The lights are on
Looking to add a little adventure to your day? Episodic experts Telltale Games just released details on a limited time offer – The Great Adventure Bundle. Available for only one week, the bundle includes six PC games, current and classic in origin. For $19.95, players can check out Hothead’s Penny Arcade Adventures: Episode 1, Daedalic’s The Whispered World, Activision’s King’s Quest Collection, Deck 13’s Jack Keane, and Telltale Games’ Puzzle Agent and Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space.
If the bundle doesn’t already have enough intrinsic value, Telltale also plans on dishing out 25 percent of each purchase to your choice of five listed charities. The charitable organizations include Childs Play, Electronics Frontier Foundation, World Wildlife Fund, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and Nyota e.V.
The deal is a steal, but there's a slight catch. The two Telltale contributions – Puzzle Agent and Sam & Max – are locked until a certain number of donations are reached. The move is intended to provide extra incentive to share news of the deal among friends in hopes of reaching their lofty goal.
Plan on picking up the Adventure Bundle? Make your way over to Telltale before September 10, when the offer expires.
That's a really great marketing strategy, even if it sucks for anyone hoping to play those two games right now.
Pretty cool, if alittle weird. Charity FTW!
Never heard of any of those games, except Sam & Max. But, say, the two games never unlock? Heck, if ya spent you're money on something, seems like you should get it...
Great cause but i have never really heard of these games so i'm not sure if i'm going to get this.
I hate bundles -- even if they're for a good cause like this. I just don't want King's Quest or that awful looking Puzzle Agent. Why can't you just check which games you want in the deal, and just get those, like whenever Gog.com puts bundles on sale?
If I could somehow just get Penny Arcade, Sam & Max, Jack Keane and Whispered Word, I would. But eff ancient ole' King's Quest and Puzzle Agent. Seriously that game is awful looking. The worst style I think I've ever seen in a game. It reminds me of some wretched little New Yorker "cartoon" or something...
Reminds me of the Humble Bundle. Really hope people keep making bundles like those two. Great games for great causes!
I'm just broke right now for this impulse buy.
