Sacred Gold (Underworld Included) - $5 At Gog

[DaveO 88]

I noticed today that a LOT of the titles that GoG has on the catalog are going on sale. One of which is Sacred Gold which has both Sacred + the Underworld expansion. I don't know how long the sale goes on for, so if anybody wants a digital copy of the game GoG is a pretty cheap way.

Not a bad price at all.

 

Sacred is so old though, will it run on Vista or Windows 7?

Yup, I play it on vista, and it works fine.

Yes.. Runs fine on Windows 7 as well.

 

For what it's worth, Microsoft did a bang up job making Windows 7 very good at backwards compatability... Heck, I was able to play Castle of the Winds (parts 1 and 2) from start to finish - without so much as a hiccup, belch or crash. That would make it more backwardly compatible with Windows 3.11 than even Windows 3.11 or any version up to and including XP. That game is from 1992-1993 or so if that tells you anything.

That's great deal. Guess I should check 'em up for some other ones. Already have that Sacred.

 

Wolfie: Wow, that brings back some memories. Should try to find those games from somewhere.

Not so sure it's still commercially available. It's pretty much abandonware. There are free links for the game (both parts) all over the place.

Sigh...it cost me $60 aussie (basically 60 us at ther moment but was closer to 90 us back then) to buy the original and expansion separately on discs...and now I could get both for nothing...

Ack! But back then, it was shiny and new and now - not so much. That's what happens when you buy games when they first come out. You pay full price. It's just like buying a car. You want the latest and greatest 2012 model? No problem! It'll only cost you an arm and a leg. Wait a few years for the depreciation to kick in and they suddenly become a LOT cheaper. Such is life..

Are the servers even up anymore on any of the versions of Sacred?

[Knuckles 904]

There are plenty of servers for Sacred 2:Fallen Angel. But Underworld servers have been off-line for quite awhile now

Actually they were a couple of years old when I bought them...most games are released at approx. 80-90 aussie dollars...

Good Old Games dropped the price again to $5. I don't know how long the promo is, so I'd advise snagging a copy if you have not already.

If people have Steam but not Sacred Gold/Underworld, the Summer sale has it at $4.99.(This price may be over July 10.)
