Never played it but I always wanted to try it.  5 Bucks is the price of coffee so it is worth trying now whatever the result.

Since everyone is avoiding saying that it is worth it (other than to note that wasting $5 isn't a big deal), I feel safe in assuming that no, the game isn't really worth $5.

If the best one can say about the game is that there is another part coming out in the future, my suspicions are confirmed.

Thanks, all.  I almost wasted $5.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Darklands is now available for 6 bucks at GOG. I still have my box of the game (traded it many moons ago against my copy of Daggerfall). One of the best written manuals ever, IMO, with plenty of background info about life in 1400s Germany. :)

WOOT!  I have missed this game.....ever since my 3.5" floppies with it failed, and I couldn't re-install :)

One of my all time favourite games.

I wasn't impressed with the demo. You could try it and see if it works for you.
I found it oversimplified, but it does seem to be popular.

Berkut bought it.

Now you need to tell us about it, Berk.

Picked up Airstrike WWII, an aircady WWII fighter game. Very easy and fun to play with the mouse, only $5 for the next 40 min.

One complaint that I have is that after each mission, time advances by a month, whether you win or lose. So if you screw up and crash into a hill right after takeoff ( :blush: ), you might not get to replay the mission with that save.

Scipio

Solium Infernum, Armageddon Empires, and Six Gun Saga all half price from Cryptic Comet with code NEVERONSTEAM.  Apparently, the games got rejected by Valve for Steam.

Great sale on great games with card mechanic.

:hmm:  Solium Infernum looked interesting when I read an AAR a while back, I think it was at Paradox.
