Humble Bundle Continues With Introversion

People familiar with the PC indie games scene may recognise Introversion Software from their previous games Uplink, DEFCON and Darwinia. The UK developer has given its support to the now famous Humble Indie Bundle charity drive with the Humble Introversion Bundle. For your money, you get four games:

Uplink (2001)
Darwinia (2005)
Defcon (2007)
Multiwinia (2008)

If you pay above the average for your chosen platform you also get Crayon Physics Deluxe and Aquaria, both games which have appeared in previous Humble Bundles as well as two technology demos for voxels and Introversion's now postponed game, Subversion. As always, pay what you want for the pack and help out Child's Play along the way.

All of these are fun games. The only exception I'd make is Defcon, which I do not have. I might toss a couple bucks at them just to get that one.

Defcon is awesome! I remember playing a game with Everlost way back when it was first released and he absolutely skelped me.

This is the first Humble Bundle where I actually already own every single game.

So of course I gifted it to a friend instead.

Seriously, this is good gaming. If you don't have at least one of them, pick it up.

I own all of those games already, and surprisingly I've even played them all, although I haven't finished most of them. Darwinia alone is easily worth the asking price. It's a lot of fun and a unique take on the strategy genre.

I highly recommend that people spend enough to get Aquaria. It's wonderful.

I think it has been discussed here before pretty thoroughly, but Uplink is the best 80's-movie-hacker simulation ever. It is awesome fun.

Just to update this, indie favourite Dungeons of Dredmor has been added to the Introversion pack as a bonus game and Introversion are offering access to the complete source code for Darwinia/Multiwinia, Uplink and DEFCON, just in case you like to tinker. It's also the first time the Darwinia and DEFCON source codes have been released to the public (Uplink has a Dev-CD you can purchase)
