Three weeks after the previous retro Weekly Sale, GOG is celebrating another one with Linux supported games from the late 80's and 90's (mostly). This is the complete list:

- Disney's Aladdin (1993) (Action)
- Disney's The Lion King (1994) (Action)
- Disney's The Jungle Book (1994) (Action)
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992) (Adventure)
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1988) (Adventure)
- Afterlife (1995) (Simulation)
- LOOM (1989) (Adventure)
- Sam & Max Hit the Road (1992) (Adventure)
- The Dig (1995) (Adventure)
- Stunt Island (1991) (Simulation)
- Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders (1987) (Adventure)

As always, it's best if you take some seconds to check the previous customers' reviews, since there are a couple of titles with some complaints, though the majority of them are highly recommendable games that you shouldn't miss if you don't own them yet...

Quoting: DrMcCoyThe LucasArts adventures, including Loom, are using ScummVM instead of DOSBox.

The problem with this Loom release, though, is that it's the VGA CD talkie version, not the superior EGA version. The talkie version is using standard red-book CD audio for speech and a lot of lines are cut (likely because of size/time constraints).

Also, IMHO, the dither-heavy EGA graphics of the original floppy version look way better than the VGA graphics.

Yeah, it's one of the best EGA adventures where the artists had really perfected their craft and knew how to make the most of a constrained medium. The Last Crusade adventure is a similar case where the VGA really isn't anything to write home about.

Great adventure games. I spent the 90's living under a rock, so it's time to finally try The Dig and some Indiana Jones goodness. :)

Quoting: GuestThanks for the information. I’d get LOOM as I remember reading great things about it back in the day, but it’s most likely a DOSbox wrap and I don’t want to spend hours fixing the config like I did for Pinball Dreams, and still end up with something I can’t play in fullscreen because it blocks alt-tab…

If we could have a universal DOSBox configuration, we would but that's impossible. You can, however, send us a message via our Support page and we can see what needs to be tweaked in order to reduce the time needed to tweak and configure a game. We won't be able to remove that step in its entirety but we can at least try to reduce the hassle :)

Quoting: CAPTNCAPSWHOA! Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is 0.74USD?! WHY TF IS IT 1.40€ THEN? 0.74$ == 0.70€ >_>
For me it showed USD 0.74, so it probably has to do with regional pricing. A similar problem happened to some readers in this article. Though currently I'm seeing these titles cost USD 0.80 now.

Thank you all for letting us know about the issue.
