If they are exclusive as not bundled before and the price is right, maybe.
I hope on Toonstruck, missed it the first time.

I'm just gonna go right ahead and assume you won't be able to use coins for this one.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. :P

First time I assume something and it turns out I'm wrong. I'll assume I shouldn't assume anything from now on.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, I'd say you should go ahead assuming things if there's an ever so slight chance that doing so actually affects the outcome to the positive as in this case ;)

Groupees, love to put those coins in bundles, then restrict them to crappy music bundles... I have like 3 of those Anti matter coins floating around and can never use them as any high priced bundle is immediately restricted from using them.. grrr..
Comment has been collapsed.
Meh.
For old games (like those from Interplay) that don't take advantage of any Steam features anyway and are even sometimes inferior to the versions on GOG, I'd rather have them on the latter if anything.

Some user says "GOG version is better" - it works on better emulation, yeah. But I play my retros mostly only on Steam. And all worked well. What's the problem?
Comment has been collapsed.
That GOG ensures the games are actually playable on modern systems. Steam ensures that there is an EXE file you theoretically can start up. At the luckiest, the Steam version works about the same as the GOG version, but apart from publishers not updating their games on GOG, I am yet to find a single game that works better on Steam than GOG.

And that's the best case scenario, after letting games slide with no exe files at all :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually you do.
Doesn't need to be the one from the game though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Interesting. So when you're running ASF on a server there's no exe involved ?
Just asking out of curiosity... I know as you've pointed out repeatedly the hardware to do that is just ~ 30 bucks but I'm afraid setting it up like that would be beyond me plus the desktop app fulfills my needs very nicely.
Comment has been collapsed.
Of course there is no sort of any exe when running ASF on Linux, exe is windows-specific.
This thread is not a proper place to discuss ASF internals though.

Just 2 (not intentional) but the whole V3 part has become redundant by now as I kept V2 additionally for a while after migrating to V3 because it took me some time to get used to the new key redemption modes but I looked into it and deleted V2 quite a long time ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah not better. (If they don't use the GOG version) But it works.
I have no problem with any game, but I understand why people play retros on GOG.

It still surprises me that out of all 3rd party stores and bundles, Groupees are the one who somehow managed to have good contacts with Interplay and keep getting Steam keys of their games. It's not their first bundle with Interplay games, i remember last Remute bundle had almost entire Redneck Rampage series.
Comment has been collapsed.
And thus the vicious cycle continues. Groupees gets overlooked and downplayed due to Humble being seen as superior by many people, thus devs of the best games start to refuse Groupees featuring their games, and only hurting Groupees in the long run. They need to start considering Groupees as a better name for games than retroactively hurting them.

They were always niche, the "best " publisher they could got was Daedalic I think, with Edna &Harvey, Fire and Anna's Quest. Most of their games were well below the average indie-bar of HB, or even BS/Fanatical, which is pretty weird, because they really did lack good quality, known indies for the vast majority of the time.
Comment has been collapsed.
each major bundle thing has a niche
HB= general high quality even at the one dollar level.
BS/Fanatical: costs in-between low and high tiers of HB but pretty good quality
Indiegala: Rather low quality but sometimes lines up a great indie bundle often at a cheap price.
Groupees: Back in its better days a mix of good GL stuff, some nice indies (fruitbat factory stuff, and even Hellsinker) and some VN bundles; but these days.... there's been a real drop in quality gamewise (dunno about comic/etc bundles) Hard to say what caused it but it's quite clear (even compared to HB post IGN buyout)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep. Groupees never was on par with HB in getting the big names, but they did get interesting and unique stuff - often very good ones of that field. Now somehow that's gone.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah and annoyingly enough they're not quite at the point where one could 100% blow off their stuff without risking missing out on a gem.
Remute stuff has been consistent (maybe not consistently great, but once you get a grasp of his taste, you can have an idea of what to expect)

They had good BeMine but now it's a trash. Haven't purchased anything from Groupees for the last 2 years or so.
Comment has been collapsed.
Groupees gets overlooked and downplayed because they have an abysmal reputation of honouring their contracts and after a time, many indie devs just did not want to get near them. And this is not even touching the while Be Mine Anniversary controversy from last year.

