For fans of old-school RPGs - Planescape Torment - $15

[Xevious]

This game was kicking around ebay for $$$$ for a long time when it first became out of print. I noticed the game is going for $15 on Amazon.com now.

Its a bit of a classic. May be of interest to some people here.

If you're not married to the idea of a physical copy, it's available on http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/planescape_torment for $9.99, and includes a soundtrack, some art/avatars, and a pdf of a making of book.

What OS do you need for this game?

 

[cRodz]

just how old school is this?

in b4 point and click adventure/RPG

It says Windows 95, 98, and ME

But I did remember playing it a few years ago on my Windows XP. Besides a few crashes to the desktop, It ran okay.

I ran it on Windows 7 with some issues, but I forget what issues those were.

Anyways probably the greatest WRPG of all time imho, till Mass Effect 2 even though many won't call that a WRPG.

Great game, Mort is my hero. But for a 12 year old game it should probably be less than 15 bucks, even for the physical copy.

 

[buckythekat]

definitely grab it off GOG.com instead, digital and they make sure it runs on modern systems

seconded for gog.com... tested and DRM free

Thanks for sharing the deal for the physical copy, OP!

However, I also recommend going for the GOG.com version as it's DRM-free, and comes with extra goodies. Regardless of which version you own, definitely check out the links below to update the game with fan patches and mods to improve the game's UI, bug fixes, etc.:

Baldur's Gate 2(Also on gog) I think is atleast involved in that conversation. Stole 200 hours of my life, mod community was awesome for that game.

i love gog.com. between baldur's gate and planetscape years of my life have been wasted! lol.

Thirded.

spending 15 bucks on a physical copy when you can spend 10 and support a really, really, really great company like gog.com

Not to mention the physical copy isnt designed to work on modern operating systems but gog's is. And the more we buy from gog the better the chances are they will bring even more great games out on their site.

Thanks for the link to all the fixes. the ones I'd tried before didn't work very well.

Buy from GOG.

This. AND it's been tweaked to ensure that it works properly on current hardware / OS configurations. AND it's $5 cheaper. AND it comes with a ton of bonus stuff. GOG.com FTW!
