Anachronox and Hind land on GOG

March 15, 2012 1:00 PM

Ion Storm's 2001 sci-fi RPG Anachronox and 1996 helicopter sim Hind today joined the ranks of PC classics at virtuous virtual vendor of vintage video games Good Old Games, available DRM-free for $5.99 apiece. Anachronox launched to pretty decent reviews, but has gathered a fair following with its jolly japery and JRPG influences. It was developed by id Software veteran Tom Hall and his gang at Ion Storm's Dallas studio--not to be confused with the Austin studio behind Deus Ex. Shack sibling-site MobyGames has more information, if you fancy reading up before buying it. Hind, then, is a hardcore chopper sim, the follow-up to Apache Longbow, starring the Soviet Mi-24 Hind gunship. You get to fly missions in Kazakstan, Korea and Afghanistan, shooting things with your helicopter. There's more on MobyGames, and you can buy it this-a-way.

Get to the etc.

  This is great. I really don't know what happened with this game. I was looking forward to this game, then I bought it when it came out. I started playing it and loved the game... it was like playing Quake 2 the RPG... but at some point I got distracted and never got more than 5 hours into the game. I'd love to pick it back up again. They were doing some very cool things with the engine. This game is like the very talented red-headed step-cousin of Deus Ex... but never got half the respect of that game.

  If there was one game that deserved a remake its Anachronox. I'd even take a Deus Ex:HR style prequel at this point.
