    For your nocturnal fortitude you have been given a tip for the realm........Go to bed!!!

    That is on DK2, I got that after I started playing when I got in from work one night, got in around 1am and that happened after 2am

    Wonder if this is the Win95 or DOS version. On GOG you get both, Win 95 certainly looks better.

    EDIT : It is the DOS version running through DosBox, you can change to high res mode once in your dungeon by pressing Alt & r, looks a lot nicer. If you want the Win 95 gold version then you need to buy it from GOG, the gold version also has the expansion included.

    Re: Dungeon Keeper available free via Origin 'On the House'

    Didn't we already have Dungeon Keeper "On the House"? Must check when I'm back home.

    Well, at the very least it shows there's life af NoX. That game had been "On the House" for ages.

    EDIT: Ferral is correct. Got the free version (Dungeon Keeper Gold) from GOG.

    Re: Dungeon Keeper available free via Origin 'On the House'

    Dungeon Keeper was free in on of the GOG sales for 24 hours earlier this year

    Funnily enough this weekend it is an EA promotion on GOG and you can get the gold edition for £1.89, there are also other titles like Ultima, Magic Carpet and so on equally as cheap

    or just use the CD version you still have on the self, next to the floppy version of bubble dizzy - prince of the yolkfolk.

    Wow Origin you are so generous, giving away a 20 year old game.

    That almost counter acts their ridiculous prices for their new games..... oh wait... not by a country mile.
