Got all of the Shadowrun trilogy through GOG Connect. Thanks GOG! Currently playing a bit of Dragonfall in between Nier: Automata, The Long Dark and of course Dark Souls.

Got Silver, Red Strings Club and Crossing Souls :D

Getting Full Throttle free was a nice surprise. I remember finishing it in one sitting on a friend's computer back when it first came out. (It was a Pentium 90 which I envied thoroughly. I think my own machine was a 486DX4-100 at the time.)

Got Silver, Red Strings Club and Crossing Souls :D

I got Red Strings Club last Steam Sale and one late evening I though "let's just give it a quick go and see what it's about" and I got so hooked it kept me awake until early morning and I finished the game in one sitting :D

And here I thought I was going to be responsible this pay cheque.

Thanks GOG :)

i've spent 15 euros so i received Fantasy General and EVERSPACE keys and i already had these games in library so i can give away, ask me in private message bc i've been told bots could automatically collect and redeem keys if i just paste them in comments, first wins obvsly gl :D

Why don't you post it to github, so that it's easier to bookmark/follow/download/etc? I get very discouraged every time I see someone trying to maintain a comprehensive info as a forum post.

I only go on gog.com when gol posts about free give aways. I got so much free stuff from there thanks to this site, and you just came through again. you rock :D

I've had Shadowrun Returns on Steam for about 5 months but GOG Connect says it's unavailable. Does anyone know if I need to have played it for it to get picked up? I haven't touched it yet.

I had the same experience (hadn't touched Shadowrun Returns, etc.) -- then, on Steam, I clicked on install, and refreshed the GOG connect page; only then did it recognize the game.

Thanks for that. Still no dice for me, though =/

Edit: Finally showed up the next day.

I finally broke down and bought an old game to run with AdamHM's wrappers. Tried MOHAA, a game I played quite a bit BITD when I used Windows. Anyway, seems to work great so far! Thanks for the wrapper.

One question; can anyone describe to me how to make the UI text larger. I'm running a 32" 4K monitor, and I can just barely make out the text. About double the size would be great. Don't care if it's pixelated, as long as I can actually read it.

I guess it depends on what desk you're using but on Gnome you can change the font size under tweak settings or in xfce under appeareance in the font tab settings. Can't remember now if you could also change there the DPI in Gnome, in xfce you can, and whether that could improve the experience.

Hope that helps :)

how do I get free copy of Full Throttle Remastered to launch through Steam in Linux mint it in the game library on mint but doesn't show up on add games list, tried linking the start.sh but nothing happens

From what I remember, the Steam client doesn't handle folder names with spaces well. If you go into the link properties, you will probably see the folder path is cut off.

Oh my.. excellent selection. Having a backlog piling up it will be hard to resist.

…hmmayhap one or two won't hurt? No? xD

Got Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall and Trine added through connect ... but I also have a few titles I---did I buy them? I don't own them on Steam, but I don't remember buying them on GoG either. Hmm. Oh well, Merry Chrismahannuquanzika to me.

I have several games on GOG that were just thrown onto my account when I created it and a couple other freebies from sales. Mostly very old games like the Ultima franchise.
