I honestly thought it was abandonware, you learn something new everyday.

Yeah, GoG have (intelligently) picked up a digital distribution model and grabbed ALOT of the previously abandoned(or semi old), now legally sold stuff.
Most though wern't ever available as abandonware, though they crop up now and then!

Also for $5.99...
Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri!!!

Probably THE greatest strategy game ever made!

-Awesome mechanics
-Awesome diplomacy
-Great storyline
-Genocide
-Ecological warfare
-!!Science!!
What more do you need.

*Srsly, if you like old games, get your ass to GoG. 99% of it works fine on modern systems(they tweaked them if necessary) and they are dead cheap.

My favorite is.....

1830 Railroads and Robber Barons!





It is a really fun, fairly short game about buying stock in rail companies, buying trains, reinvesting capital and paying dividends. In the end the goal is to make the most money by having the most valuable stock & cash combined.


Random maps, different difficulty, different starting situations and many custom options make it an awesomely replayable game with hours of fun for the up and coming Rail Tycoon 


I'd say more, but thats about it, you buy and dump stock, you take over companys and buy trains and lay tracks, thats pretty much all there is to it, but it's done really well!

Makes me want to play wasteland again. Maybe.

Ahh. The good old days.

My current For The Glory w/ AGCEEP game as England.
Everytime i've conquered France in EU2/FtG the game has always crashed soon after. Autosave this time, I learnt 
Despite conquering most of france, other nations are now catching up. Going to use my tax revenue to colonise the worrllddddd.

*Oh and i'm working on diploannexing Scotland and Brittany.

My first instinct would be: No. You need more landing legs.

But I've never gotten to the moon myself, I always miss.

FTFY

Those aren't landing legs, they're struts that didn't come off.

Lol.

The good news: I got my kerbins to the moon in one piece.

Spoiler: The bad news: (click to show/hide)

DoubleLol.
