For folks who've been on the list a while, this is old news that crops up about twice a year - feel free to ignore this. If you're new, or missed earlier deals, I thought I'd pass it on.
The site gog.com sells legal copies of various computer games, including old games configured to run on modern OS's. This weekend they're having a sale that includes Betrayal at Krondor and Return to Krondor, You can buy both for under $5 US combined (and they sell world-wide, so if you're not in the US you may still be able to purchase). They're guaranteed to run on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 (toying with picking them up and trying them under Windows 8, though I own original signed CD-ROMs of each). The games came first - Krondor: The Betrayal is based on the game, expanding on what happened, and other books in the Krondor series fill in around the story. BaK is often considered one of the best games of it's kind of all time, even by people with no other interest in Ray's books. Return to Krondor is entirely different, not quite as good in the gameplay department, but still a lot of fun. Betrayal at Krondor is bundled with Betrayal at Antara, built on the same engine but unrelated to Midkemia - and apparently broken, with a bug that causes it to crash. Betrayal at Krondor is worth the price by itself, though, so I'd just skip Antara entirely. I get nothing from the sale of these games - Ray may still get a few pennies, I don't know (and I'm not asking).
