Malcador Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Wow, that is good news. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Slinky Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 OH GOD PLEASE release all the old classic LA adventure games! That would be great. I just wonder is LA going to make more special editions, or at least thinking about doing more. If they are, I doubt they are going to let GOG sell the originals now.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hope they are the originals, just played via DOSBox or ScummVM, only in that I am one of the very small group of people that actually own a Roland MT-32 and I can play the old games in all it's original musical awesomeness. <3 <3 <3 Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoonDing Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'd like a special edition of Loom, and FINALLY the canned sequel to be made. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoraptor Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 EA, Square Enix, LUCAS ARTS, M$ Game Studio and Take 2. OH GOD PLEASE release all the old classic LA adventure games! So, Gog is (presumably) going to get xcoms, finally. Rather ridiculous that every single digital distributor except the old games specialist had them. You can get a good idea which titles of EAs are likely coming by the cease and desists they are (and have been) sending out to abandonware sites over the past month or so.

entrerix Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 im sooo happy that gog is taking off and growing. its such a great distribution system. I've only bought about 5 games from them, but look forward to buying many more in the future. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Indeed. If I had to guess... I think The Ultima Collection as well as the Wing Commander series just might be coming to GOG.... *cough* Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidesco Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The entire LGS collection would be a nice addition. Also cool would be Bullfrog's games and quite a few Westwood classics. EA has been sitting on the biggest pile of PC gaming classics for years, the bastards. Syndicate, Terra Nova, Ultima Underworld, and Blade Runner would be a nice start.

Lexx Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Bullfrog games would be fancy. Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital and so on. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I played Theme Hospital again a couple of years ago, rather simple but great fun and pretty funny. I remember not getting into Dungeon Keeper at all but Bullfrog would definitely be nice to see.

But what do you mean specifically by "special edition"? Monkey Island 1&2 got re-released with upgraded engines as special editions. Got them both, and would get the special editions of Sam & Max Hit the Road and Day of the Tentacle instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I guess there's less value in it because unlike the later games, the first two Monkey Island games were not voiced. I see a lot less to be gained by remaking the later fully voiced games, and indeed redoing their quirky and charming art styles might be a net negative. I suppose this applies to the CD releases of Loom and Indy4 as well, although in those cases there's a bit more room for movement on the graphics front. Slightly less popular suggestion, but I'd like to play the Heroes Chronicles series one day - on release it was viewed as cheap opportunistic tripe I know, but the more HoMM3-engined campaigns I can play, the better.

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

That's not how it works. It works similar to other distributed computing systems like folding@home. The number of users speeds up the process. It is not a total = progress system, but a total = rate system. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
