I knew the manual would come in handy again...

Too bad the elephant gun recquires so much strenght, feels like waste at first to get up to a good firing stat. Also eats lots of ammo per shots, but nice and powerful.

CnC 4 and Arcanum don't really mix well I'd say by teh way.

Great idea, I'm in!

I've been hearing about this game for... well, just about forever now. It's one of these elusive games that I just keep telling myself I should get one of these days, along with The Temple of Elemental Evil and Jade Empire, but I still haven't got to it yet.

GOG offers great deals at the moment, I managed to snatch the entire Geneforge saga and The Indigo Prophecy earlier this month. Almost got Sanitarium too, of which I have vague childhood memories. I was too busy playing Baldur's Gate and Commandos when this was released so never got around to playing it.

Anyway, regardless of who this giveaway goes to, it's nice to see some topics like this popping up, we should create a group for those who remember the old gems from the 90s. POD anyone? Descent? Death Rally? Megarace? God this takes me back :D

Oh, thank you reminding me about this game. Great thing I already have it on gog.com and totally forgot about it! :D

God, i loved this game. I actually got it on GoG a few weeks back, in exchange for CD-Projekt registration points :D. We, Polish, have some awesome deals on GoG.

count me in :)
games like this are always good company ;)

I remember getting C&C on some floppy disks. Old times... what a game. Also remember that I never played the NOD campaign because some floppies were damaged so I could go up to stage 2 or 3. Loved the buggy =(

Hm... playing as GDI was cool though, I always remember the general and how funny the grenadier sprites were.

But the true revelation became with Red Alert, my personal favorite. Red Alert was SO good in so many aspects, that I cannot put them all here because it could take an hour, at least. From the movies between levels, and the units... The whole Einstein/Hitler thing. It was epic, and still is, because honestly, Red Alert 2 was "OK", and Red Alert 3 is total and complete absolute EA crapola. Westwood FTW.

And I don't want to start talking about C%C 4 because I QC'd that shit by obligation, for two weeks. I tried to fix that friggin' launcher, was SO broken.

That's part of my experience with C&C series, hope you have enjoyed it. Luckily for us, the best games are free now. There's even a guy porting the game to HTML5.

An awesome game that brings back to the time I spent looking for the better blueprints to create some great piece of equipment (I loved to play on the technomancy way) such as the Bronwyck's Gun and the Machined Platemail (just to be have something like the Fallout 1-2 Power Armors).
I did quite everithing (even all the offers to the gods) except one thing: find a way to get inside the secret mine/home of the Dwarves, the one bith the big circular floor door. I shoul replay it for the 3rd time just to do that (bad thing that my old CDs are gone).
Lately I have played again Fallout 1 and 2 (got both on GoG even if had them retail already) just to do the same: finding what I missed years ago when I was just a novice in the rpg world; and I'm planning to do the same with another game I loved: Deus Ex. Just finished Human Revolution but my hunger for great games is still here (even if HR is a great game too) xD

And now I'm waiting for the new Cyberpunk game that CDP (the same of the 2 Witcher) announced some time ago, its background (a pen&paper game like D&D) seems very promising and CDP has all my trust.

I love to be an RPG addicetd xD

its steamworks game ......why its not on steam ? :< arronax ftw

Funny thing is I never really played a magic based character, always techno warrior / ranged.

The only problem I had with Arcanum vanilla was the lvl 50 cap because you got that maybe after playing 1/4 of the game. really hated that. TBH I love Steampunk and Cyberpunk, I played all Fallout games(3int runs are hilarious), Neocron , Thief series, Bioschock and all Legacy of Kain games, if you count those as Steampunk, nevertheless there will be someone more worhty of a playable copy of Arcanum, so good luck :p

What? There are steampunk fans that don't have Arcanum already? Fake! FAKE I SAY!

(This is not an attempt to win a game, I already have the game and you should too)

So I was trolling just like you, well, now I actually kinda want the game, since I have played it pirated before. Hmm... about actual steampunk gaming, I came across two games that I loved - and still do, and I don't know why they are both shoot 'em ups (bullet hell shooters, I hate them but I just like these ones): One is the probably know to everyone Jamestown, it just fucking rocks in every department. It's an excellent showcase of how an indie game should be done.

And in the other hand, a rather obscure CPS-2 game by Cave called Progear no Arashi, which is EVEN MORE AWESOME than Jamestown.If there is such a thing. Here is a video.

And last, an anime series that I couldn't get past the first episodes, Last Exile, featuring excellent designs by Range Murata.

Also, Will Smith.

Cool stuffs.

Played many years ago! I still fondly remenber when my wizard had to stay in the rear of the train... o_ç
Maybe this is the occasion to replay it with a tech one!
I'm a Vanilla fan of Steampunk (actually of all or almost all the punks ones), but when I find it I enjoy it very much!

Based on weighted randomness, with more seriously interested people getting weighted higher our winner of this grand prize of 1 Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura is...
