Hi folks :)

In two days, I'll be a GOGer for exactly one year, and I wanted to use this opportunity to say "Thank you". :) Thanks you to GOG for making great (and often deemed lost) games available to me for little money, and without any DRM hassles. And thanks to this wonderful community for making this place feel like home so quickly. I actually find it hard to believe that it has only been a year. :)

I wanted to host a giveaway on this occasion, but wasn't sure how. Today we were notified that GOG had to pull the Space Rangers series from its catalogue, and I notice that there are quite a number of people who wanted to buy that game, but didn't already. These are now in a frustrating situation, as other shops seem to have pulled the games as well. Which is a pity, since the games are unique and quite good imho.

I happen to have one spare copy of each of the three games over at GamersGate. So, to give something back to this community, I want to give three of these people the opportunity to play a Space Rangers game after all. That's what this giveaway is about. :)

Rules:
- I will give away one copy each of: Space Rangers 1, Space Rangers 2, and Space Rangers 2 Reboot.
- Each game will be given to a different person.
- Please specify which game you're interested in. You can specify all three, but you can't receive more than one.
- Obviously, a GamersGate account will be needed to redeem the gifts. (I would have preferred to offer GOG copies in a GOG anniversary giveaway, but unfortunately I can't.)

IMPORTANT: To participate in this giveaway, you must have planned to buy the game already. If you just heard about these games for the first time, or if you simply like to enter the many giveaways in these great forums, please do not participate in this one - leave the games for those members who intended to buy it later, and thought they could wait, but now lost the opportunity. Okay?

The giveaway will at least stay open until Sunday, 16:00 UCT. It may stay open longer, depending on my schedule, but I can't tell that yet.

Excellent idea Psyringe, this will give GOG members one last chance chance to get those games.

I have to say i did not get on with Space Rangers 1, and have no interest in entering the competition.

But i'm sure there are lots of people that will appreciate and enjoy the giveaways.

Are the Space Rangers games restricted to Eastern Europe? Because I looked for them there today, but they weren't there.

I think Space Rangers has been taken off of all the distribution sites. However, if Psyringe bought the codes as gifts before they were pulled, then they are still available to be redeemed.

Nice idea, +1. Not entering because I have them from the 1c bundle. Congrats on being a GOGer for (almost) a year :)

Aren't there for me either. I think they're dead, JIm.

Not entering, but +1 for the giveaway!

I have all three games for trade. Please PM me if you are interested in doing a trade. Thanks.

Currently they have been pulled from every shop (except STeam), including GamersGate. However, I bought three spare copies at GamersGate some months ago. They were intended as giveaways to further a blog project I'm planning, but seeing the "NOOOOO" posts in the thread about their removal from GOG, I decided to change plans. :)

I can still download the games from GamersGate and can still gift them (I checked), it's just that they can't be bought anymore for now.

I was reffering to GG, not GOG.
In that case, put me down for Space Rangers 1. That's the only one I wanted to buy. Just to be clear, they're all DRM-free, right?

It is happening on almost all DD sites. In that thread it is mentioned that it is only on Steam, removed from the rest.

I'm in, Put me down for Space rangers 2 I got the first one on Steam sometime ago and am currently kicking myself for not picking up the second.

+1 for giveaway

Already got 'em, so not entering.

Yep. :)
