Giveaway update (10/10): The giveaway winners will be announced Monday afternoon in this space and contacted via email, in the meantime you have a few more hours to participate and enter our contest. This is the first of many giveaways we have prepared for our readers for the remainder of the year. Thank you for your support.
Original story is below:
Good Old Games is just about that, reviving PC gaming classics. Having started with just two publishers and 40 titles backing them up, one year later GoG.com has expanded to include nearly 30 publishers and over 130 games, among which are such classics like the original Fallout, MDK, Duke Nukem 3D and many more -- priced reasonably between $5.99 and $9.99 for a DRM-free copy.
Good Old Games is just reaching its first anniversary, so we thought it would be a good idea to check back on them to see how things were going (and get more freebies for our readers, of course). We talk with the service's PR manager, Lukasz Kukawski as he comments on some of the challenges the service has faced, their DRM-free model, and a few other tidbits on the GoG operation.

I would love to win Far Cry. I have heard fantastic things about the sequel to, but have never had a chance to play either. As for old games I would like to replay, Lucas Arts had some fantastic ones that unfortunately do not work on Vista, like Rogue Squadron and Droid Works.

Games I'd love to win: FarCry
Games I played for hours on end and would like to play again: Starsiege, Mechwarrior & BattleTech 3025 MMO Beta before it was shut down /cry. A little of Battlezone too! *searches through old boxes for CD*
Man that list brings back some good memories especially of the BattleTech franchise, thanks for the article and giveaway! And Tom didn't know you played MW, which one? BattleTech.com & MekTek.net are working on getting MW4 + all expansions out for free as a download most likely to hype up the reboot of the franchise which btw looks awesome if you haven't seen the trailer =D.

I love the way the comments got shorter and shorter hehe :P
I must say the game I most want to add to my collection would be Price of Persia: Sands of Time, would definitely like to win that. Had many friends who went on about how great it was, yet I never bought it, a regret that hopefully you guys will fix! :P
and from the old days? well, don't kill me, but I go back to the days of Crystal Quest for the Mac SE, that game was awesome, play it sometime! worth it (it gets damn hard though)
