1. We’ve got games your 10-year-old won’t be better at.
GOG.com offers you critically acclaimed games from major publishers in every genre. Don’t let your kids mock the graphics; remind them that the classics never go out of style, unlike their totally wicked haircut.
2. So you’re cheap. It’s okay – we are, too.
We sell games for $5.99 and $9.99. For less than the cost of a lunch at some lousy diner you can own some of the greatest games of all time. No matter how big the file is and how successful the game was, you’ll leave the table satisfied that you got a great deal for your money. As an added bonus, our house specialities won’t make you sick.
3. You buy it, you keep it.
Don't let your DRMs turn into nightmares (clever, eh?). You won't find any intrusive copy protection in our games; we hate draconian DRM schemes just as much as you do, so at GOG.com you don't just buy the game, you actually own it. Once you download a game, you can install it on any PC and even re-download it whenever you want, as many times as you need, and you can play it without an internet connection.
4. All games are Vista and XP compatible.
Thanks to our handsome programming team, the classics are now Windows Vista and Windows XP compatible. Now you can use your lightning-fast PC to unleash the full potential of those games you just couldn’t play properly on that busted old 386.
5. Extend the experience with tons of cool and exclusive add-ons.
Buying the game is just the beginning. With a purchase of any game at GOG.com you'll also get some great additional materials for free, including game guides, walkthroughs, wallpapers and more. No joke.
6. We’re bringing together classic games and a classy community.
Dive into the GOG.com community, share your love for the games and meet other gamers with the same passion for the Good Old Games as you. Rate and review every single game, discuss your favorite titles on message boards, get support for your games and help others. Who knows, maybe you’ll find that special someone.
7. It's so easy, your gramma’s probably already playing.
GOG.com is so easy to use. Just a few clicks will get you on your way to playing some of the best PC games of all time.
easy account setup
simple, fast and hassle-free downloads
game installers as user-friendly as can be
DRM-free games make it easy to re-download, install on any computer or even back them up on a CD.
