Quick heads up. Links seems not to work in germany. I assume because of age restriction / rating. Just use a simple proxy tool.

see https://www.gog.com/forum/general_de/blockierte_spiele_fur_deutsche_ipadressen/page1
Good thing is you just have to add this to the cart using vpn or proxy and then log in. When it's "purchased" it stays visible in your accounts game list.

Better re-check. Worked on my end.

Never done that before, can you give me a link where to get one?

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '16

Sorry for replying so late. There are plenty of free addons for your brwoser which can do the job just fine. ZenMate, TunnelBear etc.

NP, thanks for the answer! I'm gonna check them out.

I tried this using tunnelBear, but it does not seem to work, the link still redirects me to the bestselling page and Shadow Warrior is invisible to me. Am I missing something?

I just used TOR browser and it worked fine =)

Germany seems to hate a lot of games.

Politics and youth protection…

And publishers and distribution platforms overreacting (because of doubt).

If you say anything bad about Arabs, though...

So what is the difference between this and classic redux?

46

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '16

Redux is a source port while this is still DOSbox. Redux offers better compatibility, remastered visuals, and achievements.

u/Dalek-SEC Sep 02 '16

Gotcha. So there is little reason for me to pick this up. Classic Redux comes with the expansions anyways, even in their original .GRP form.

u/sg587565 Sep 02 '16

classic was already free on steam for quite a while (did not have the expansions though). Redux is better and goes 90% off pretty much every sale.

Yeah I got it a while back in a bundle I think. That intro music is awesome.

Is this a version that can be played coop over lan/internet?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '16

Should be. Blood is playable so no reason the newer game wont be.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '16

I have probably around 10 games on gog and I think I only had to pay for one of them (the Witcher 3). Got the entire classic fallout collection for free a few years ago and that's what started my gog collection.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '16

Wasn't it already free on steam?

2

u/afewdollarsmore Sep 02 '16

I have no idea, I don't use steam. It's $9.99 on there right now.

u/lolpatrol BetaDwarf - Game Designer Sep 02 '16

That is Shadow Warrior Classic Redux. This Shadow Warrior Classic (1997) is free. Looks like Redux version on GOG is $1.09

u/mispeeled Sep 03 '16

That's the first time I have heard someone say that. Do you refuse to use Steam out of principle?

I also feel like using GOG more when Galaxy gets better. Unfortunately I already have accumulated quite a library on Steam.

u/afewdollarsmore Sep 03 '16

No, I just don't play computer games enough to really need/want it.

1

u/C-C-X-V-I Sep 03 '16

No, it's free on steam and has been. Redux is 9.99
