GoG are giving away FREE copies of Dungeon Keeper and its expansion, The Deeper Dungeons for the weekend, and offering a monster 75% off discount on Dungeon Keeper 2 (reducing it to just $1.68).
For two of the best games ever made, this is a steal, especially compared to the godawful tablet/moble version EA released a few weeks ago which requires you to spend vast sums of money to do almost anything at all in the game. This is really the no-brainer alternative.
DK1 and its expansion will work on PC and Mac. DK2 is PC only.
Ooohhhoo! Thank you.

Both games have been upgraded by GoG to work fine on modern machines. DK1 certainly is fine on a W7 machine. DK2 might be a bit flakier because it's a full 3D game (DK1 is 2D only; there was a 3D-accelerated version but I don't think the GoG version is it) and might clash with modern graphics cards. But so far DK1 has played very smoothly.

Not just the D&D games... for example, the amazing System Shock 2 is on sale for only $1.49 too.

Dot for later, since I'm at work.
Any indication of the memory requirements?
For Dungeon Keeper 1 + the included expansion, GOG lists the following minimum specs:
PC:
- Windows XP or Windows Vista
- 1.8 GHz Processor
- 512MB RAM (1 GB recommended)
- 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)
- 2GB HDD
- Mouse
- Keyboard
Mac:
- OS X 10.6.8 or later.
- Intel Core Duo 2GHz+
- 1GB of RAM
- 64MB of video memory
- Recommended two-button mouse or Apple mouse with Secondary Button / Secondary Click enabled
The PC requirements for Dungeon Keeper 2 are the same. (DK2 isn't available for Mac/OSX.)
FYI, if you get a DirectX error and you're running Win8/Win8.1, download and install the older DirectX 9 End-User Runtime Installer to install the DXD3 support the game is looking for.
In case anyone missed the giveaway, I have a spare copy. First come, first served for those with a GOG.com account:

You mean that horrible piece of crap on phones and tablets that you have to spend a lot of money on to play it as it's supposed to be played?
In this case, I think he's referring to the DK homage made by the German game developer: Dungeons.
I... I missed it...

Getting the original Dungeon Keeper? Or the Dungeons remake?
I meant the giveaway the OP noted (as well as th $1.68 sale price for 2, though I was less enthused, as I'm working on saving money right now). I just didn't see this thread until today.
These are a set of games that I've long sought to play, but never actually have.
They run sales quite often, so just sign up for their newsletter (I get maybe one or two a month) and you'll likely have another chance at the D&D RPG classics in a few months. I grabbed a bunch of them last fall (I think) for similar pricing.
And congrats on the saving, BTW.
Thank you, and thank you. :)
