I was just being all "uhh well I dunno, £27 is more than I usually spend" and then I realised that it is 13 games, of which I want at least 4, and I used to have to spend £30 whenever I wanted a single game back in the early 90s when £30 was worth a lot more (PC games were a lot slower to come out on budget then iirc)
so I guess my point is, hooray for the internet, and for Steam and its offers, and for this thread

though I did think I wanted AaAaAA bcz I guess the name confused me into thinking it was like VVVVVV and just watching the video is making me feel weird so eh
(I am not good with heights, or 3d, or games where you have to rotate a lot)

had toki tori for gameboy color and it was quite fun. not sure if the version in this pack is a remake or what, tho.

they work with a pc? i did not know this.

don't know about the ps3 one, but xbox should but only if you have either the wired cable controller or a wireless receiver on your pc.
the normal charger cable that comes with the 360 does not work as a connecting cable on the pc

you can use the PS3 controller but it may require some third party drivers/utilities or some such
wired usb 360 controller / wireless 360 controller w/receiver, definitely easier for most games, they'll autodetect/map the buttons. i often have to use that xbox 360 pad emulator w/my PS2 pad (it will work with pretty much any dual analog gamepad, though)
both options probably preferable to buying a PC-only pad

GOG has had these teaser banners on its main page in the last few days:
What game made you dream of the stars?What game made you ride with the Outlaws?What game made you fear your past?
A popular guess is Lucasarts (Star Wars, Outlaws, KOTOR).

They've done the impossible and made me play Wonderful End of the World, though I'm not exactly liking it. Every other game in the Potato Sack (and the later Dejobaan games, to be fair) have been worth it but TWEotW is an absolute nonentity, Katamari only much less so.
― muus lääv? :D muus dut :( (Telephone thing), Saturday, 16 April 2011 00:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, on the one hand, I totally agree that TWEoTW is a shameless ripoff of Katamari with nothing new added and the original's manic, joyful intensity taken out.
On the other hand, it's the only one of the 3 Dejobaan games in the pack I actually enjoyed playing. 1-2-3 not only did nothing for me but it made me enjoy aaaaawhatever less because, to be honest, they're both gliding through hoops games to me. Pass-through-rings bonus levels were always the worst, don't find that a whole game of them is redeemed by points for throwing star jumps and flipping the bird.
(Side question: was Horace Goes Skiing the first slalom game? Since the other part of HGS is a steal of Frogger, which came out a year before, I'm inclined to think it may not be, but Googling is getting me nowhere.)

its pretty ingenious how they do this, when u think about it - instead of givin u a few days to think it over, either you're gonna buy something that day or not. every game becomes the starburst at the checkout counter.
