GOG Celebrates 14th Anniversary Sale; 5 Historic Games On Sale (And A Mod For Each) feature - SWAT 4

GOG has kicked off an anniversary celebration for fourteen years of delivering classic games to their storefront. Some great old titles are on sale and many of them have mods that are right at home on ModDB, so here's a look at five of 'em and a mod for each!

SWAT: Elite Force is a massive overhaul of SWAT 4: The Stetchkov Syndicate, making it into a more realistic tactical police simulator. The mod features over 40 new pieces of equipment, including equipment cut from the original game, suppressed versions of the original weapons, grenade and wedge 3-packs, and new equipment entirely, combined campaigns, campaign co-op, overhauled AI, and a host of other improvements ranging from immense to minute to fine-tune SWAT 4 into something special.

STALKER is somewhat renowned for the scope of its cut content, some of which was quite ambitious, and so this team decided to remake those stunning areas. Not intending to be a 1:1 replica, the team instead brings their own passion to the table in an effort to faithfully restore what they can. In early 2009, GSC released a build from 2004, which contained many old materials, and so the team experienced a second boom of extra content which now makes up part of the mod as it stands today.

DXN - Deus Ex: Nihilum is a First Person Shooter mod set in an alternate Deus Ex continuity. In 2049, unsavory conditions are rampant throughout the world. As soon as it becomes clear that a terrorist attack in Shenzhen, China, was carried out by perpetrators with ties to international groups and that Hong Kong may be their next target - the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition (UNATCO) dispatches their first nano-augmented agent, Mad Ingram, into the city to prevent the situation from escalating any further.

Nali Weapons 3 is a big weapons pack for Unreal Tournament, ranging from the normal rockets and miniguns to a flame thrower, gravity gun, little robots and even full on nuclear warheads, along with tons of gore and some magic in between. The mod contains over 15 new weapons, including nuclear weapons, drones, freezing and flaming guns, and the list goes on. Such a tight arena shooter like Unreal Tournament 1999 is powered by its sandbox and player skill, and this mod expands the potential in both!

From the depths of the ether, or just the cutting room floor, comes forth several NPCs, some quests, and other miscellaneous content which was created but never implemented in the game. If ever you had the feeling that Skyrim was missing something, you were probably right! This mod should relieve a bit of that. Villages that were supposed to exist have been brought back. Quests that were partially implemented have been completed. Various items have been restored that were still in the data files. NPCs have been brought back to the game and given homes where appropriate. Plus plenty of other random bits of stuff that was mentioned in the game but didn't exist yet.

There's our picks for five games from GOG's "14th Anniversary" sale, running still until October 9th. Are these also your top picks, or have other classics taken your eye? Let us know in the comments below!
