    Are all of 'em PC only?

    Yeah, GOG only sells PC games. However, they are DRM-free, and a number of them use DOSbox to run anyway, so those should run on Linux as well. There is a thread on GOG on how to get a lot of the games to run under WINE or DOSbox.

    Ahh, so many good deals, but they'll total up to a rather high number if I buy all of them! I would buy Beyond Good and Evil at this time if I weren't waiting for the HD console re-release, however long that takes. And this would be a good time for anybody who doesn't already have Psychonauts to pick up a copy.

    Also, the whole Myst series has issues on any modern setup due to their heavy reliance on Quicktime, but GoG is as good a place as any to get them at this point, so I'll recommend those as well.

    Broken Sword deals are tempting, but it looks like Steam has the first three in a $10 bundle (including the Director's Cut version of the first one).

    So yeah, hmm, not sure if I'll end up buying any of these, I think I'll just keep scrolling over this gigantic list with my mouth agape for a while

    I ill definitely be buying some of the games from this sale. This is the best thing about Christmas - ridiculously good deals on digital games.

    You can now grab a free copy of Tyrian 2000 from GOG.com! Fantastic!

    I already own too many of those.
    But The Feeble Files for 3$ is a total steal.

    I still have the Feeble Files original CDs around here somewhere... last time I tried playing it a few years ago, it was under a Win98 Virtual Machine, and it worked pretty well :)

    Now would be the perfect time for me to buy Simon the Sorcerer.

    How come you haven't listed 'Combat Chess' Dashing?

    Are you a checkers man or something?

    I use ScummVM and have made some Cds with all the videos I had to convert so the game would work.
    I'd rather pay 3$ than do that again.:D

    I am thinking of getting Buried in Time for 3 bucks - I have it in a box and I cannot get it to install/work on my XP computer. I really don't want to get it again, but can't be bothered sorting out Virtual PC. Though I am thinking the GOG version may not work with my computer either...

    The games on GOG come with dosbox etc. and should be preconfigured to run on modern PCs including XP machines.

    It's just as well I didn't get Buried in Time as it turned out to be nmindexing process on my computer blocking it somehow. Finally after months I can play this game! But first I'm going to get the rest of the games on my list at gog!
