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.
Also... Don't miss our GoG giveaway!

I would like to receive - Comanche vs. Hokum
Advent Rising - was a very good game and I like Orson Scott Card a lot. Too bad that the trilogy was actually one game - released in 2005. I would like to live and see the other two games...

If I could, I'd like to get the original Quake, but it probably wouldn't run on an XP 32 bit NTFS system.

Ok, so I lost. Big deal. I was just wondering: TechSpot says they RANDOMLY selected the winners, but they also say that you could double your chances "by mentioning any other PC gaming classic you loved back in the day". How is that randomly? Surely they have to check the entries first if mentioning an old game is doubling my chances. And if they check first, where is the random-factor?

Hi Mike. Most people mentioned old classics they liked, those who did were considered twice in a random selection in an excel sheet, like getting two ballots with your name rather than one.
