KILLER BUNDLE AWAITS! WHAT YOU GONNA DO?
The collection as a whole is being removed. Not sure which of the games that can be individually purchased will still be available though. But as the majority of the games weren't available for individual purchase this is by far the best opportunity for getting them.

I thought it said Lincoln: Battlemage and was so excited. Well it is a good bundle, but I'm not really interested in any of the games so I'm probably gonna pass.
Also bundle stars works for me again, yea!
Edit: Hmm, Flying Tigers and Noah arks look interesting, Still undecided.

3D realms anthology is worth the money for me, can't wait for Rachels charts to see which other games i bought with it. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Same here, dood. I got it from Steam while it was on sale in the past Autumn sales.
But even then, I'll be getting this. It also has Super Noah's Ark 3D, and I can always retrade the anthology.

Same here. I asked for a refund. Good thing I didn't play any of the games for more than 2 hours, and that I did get this almost at the end of the sale past week.

No difference to me. I have already refunded the game without trouble.
Now, if BS wasn't giving me problems right now, I could buy the bundle.

Extremely tempting, probably buy.
Does anyone know if the 3D Realms Anthology - Steam Edition is one key or multiple keys?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks. Since i likely won't own much of the collection, if would't really matter anyway. It's just easier them with one key :)

Great looking bundle! Anyone know when it ends? I see a timer, but it is going up? Will there be a price increase later?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, thanks. On my screen it was originally showing http://prntscr.com/9bthn5 with an increasing timer, but refreshing the page showed 14 days.

Awesome bundle, but this teaches me yet again, don't buy anything below -75% on steamsales, cause it will be bundled sooner or later :) I got like 3 games in this bundle i bought on steam and haven't played yet lol.
Bought it anyway for GA purposes ^^

The key for "check vs. mate" is actually Battle vs. Chess, with APPID=211050 instead of 211070, even if activated in the US.

It's "Check vs. Mate" only in North American regions (including Mexico). For the rest of world it's "Battle vs. Chess". And you are right, the B vs C, which is actually sold everywhere except NA regions, has cards, while the NA version does not.
And from Wikipedia:
The game was never released in the United States following a lawsuit by Interplay Entertainment for trademark infringement due to its similarity to their title Battle Chess. The case went to trial by jury in the summer of 2012.[1][2] The District Court of California came into session and given that after two years of litigation, TopWare Interactive discharged their lawyer, resulting in Interplay winning the case by default.[3] The settlement was agreed upon on November 15, 2012. Terms of the settlement were $200,000 plus interest.[4]

This may have created a little bit of problem here. I cannot find "Battle vs. Chess" when creating a new SG giveaway. There are actually a couple of "Check vs. Mate" created already. If the key given away turns out to be "Battle vs. Chess", it will look like the winner did not activate the gift.
EDIT for your EDIT: In NA regions if you go to the store page of appid 211050 it automatically redirects you to the 211070 store page.

Wait, you're saying you got a different key in your bundle than everyone else? Are you in the U.S. or elsewhere?

I'm just outside Chicago, IL.
I bought the bundle using a US IP and US Paypal attached to a US credit card.
When I activated the key for Check vs Mate, it shows up in my games library as Battle vs Chess. When I right click on Battle vs Chess in my library and select Store Page, it takes me to the Check vs Mate store page, but says I don't own Check vs Mate. I can download Battle vs Chess and play the game, and it's the same game as Check vs Mate.
TLDR: In the USA, the title of the game is Battle vs Chess, but it's the same game as Check vs Mate.

OK, I was confused because Rachel's note is wrong:
"Warning: The key for check vs mate does not activate for the same title for Non NA region buyers. You will get another title called Battle vs Chess if purchasing outside of NA. These are the SAME games, but 2 different names."
That's wrong and confusing.
In North America, you get Battle vs. Chess, which has been removed from sale on Steam, but does have cards.
Outside of North America, you get Check vs. Mate, which is in the Steam Store, but doesn't have cards.
The games are identical, except for the difference in naming and card drops.
Much clearer.

Bought and tried the key in Canada here, same thing. I believe we all get Battle vs Chess, as advertised on the Bundle Page.
