I dont know Limewater, but I have a feeling if jfrost is giving them money then yes, yes you can.

I went in for Descent 1-3, Mobile Infantry, UT2k4, the Seven Kingdoms, and Lords of the Realm 1&2. In all honesty Lords 1&2 was because it was cheaper than buying the expansion separately and UT2k4 was because my copy is on 5 cds...

Yes, you can download internationally. I recall I read on their website they even make it a point to have the games available for everyone around the world for the same price.

Three hours of Lords 2 later...

And all can stay away from Mobile Infantry. It is a bad mix of UT and CS. I bought it betting on it being fun at a lanparty.

Heh. Yeah, Lords of the Realm II is pretty excellent. I had a lot of fun with that game. I think it's actually the first game I ever played multiplayer. It was either that, or Duke Nukem' 3D. A friend of mine got a laptop and brought it over with an IPX cable.

I love how you can burn people's fields in that game.

Tell me, should I pick up Septerra Core for the $3.89 price they are offering? I've heard mix things about this one, but it reminds me of all the PS1 RPGs I loved.

Septerra Core is kind of slow moving, but a decent game. It has a bit of the old JRPG feel and was sort of like the West's answer to Final Fantasy VII at the time of its release. I don't think you'll be blown away, but you'll probably have a good time with it. $3.89 is less than I used to spend to rent PS1 games back in the day, so it's definitely worth the price imo.

Took your advice and purchased my copy of Septerra Core last night. I must say, I am extremely happy with the GoG service. It was super easy to access my purchased game on the GoG site afterwards, and downloading it was quick and effortless. I also snagged the full PDF manual, maps of every area in the game, high-res wallpapers, high-res artwork and Septerra Core forum avatars. Pretty nice for $3.89, considering most services like this only give you the game.

The game runs great so far on my PC with XP, and it was nice to see a custom GoG installer. I like the fact these aren't just old game files put on a server to download. They've put time into making them compatible with newer versions Windows, and provide an all around cohesive package across the board.

My hats off to GoG! Looks like I might just grab another title during this sale. Perhaps Shogo? That one is also $3.89.

Shogo was a pretty fun game. Obviously the 3D graphics will be very dated, but heck, they were when I played it too. But it is fun and worth playing. :)

About how long would you say the game is? Seeing as I just bought Septerra Core, I would want something not quite as lengthy.
