all games from Wing Commander and Ultima series available on GOG.com are discounted by 50%. You have the chance to buy Wing Commander 4, or Ultima VII: the Complete Edition for only $2.99 until Monday, June 4 11:59 PM EDT.

Ultima is a series of fantasy RPGs created by Richard Garriott (a.k.a. Lord British more) than 30 years ago. The main story of Ultima universe, which takes place in the worlds of Sosaria and, later, Britannia, follows the unnamed protagonist (known only as the Stranger or later as the Avatar, an incarnation of virtue) through three “Ages”: The Age of Darkness (Ultima I-III), The Age of Enlightenment (Ultima IV-VI), and The Age of Armageddon (Ultima VII-IX). It’s one of the most influential RPG series, recognized for open-ended gameplay, in-depth morality system exploring mature themes like racism and xenophobia, and a rich and detailed world. Whether you want to try the original trilogy, visit thousands of colorful places and characters in Ultima 4+5+6, play through Ultima VII: The Complete Edition--arguably the best in series, find your way back home in Ultima VIII: Gold Edition or complete Ultima Underworld 1 and 2, the first first-person RPGs with true 3D environments, all these titles are available for only $2.99 this weekend on GOG.com.

Wing Commander is a series of 3D space combat simulators, described by the games’ creator Chris Roberts as "World War II in space.” In this series, you follow pilots of the Terran Confederation in their fight against the aggressive feline Kilrathi. Introduce yourself to the epic military space conflict in Wing Commander 1+2, play as Col. Christopher "Maverick" Blair (starred by Mark Hamill) and watch amazing FMV cut-scenes in Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger, enjoy fast, action-packed, and varied space combat in the most expensive video game of its era Wing Commander: Privateer.

In addition to that, because the Wing Commander series plays so much better with a joystick, we’ve approached the guys from Logitech and they were kind enough to offer a few awesome Logitech Extreme™ 3D Pro joysticks to our users. Leave a comment below for a chance to win 1 of 3 logitech joysticks. You can also enter a similar joystick-winning contests on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

Become the Ultimate Commander (THE ULTIMMANDER!) and buy the complete collection of EA’s Most Famous Classic Series for only $26.91, this weekend on GOG.com.
Wing commander does play better with a joystick. I really hope I win :)
A new joystick would be sweet!
Great promo. I've been thinking about playing WC3 again. I think I still have a Logitech joystick... buried in my garage. I've also been thinking about getting a new one.
Never owned a joystick before.
A free joystick would be awesome woooooooooooo
Awesome!
How well does Ultima 8 and Underworld work with the joystick?

rampancy: So is Ultima 8 worth buying?
It's not up to the level of Ultima 7, though its most egregious problems were patched long ago. At this price, I'd call it worthwhile. It's a much darker game than any of the others, and forces you to do some un-Avatar-like things to get through it. For those reasons, in addition to reduced interaction with the game environment, it has its share of detractors. It is very well presented, however, with a good plot and some interesting puzzles.

Underworld can use a joystick, I think, but I haven't tried it that way myself. U8 of course is mouse-and-keyboard only.
Nice promo!
Thanks for the joystick
I'm buying WC IV and Ultima 7. I feel that as an rpg fan my life is lessened having never played an Ultima game.

also, here's hoping for a joystick!
Would love to win a joystick - would mean being able to play X-Wing proplerly for the first time in years as well as Wing Commander (thank you! by the way). The Wing Commander games have always been amongst my favourites on any system, be it arcade, PC, or console.

I strongly recommend the Ultima Underworld games as well if you're new to the series.

If you're not a cutting edge graphics nut (which I doubt you are if you got Ultima 7), I think you'll find the atmospheric factor for those titles is through the roof.

They were the best Ultima games for me (though I did enjoy Ultima 7 and 8 as well).

I've been meaning to pick up the Ultima Underworld games for a while now.

I'd call the Origin Systems Most Famous Classic Series though. I know EA owns the right now but come on!
From Wing Commander 1 to Prophecy, the series has always pushed the envelope of gaming entertainment. First with Midi music in WC1, then recorded speech in WC2 and video in WC3. Culminating in DVD mastered copies of Wing Commander IV and Prophecy. The Wing Commander Series is a must-have for any fan and a joystick is essential to play on modern systems, especially with shortened keyboards.
Dagnamit! All these were on my wishlist, giving me NO reason NOT to buy them!

Yeah, so now I own them... and a joystick would be kind of handy for Wing Commander!
