Hot damn, you guys. Hot damn. Good Old Games — GOG.com — is now selling old Activision games for six bucks a pop. And you know what Activision owns? All the old Sierra games.<\/p>\n

While the ink’s likely still drying on the legal paperwork, GOG.com is already offering up Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura<\/em> alongside Sierra classic Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers<\/em> with additional games to be rolled out “gradually in the coming weeks.”<\/p>\n

Here’s more from GOG.com’s forum<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“In a landmark deal for the DRM-free digital distribution movement, Activision Publishing Inc. is bringing a wide range of classic games to GOG.com!<\/p>\n

<\/a>It’s now official, we’re bringing you the biggest announcement in GOG.com’s history – Activision with it’s wealth of PC gaming gems has joined our DRM-free family. With the announcement we’re revealing first two classics which should be instantly recognizable to any fan of good, old games:\u00a0Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura<\/a> and\u00a0Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers<\/a>. Other games from the Activision catalogue will be unveiled gradually in the coming weeks, so expect more from this publisher during Month of Activision on GOG.com!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That’s some nice work, there. Can’t wait to see which other games get offered up for sale. The DRM-free bit is icing on the cake, too.<\/p>\n
