Just spotted this awesome bundle - Metro Redux Bundle at 80% discount, which includes Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux.Ah that's a great one, I've added it in to ensure people see it. Cheers.
GOG do WB sale. Now. With all the backlash WB gets from the shit they pull with shadow of war. You actually did them a favor by not mentioning it.I have no reason to mention it, the games aren't on Linux.
Right. There are some other Linux games on sale though.Well they have one Linux game on sale, one pre-order for a cheaper price and one in development listed. That's it.
Edit: Turns out they also have Bastion on sale, but it's only listed as on sale by hitting the WB sale link. Their store could use a little work.

I really want to get the MK 1,2 and 3 from GOG but why is it not available on Linux since it's DOSBOX? Does anyone own these and run them natively on Linux? I do mean these DOS version not any other emulated version.
Hi. I haven't done it with these Mortal Kombat DOS games myself, but DosBox is usually well-behaved under Linux. Below is a guide to using DosBox under Linux:

I really want to get the MK 1,2 and 3 from GOG but why is it not available on Linux since it's DOSBOX? Does anyone own these and run them natively on Linux? I do mean these DOS version not any other emulated version.Yep. GOG don't have installers for many DOSBOX games and then they don't list Linux for that game. DOSBOX is the same on any OS, so you can make it work. You'll need to install the game using wine or extract it (don't know the tools for that) and extract the game.
This is one of the reasons why I wish they'd just ship the raw game as well as installers.
You'll need to install the game using wine or extract it (don't know the tools for that) and extract the game.The tool is innoextract and can be found in most distro repositories.

Me too. I wish ROMS were sold and you chose the emulated you wanted to work with. Like the NeoGeo stuff from HB.
I bought it but now I am having trouble getting my Logitech F310 working with the game. Many on GOG are having the same issue on other platforms.
Quick question on Humble Bundle games for sale. How can you tell that the game they are selling is available in binary form along with the Steam key?I assume you want a DRM-free download?
Scroll down a bit below the video or screenshot, and check that the Tux logo is there:
Cool. So it has to say DRM FREE and have the Linux logo. Great! Before it use to say binary and steam key on the tooltip.
