MOM @ GOG


I just spent $6 at gog.com for one of the best games ever made.

They also just released the entire King's Quest, Space Quest, and Gabriel Knight series. I can only hope Police Quest is yet to come.

Fuck point and click. Long live the text parser.

    That's the way to go after the Elemental debacle.

    Is the gog version somehow improved from your actual in-the-box copy?

    BTW, Tim, I play MOM pretty regularly. Civ-style empire building plus Heroes of Might and Magic-style combat holds up indefinitely.

    To Aaron's point, I do have the box copy, and bust it out every year or so. It's continues to be great. With GOG's nicely packaged Dosbox version, though, I don't have to deal with any compatibility bullshit, or patch, or walk down to the basement. Totally worth $6.

    The traffic you sent it as a result of this post must have overwhelmed it.