But Interplay games are "expensive" in sales. So it's a great way to get it cheaper.
I mean all released Rampage games (exept Redneck Rampage: Possum Bayou - but this is an other tropic) + Titus The Fox (retro too) + Adventures Of Hendri for 2.50$. It's awesome!
The games cost 6$/€ on Steam during the sale. (per game)

+1
Though I'm more surprised Interplay still around considering they were dirt broke not too long ago. Maybe they found a buyer and haven't said anything?

Groupees is kinda lacking on gaming bundles lately, if you want Music and crap, Groupees is the way to go, their game selections normally leave alot to be desired, it's typically very over bundled stuff or games that are so horrible developers have no choice but to give them away.. Now groupees is like my fifth bundle site, just due to the fact they almost never do game bundles anymore.. it's like Comics, music, non game software.. then a game bundle with like 3 - 4 games, and of those 2 of them have been bundled over 15 times.. ugh..
Comment has been collapsed.
Might be something to use all those coins on depending on bundle price.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll be annoyed if so. I'm sitting on $28 of coins.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the coin reminder. I already gave up on and forgot about my 34$ in coins, now i'm only sitting on 17$ left.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm trying to find $2 of coins I can steal from a friend until I have money to pay them back -_-
Bloody $30 tier, why must you tease me

Descent?
But I think Descent to Undermountain is more likely, unfortunately.

Thank you for your heads up, buddy! I really like classic and old school games and I play them still a lot so this bundle could be a lot of fun for me and for those who like these games too. ^^

Guess this is why those games suddenly got CD key packages after so many years.

Hey, the bundle page is now up: https://groupees.com/vip4
Should I make a thread with a poll & other info (guesses / confirmed / number of games / chart) or do you prefer keeping this one for this purpose? In the latter case, are you able to keep it up do date / add the full chart on launch, add new info as it comes up etc?
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, please make a new thread with a chart. I love how you make those each time.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would go ahead and make the chart and post it and the code here so that the OP can cut & paste it above.

I purchased every Interplay game upon release because they never saw bundles or even discounts beyond 30%. Now they keep giving them away. :D They’ve cost a fortune, but I’ll support retro games for life! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I got them all at gog at -90% (bundle discount), but it was quite a while ago, now they rarely go below -50% and some of them had a 2x increase of the base price.
that said, I'm hoping to get this one in the bundle: http://store.steampowered.com/app/630690/Interplay_Solitaire/
Comment has been collapsed.
I bought them all at GOG as well for a 50% sale quite a while back. They have a great catalog.
And yeah, Solitaire is the most expensive single title I purchased at $15 during a sale but would be nice to see it here too. I plan to buy this bundle to make giveaways as I love this catalog and love to share retros. :D

Interplay VIP Bundle will be accepting coins for the first 24 hours only!

It's time to waste them. I hope the 50 is enough...
Comment has been collapsed.
For once we get an opportunity to spend them and I have just over 50 too.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have just over 25, hope that gets me something I want this time.
(I already spent high-value coins twice -- once on a music bundle to get the extra prize for the #1 contributor, and once on the Limited Stock VIP Bundle that had Brigador.)

Is it possible to use the -$1 Deluxe Mega Saver? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
nice. :D
thanks for your fast answer.
And can I combine Coin + PP? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, if I remember correctly. Been a while since I did that. (The Deluxe Mega Saver is worth -1, so you'll have to pay an extra dollar if you want to combine that one with PP. I would only combine that with a higher-value coin ;))
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, I just spent all my coins recently after keeping them for years lul like worst timing in the world, it'll definitely be overpriced if they'll accept coins...

Maybe a bit overpriced, but eh. 3.15 and all the coins I had, fine by me.

I used two coins and 2.34, so it's fine here too. ^^

$15 and $30 tiers ?!!
"a bit" is an understatement here :D
looks like a bundle just to get rid of those big value coins people have been holding on to for years..
Comment has been collapsed.
If you missed all is it a good price.
I missed 2 in T2 and 1 in T3. So it's to expensive to me. Only if any split...anticipation destroyed. :D
Maybe next time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Used all my coins, except the stupid negative ones! Thought I would never use them!!!
Comment has been collapsed.
Three things on my Steam wishlist, many more on my mental wishlist, and fifty-five cents after using nearly all my coins!
With coins to use, good deal!
Without?... yipes, a bit pricey, but I could see the $5 tier being worth it -- those particular games and Giants are what I was really hoping for from the bundle.
