Bioforge Released on GOG

Amidst the Mac rollout, GOG also quietly released Origin's Bioforge! Although the game is highly praised by those who played it, the game was not nearly as popular as its WC or Ultima siblings, and it isn't particularly well known today. GOG has kindly included a handful of bonuses such as the game's manual, "field personnel file" and official strategy guide. Still not sure? You can find a vintage review of the game at Pix's website here.

Ben Lesnick: Great news today: GOG.com has released Bioforge, one of Origin's under-appreciated gems. Although sold as an "interactive movie," Bioforge was actually the culmination of early 1990s adventure game development. It's as lovingly crafted as any Wing Commander or Ultima, another rich world created by Origin. Also, it has the shuttle from Super Wing Commander in it. And you can choose to beat a blue guy to death with his own arm.

The game also had a brief cameo starring the shuttle from Super Wing Commander! Check it out in the shots below (the third picture is from Bioforge), or watch ths SWC intro.
