No.. it's 50% ALL the games.

The whole pack costs $34.99.

And boy some of them really don't hold up to the test of time. I'm blind from playing 10 minutes of doom 2.

Read again.

It's 50% any id game, including the super id pack.

Too bad, the only way for me to get Steam games to get them retail and then add them to Steam (which means I am limited to Valve games). Steam does not accept my Visa Electron, just because it cannot get my bank statement's details (which are in Cyrillic and apparently Steam only accepts Latin (that is what their support team told me)).

I bought this when it first came out, sadly I had to get a full refund as most were not working on Vista, something to do with the batch files they were using to launch some of the earlier titles. Anyone know if this issue been fixed now as I would like to purchase again if it has :)

I think Commander Keen is the real gem in the id Pack, and I'm sure others agree based on the popularity of Abe's Odyssey and the X-COM series.

It's a shame that when you buy duplicates they can't be gifted, except for the Orange Box.

Mkay, not interested. Maybe four or five years ago (for most of them). I appreciate the classics back when I enjoyed them, but that simply is not the case anymore. I can't fire up Doom, Hexen, or Wolfenstein 3D and say, "Yeah! AWESOME!" The only game on there that I would possibly play again is Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Everyone else, enjoy!

Blasphemy! ;) Doom II still rocks. :D

I'd get this if I had the money to spare, but I don't at the moment. :( Anyways, I already own several of those titles. Still, its a shame, and it'd be nice to have backups of a few. ^_^ Ah well.

Yea I feel the same way, at the very least, backups of old games.

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
