(And a few dozen other characters, as well. This soul gets around.) While focusing on character interaction and puzzles of possession, the included fighting and shooting sequences may be less than spectacular. However, the substance of Omikron, exploring its oddly engaging and sometimes surreal gameworld, is more than worth a few detours.
The featured Bowie/Gabrels soundtrack may not be included as an additional bonus, but (next to ripping the game files) this may be the next best thing.

The good-old games of GOG are often hard to find and/or difficult to get working on modern machines. Many of them would warrant news of their release included in the 'Deals' forum; some would not. Therefore this thread proposes to be the compact depository of information regarding of classic games from GOG.com, as well as discussion concerning their deal-worthiness.
Special sales and promotions will continue to have their own threads.

ed it up). It's a fun game, but honestly it isn't worth $9.99. I would buy it at the $5.99 price point though. So, I guess I'll wait until it goes on sale.

That's weird though, with the music folder. I wonder if that's a 3rd party mod they used or something native. Hrm. Now i'm curious and will have to look into this at some point! =P
