Police Line. Do Not Click.

Something's happening here on GOG.com, as you can see. Very official. Anyone caught violating the police line will be shot on sight. Unfortunately, we can't comment on what's going on behind that police line, and we certainly can't encourage you to come back here and check the site over the weekend to see if clues have been revealed as to what it is. We most definitely can't suggest that you share any ideas you have about what this might be in the comments below.

Because that would be tempting you to click that link. And we all know what happens if you do that.

This time featuring a page covered in police tape and random ASCII. Any ideas?

Maybe they're releasing Police Quest.

 

[Maniacal]

I have Police Quest 2 lying around somewhere, I picked it up for $2 at a thrift store and never played it.

Well, they already have Kings Quest, so it wouldn't be unexpected for them to add another series of extremely frustrating and sometimes obtuse adventure games.

 

[Maniacal]

Police Quest would be a correct guess, along with Zork.

Zork I, Zork II, Zork III, Beyond Zork, Zork Zero, and Planetfall for $5.99 with an incredibly, excessively massive 9 megabytes total size.

Police Quest 1, 2, 3 & 4 for $9.99

GOG.com was up to something again today, AND IT'S BIG.

They signed a deal with EA! 3 HUGE games now available! Ultima Underworld 1+2, Wing Commander, and Dungeon Keeper! WOW

They already announced that Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri will be made available too! Finally I can get a hole of this AWESOME game with the expansion pack, which I have never been able to find.

I almost fainted.

No wait I did.

 

[SuperJay]

Nice, Wing Commander, Dungeon Keeper, and Alpha Centauri? That's pretty awesomesauce right there.

I bought SMAC at Walmart YEARS ago.

 

[Rub'Rum]

Me too, I got SMAC years ago in a store. Just not the elusive expansion.

Also try fnding SMAC at your Wal-Mart TODAY.

Also try fnding SMAC at your Wal-Mart TODAY.

I know in Britain you can buy the game with the expansion as a budget release in many places that sell PC games.

 

[Rub'Rum]

*grumble grumble* whatever Britain *grumble grumble*

 

[vmxa]

I used to have SMAC and SMAX and the guides. I move tossed them out. I still have the guide from Vel for Alien Crossfire. Not played in years, just got burned out. Maybe I will give it another shot.

 

[Maniacal]

There was an expansion? Why did no one tell me?

 

[Thormodr]

Mmmmm...SMAC and SMAX...

 

[Maniacal]

Meh...I wanted Tiefighter vs. X-wing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SMAC was easy to find on Amazon. I bought a copy last year.

 

[Disgustipated]

smac x could also be found on the laptop collection. That's where I got mine. But I didn't care for the expansion that much. the original release is the best.

SMAC (but not SMAX) has now been released by GOG. See here for more information.
