If you haven't played one of these Frogwares games, now's your chance to pick one or all of them up for a great price:

GOG - Sherlock Holmes

Well that's interesting.
GOG has had Secret of the Silver Earring for years, but not the the others.

EDIT --

If you already own Secret of the Silver Earring, the GOG checkout may tell you you can only get the pack as a gift because you already own an item in the collection. If you remove Silver Earring from the purchase list, the checkout allows you to uncheck the box for purchasing "as a gift" and buy the rest of the Sherlock games at the 80% off price.

That seems odd to me Jenny unless I'm not understanding your post. When I look at those bundles it separates out the ones I already own and has the others pre-checked and totaled up.

Maybe they fixed it so it automatically removes the game you already own now. I'm sure there are a lot of people who bought Silver Earring a long time ago and would like the rest of the games. The same is probably true of their other "Bundleopolis" packs.

When I looked at the prices for the individual games, they were only 40% off. It looked like I had to purchase the entire pack to get the 80% off price. But when I tried to purchase the pack, the checkmark for "purchase as a gift" could not be unchecked and it gave me that message about not being able to buy the pack because I already owned one of the games. It didn't remove Silver Earring automatically the way it apparently did for you.

I don't know. I've looked at things throughout the sale but didn't try to buy anything, but in prior sales bundles have separated out the ones I owned and I have purchased the ones I didn't already own, with no problem.
