Get the 1993 version of Syndicate from GOG this week
The original Syndicate – a tactical Bullfrog classic from the brain of Peter Moluneux – is coming to Good Old Games this week. From January 19, you can grab the seminal strategy for just $5.99. This is particularly good news for Australians, as it’s the only version of the game we’re allowed to play, but for everyone else, it’ll be a fine primer to the franchise’s future world ahead of Starbreeze’s shooter in February.
Thanks, Gamefront.
