now (like e.g. update flags)...

I hear ya. While more often than not, I finish the majority of the good strategy games I start, I'd hate to count the number of RPG's I started, put some serious time into, then "took a break", and never got back to finish them. My biggest problem with RPG's is I tend to be a "completionist", and I wear myself out trying to find/do everything, then, as a result, grow a bit weary, and take a breather...while I really mean to come back and finish, I just never seem to actually do just that :-/.
