Your body is but a vessel!

Omikron: The Nomad Soul, a revolutionary action-adventure game set in a thought-provoking virtual reality world set afire by the struggle between demons and men, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours!

Who are you, and what is this strange and wonderful place? Is it reality or is it all an elaborate mirage? Uncover the secrets of the magnificent city of Omikron and lead its inhabitants to salvation. A mysterious evil is at play, slowly but surely pushing the futuristic megalopolis towards the edge of eternal darkness. Explore the streets, hunt for clues, and fight for your life, while shedding one bodily confine after another.

Omikron: The Nomad Soul, is a game celebrated to this day for creating a setting of exceptional complexity. Its visionary world set a new standard for generations of game developers emphasizing ambient life, character interactions, and creative gameplay mechanics combined with an intriguing story. Omikron was one of the first games to bridge the great divide between the real and the virtual world; in fact, the project was so ambitious, even Ziggy Stardust became a prominent part of the production as the leader of a revolutionary band called The Dreamers.

Dive into the world of virtual reincarnation and get Omikron: The Nomad Soul, for only $3.99 on GOG.com. The offer lasts until Tuesday, September 3, 9:59AM GMT.

Nice.

Already have it on CDs but I guess it's time to pick it up.

It's a great game with a mix of gameplays (FPS, combat and action/adventure in third person view) and great music.

Damn it, I guess I'm going to have to sell some DVD's to pick this one up. There goes my streak of not wanting to buy anything :P

One question, to play this game is the user forced to listen to David Bowie the entire time as the game soundtrack?

What's the deal with the "VRAM" patch for this game? Necessary?

well you could listen to Justin bieber which might be more to your liking!

Shame no soundtrack, I'd like to hear it. I can't even find an illegal download that is still up or a legal CD to buy. I generally like Bowie but never heard the soundtrack.

Something tells me getting rights to the soundtrack with a major recording artist would be too tough for GOG, hence we don't have it.

Baby Baby Baby, he is such a song smith :P (the studio probably got someone to write that for him as well).

All I can say is, he crossed your mind, not my own! ;oP

I personally have never cared for DB so I rather not have an entire game with him singing in the background.

Tell me why I want it in a few sentences. :-)

What is the game about (game world, genre, etc)?

Only thing I know it is Cyberpunk and a classic.

gandalf.nho: How's the combat, especially the fighting one?
I have no personal experience, but here's the relevant part from a Gamespot review:
While the adventure style of play is the predominant style in the game, the action changes to a fighting-game format at key points, requiring you to show a little dexterity with the controller. For instance, when a confrontation with a wanted man turns sour, the camera view changes to a side view, and the game becomes a pseudo-fighting game, complete with life bars and special moves. Unfortunately, this game mode is extremely limited and lets you deliver only a small number of combos and moves. What's worse is that there's an easily discovered technique in this mode that lets you win each and every fight. Once you learn this technique, this fighting-game mode becomes incredibly predictable and boring - which is also a very accurate description of the first-person shooting mode that pops up from time to time. Neither of these action sequences lasts for more than a few moments, yet they still become incredibly repetitive because there's never really any danger of dying in either mode.
If you'd like details, check out this GameFAQs page.
