Check out the following for more cheap older games. They have a good mix of genres some cheaper than GOG, others slightly more expensive. Well worth keeping in your bookmarks for those times you year for an old game. :)

Thanks WR. This doesn't seem to be up to the GOG standard yet, but is interesting. They don't have as many games and don't seem to have the premium content that is available with GOG. I think they had about 160 games and I think there are some that aren't on GOG. Also, as you said there are some pricing differences so perhaps they have some good deals. The site went down for maintenance shortly after I started looking, but I will go back and check again later in more detail. If nothing else they will be worth watching to see how they develop from here.

They look similar to when I first discovered GOG, so you are right; they will probably develop their site and grow bigger.

They are currently giving away 5 games. One a day for 5 days today is day 3. I just downloaded Robinson's Requiem. Day 4 is Dragon Breed. Day 5 is WarZone 2100. Sign up for the site and click on News. The free games are the first entry. This is to celebrate their being one year old. They also have several games free in the regular game list.

Looks like they are going to be doing something similar to GOG w.r.t. giving away some games free all the time.
I have the following listed in their catalogue as free:
Tyrian
Drascula
Beneath a Steel Sky (also free over on GOG)
Flight of the African Queen
Warzone 2100 (just for today 5th June)Looks like Warzone is just for today. I missed the first four days; wasn't really looking. you can purchase most of the ones they gave away for Euro 1.99 which is dirt cheap. The crusoe game looks pretty good as does the Goblin one. I may just get them as they are so chap. :) didn't realize this site had been around for a year. Only stumbled upon it the other day when I was searching for free games to post for the free games project.

GOG also has for free the game Tyrian 2000 which was update 3 of Tyrian. It fixed bugs, added a level and added ships. Not sure which version DotEmu has. Also free at GOG are Dragonsphere, Lure of the Temptress, and Teenagent.

I'll have to include those games in the free games project soon. Posted the others from GOG quite some time ago apart from Dragonsphere which was only given away a few weeks ago.
