@aggiejd: some games are just classic, and worth $3
FYI Ultima 3 is the one on the NES wikipedia.

I am buying a bunch of these... Especially Wing Commander: Privateer. That was an absolute classic back in the day that I spent months playing through. $2.39 is totally worth no longer having to fool with DOSbox and my original CD.

bought all the wing commander games. lots of fun, brought back good memories of hacking the autoexec.bat to make 2 work, back in the day.

@aggiejd: I agree in theory, but GOG is a great step forward given that IP law has been completely poisoned by unchecked lawyers. I'd rather pay 3 bucks for a DRM free game than not have it at all.

@aggiejd: I agree things like copyrights going on a thousand years beyond the creators' death is a bit much, but that anything ~20 years old should be free is extreme in the opposite direction. Being convenient and cheap is a good way for these games to be.

the ultima games were the best. you can get some of the individual games on that site for free too which is nice. I am downloading ultima IV now for free which was always my favorite. thanks for link.

So, how are the ultima games different through this gog thing, vs playing the originals using Exult? I already own these, but it's such a bitch to find a floppy drive to install u7 again... will these work right out of the proverbial box?

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
