GOG.com's Agreement with Team 17 ‘Worms Up’ the Cold Days of January.

2012 will be filled with great new things coming to GOG.com, and first up, we’re expanding our catalog with some of the tremendous Team 17's classic titles.

Team 17's offerings on GOG.com start with the most lovable (and lethal) annelids of the gaming world in the unforgettable and quintessential tactical artillery shooter Worms United – a special edition of Worms 1 with the expansion Worms Reinforcements for $5.99. We’re not just giving you one game today, though. You will also want to use some heavy weaponry to fight a different kind of invertebrates--the squicky space alien kind--in Alien Breed and Alien Breed Tower Assault available now for just $5.99 as well.

Today's releases should keep you busy while we bring some more goodness from Team 17 in the next week: Superfrog and World Rally Fever: Born on the Road. We’ll be bringing you more games from their catalog later on this year.

Pick up Worms United and Alien Breed + Alien Breed: Tower Assault for just $5.99 each today on GOG.com!

NICE!

Great, as long as they remain DRM-free.

I understand what DRM stands for, but what does it mean in the context of these old games and why is it important?

Serisouly tempted with Dungeon Keeper, I swear games have gotten worse...

- No need for a disc in the drive
- No need for the game to phone home
- No activation limits

They just tweeted this:

Big news! One of our most requested classic games is coming to @GOGcom on the 19th. Hint: its name starts with S

Candidate for System Shock 2 perhaps?

 

[dubs]

The original syndicate?

Heres hoping.

 

[Neil79]

Stardust ?

 

[Pestilence]

Vote here for Syndicate.

 

[TonyM19]

Syndicate would be an instant purchase for me

 

[neoglow]

+1.

 

[Huw]

It probably is Syndicate, considering it's being remade twice; cynical cash-in and all that.

+1.

+2

It is Syndicate.

Hurrah and boo all at the same time.

 

[Flibster]

Original Syndicate or re-hash to FPS.. Hmmmm...

I'll have the original ta.

The good old gamers at GOG.com announce they will release Bullfrog's legendary Syndicate on their DRM-free marketplace on Thursday, saying: "This gritty cyberpunk treasure shows up here with some bonus content: the game manual, dark SF artworks, and avatars." They are celebrating the news with a competition to mobilize fans of their service to help spread the word about GOG.com and "the DRM-free revolution." On a related note, EA announces a demo will be released later this month for the Syndicate remake that's coming in the form of a first-person shooter. The announcement seems to indicate this will be for consoles only, but EA has not yet responded for our request for clarification of this, so there will be a follow-up to this story if it turns out there will be a PC demo as well. This new trailer promotes the demo, and concludes saying: "4-player co-op demo on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 coming soon." Update: We have confirmed with EA that there are currently no plans for a PC Syndicate demo.

Wonder if it will have the really hard mid-Atlantic level from American Assault.

 

[neoglow]

Syndicate!

That is awesomenesssssss!

I can still remember playing that, I am definately getting that from GOG!

*Sigh*, I can still remember some of the more powerful weapons you get later in the game (or if you cheat )

Anyone remember the computer narrated voice saying - "Satellite Rain"? Then hearing the siren before levelling the whole area with missiles from the sky.

Love it. Thank you GOG!
