He basically intercepted the .dll calls between the engine and directx. There is a lot more to it then that, but that is the most simplest way of putting it.

Haha I know! That is what I was thinking and makes me want to just pick it up at $10...

No idea what your talking about, but seems legit I'm just glad a few people understands and willing to dedicate their time in doing fixes/modding such as this for the community. From a preview of this game I heard it was pretty painful to play on keyboard/mouse, and framerate issues still persists. I don't mind the control issues as much, but hopefully someone would be able to fix framerate issues.

Indie Gala 8 sounds promising. Definitely in for a group buy.

Really curious what the ARPG series is... no way it's Gothic. Couldn't really find any likely candidates on Steam.

Sounds like another batch of 1c games to me: King's Bounty, Theater/Men of War, etc. If you bought the GG 1c complete bundle (or you are going to buy the upcoming Amazon one) then it's probably not worth it unless you want the Steam keys so badly. Hoping to be proved wrong...

My bet is Sacred Gold. It's on Steam and published by Strategy First (publisher for some games in other IG bundles). It's cheap enough to be in an Indie Gala bundle, and fits the "complete collection" hint.

Good catch. Seems likely. I'll kick myself a bit if they include Dark Star One as I just bought it during the Summer Sale for $2.50ish. Ah well, just means some lucky Coconut Queen will get my spare key from my $1.50ish group buy!

Re: King's Bounty. It's not an action RPG. Doesn't really fit the description.

Re: Achtung Panzer. It's not on Steam but it is a Strategy First published game. I think we're looking at a Strategy First bundle.

The parts for my rig just came in!



Too bad that the hdd and case arrive Monday for some reason.

I'm really curious about the ARPG series as well, since I enjoy playing those games a lot. Definitely excited for IG8 when it releases.

Nope.

And don't stress about the plot, or doing anything 'just right' in this game. Treat it like a cheesy 80's action movie, with horrible plot and voice acting, but lots of actions and over the top explosions.

As dumb as it sounds, if it had Steam achievements, I'd have no problem with paying $10 for it. Since it apparently doesn't, I shall wait and hope for a sale.

I actually misinterpreted it's not really 'series' but 'collection' so, as sunghost notes, Sacred Gold would fit this as it's the game + expansion.

My guesses:

- The complete collection of an awesome and award-winning action - RPG

Sacred Gold

- One of the few games that bring the tactical and strategic warfare of World War 2 to the PC.

Achtung Panzer.

- One of the most original and irreverent games ever made.. where you play as...

Ghost Master.

- A solid driving simulator where every regulation of chassis matters.

One of the Flatout games.

Other stuff will probably include Dark Star One (argh why did I buy this during the Summer Sale!), Disciples, Space Empire, Port Royal, etc.

Those seem very likely, not sure about the driving simulator though. I was actually very tempted to get Ghost Master and Dark Star One during the summer steam sale.. glad I passed on them now.

Dark Star One is an okay game. I stuck it through to the end but thought about quitting numerous times. 'Shallow' is the best descriptive I could give it and it's really a shame. The engine is nice and they have a solid framework in place to make an interesting experience but it's basically just slaughtering system after system of generic pirates while you upgrade your ship and slog through fairly repetitive missions. There's basically no point in trading or accepting mercenary missions at the various trade stations.

None are at all necessary, but the Black Market Boom pack (now 49 cents) includes the Air Propulsion gun, which sounds lame, but is actually the best way to clear out crowded, heavily armed places. It sort of makes you invincible to close-range attacks and for some of the tougher missions is almost indispensable. I've certainly gotten my 2 quarters' worth out of that DLC pack. Every other piece of DLC isn't as good as the stuff you'll find easily in the game.

Possibly that. Never really played the Flatout games (or any driving game, not a fan of the genre) so that guess was a bit uneducated.

Damn I bought Ghostmaster for 9.99 back in 2003 lol. (rebought on steam during summer sale) caved into the wife.
I'll pick up Skyrim in 2012 in the Indiegala XXX and finally see why Nancy is a happy whore.
