Imagine how big my sim collection is going to be at the $100 mil level! Woot!

DCS Steam Sale. Prices listed here:

Doesn’t really make any sense to use it there anymore, the prices aren’t competitive. Deprecated.

EDIT: Perhaps not a steam specific thing. We might just have been spoilt:

guys if you find FSX SE on sale for $4.99 pls let me know (christmas is the next sale? :smiley: ), I am considering upgrading my FS9 to FSX… btw will Carenado FS9 planes work under FSX? :blush:

Bell ranger helo on sale for x plane. Also the ssj 100 is on sale. @BeachAV8R did a nice write up on the 100

Both are $14.95

@weaponz248 - Dang…that Bell 206 is tempting at that price, but I just recently bought the Bell 407, so I don’t know if I need the near duplicity. Grrr…I’ll have to think on that one.

$47.99 for the 777. Hell of a great plane!

Take On Helicopters - probably one of the most underrated and overlooked sims out there (in my opinion). Yeah…some frustrating interface stuff, but the single player campaign is actually quite good and gives many hours of compelling gameplay…

80% off - $3.99

DCS L-39 Albatros on Steam at 20% off (can be used on Steam or Standalone):smile:

Origin ‘Essentials’ Sale. Some pretty decent bargains there. I don’t think 2033 is the remake Redux, but still, chump change…

Theme hospital is an amazingly addictive game. I bought it on CD years ago, but the game always glitched at a certain level and crashed. Multiple installs on multiple machines never fixed it. At a price of FREE I’m definitely going to have to retry it!

Is Metro on on the rails shooter? I really enjoyed games like Far Cry where you could roam around and do things with different strategies on the map.

It’s not really free roam, as it literally follows the subway rails :smile:

Its strength is really the story and atmosphere. Similar to The Witcher series, it fleshes out an existing set of novels, so has some nice writing and lore. It is pretty much the canonical ‘tunnel shooter’ though.

If the setting is of interest, personally I would wait for the remake to go on sale, as that improves pretty much everything - including some occasionally brutal gameplay balance of the original:

Metro 2033 Redux on Steam (I’ve seen redux go down to about $5? during Steam sales)

GMG Halloween Sale (getting in there early), mostly firesale stuff but Left for Dead 2 is a pretty good deal at that price:

The sale items work with the code WINTER-ISCMNG-22PERC as well (although not sure that’s intentional).
