As some of you may remember, I am a huge fan of pc games, despite my lack of time for them lately, especially in foreign languages. Especially adventures, rpgs and other such dialogue heavy genres are a great way to immerse yourself.
Right now, gog.com is having summer sales. There are daily sales and shorter offers. Today, you can buy for exemple Broken Sword 1-4 in several languages for great prices but there is much more. So, if anyone else is a gamer, this is one of the ways to get more language practice and it is not expensive. One more note: The gog community has been constantly asking for more languages for the games. The more voices sound in the "yes,please" chorus, the more likely it is the staff will see the potential in providing us with them. Not only many games have several localisations, many great games have a different "native" language then English. And quite a highly voted suggestion is a tool to search games by language. I am not in any way paid by gog by the way. I am just a happy customer who enjoyed Broken Sword 1 in Spanish during the last few months and can't wait to have time for new adventure games in Spanish and German. And I think giving a recommendation may be useful to some of you and to one of my favourite eshops :-) Languages often found in gog.com sold games: English, German, Spanish, French, some are in Italian, Russian and Polish. A few in Czech,Portuguese,Norwegian and I think I saw Japanese somewhere. Edited by Cavesa on 18 June 2014 at 4:57pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Most of the old point and clicks are useable with scummvm. Even if gog don't offer a bundled linux version that works out of the box, its not normally too much of a challenge to get them working.

GOG is adding linux versions for some games now. Broken Sword is not yet available though.

I'm going to buy Witcher 1 and 2 which are on huge sales until monday or so. 1 is for two dollars, 2 for four dollars. Not only the games are awesome and I am sooo looking forward to having time for playing (in a month or so) but these are the language versions:
Witcher 1: Audio: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Russian. Text: Chinese Witcher 2: Audio: English, French, German, Polish, Russian. Text: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Czech, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Chinese, Turkish, Brazilian-Portuguese, Korean. (last two pc only, not on ios) The games are rpg with awesome story and lots of dialogue. I played 1 in past and only began 2. I think 1 won't be a trouble for my laptop and we shall see for 2. 1 person has voted this message useful |
