GOG lists both the 2004 and 2014 versions as being supported on win7. They're not always perfect at that of course, but at least they do have a money back guarantee. Your disk is probably infested with evil, evil DRM and that is why it won't work.

 

They also have bundles on sale at the moment, though since they're persistent until the last day of the sale people may as well just check on that last day (Saturday/ Sunday).

Thinking of the Divinity Trilogy deal. Hmm Hmm, I have never played any of them yet.

It's worth it. Beyond Divinity not so much but the other two are pretty good.

I have disk version of Heretic Kingdoms and I'm sure it doesn't even run on Windows 7 without hacking an exe?

 

 

Try compatibility mode.

All the bundle deals are up now, along with some indies over the weekend and Div:OS for 40% off as well. Pretty good options there (Lucasarts, Paradox, M&B, Gothic, Divinity, Men of War, D&D especially), though I expect most will have already played/ already own most of them.

Hmm I have not played most of them, but I somehow do not like the whole bundles. I like only few games, and they are thrown into different bundles

Well, some people were really itching for this!

Star Wars Xwing and Tie Fighter are getting digital premiere of the collector's editions of these games! And if you own the original games on GoG already, you'll get upgrade to collector's for free!!!

 

Man slowly I am getting the vibe, that Disney buying LucasArts was the best thing to gaming ever!!! I just wish they would contract the new games to someone else than EA... But if man can't get every wet dream fulfilled, he should be happy at least for the few

Sweeet.

They also have the release of Rebel Assault 1&2- not great games- and the two Jedi Academy games which are pretty good, plus 2 bundles of their entire SW content. Of course, I have half the content of the cheaper one on CD/DVD and precisely none of the more expensive one but still, pretty good value.

For those who care about LucasArts Star Wars content, sure. For those only interested in their adventure games ....well at least it hasn't gotten worse.

Unfortunately Lucas Arts Adventure games are lost cause more than 15 years :/  At least they put it for purchase on DRM-free platforms.

Still missing key titles like MI3 and Full Throttle on any digital platform, while "lesser" lights like The Dig have been available on Steam for years. No rhyme or reason to it, but at least it's not something we can blame Disney for. An optimist might suggest the titles being held back are perhaps because of planned remasters, such being the case for Grim Fandango and the upcoming DoTT, but it's still hard to fathom and not a peep has been heard about them.

For some people was Steam never an option, so Disney has a big bonus point from them right now

Upcoming Star Wars movies and the belief that the SW titles will sell better is the most likely reason, I'd think. The new titles on GOG seem to be above and beyond their initial agreement with Disney so it seems likely that more titles will be coming, and there aren't that many SW titles left now.

All these space opera titles are nice and all, but where the hell is my Curse of Monkey Island?  GOG and Disney aren't getting a penny from me until I see MI3.

Is this still just Windows and Mac or have they included Linux in this go round?  I was invited to the closed beta but declined since it didn't support my OS of choice at that point.

Linux version is 'soon', I believe.

Has anyone gotten their GOG Galaxy invite yet? I requested this morning, but haven't received it.  I'm eager to try it, though.

Linux aint for gaming

Yes I got it few days ago, but not redeemed it yet.

If you got it a few days ago it was technically an invite for the 'alpha' rather than the beta as a big batch of unsolicited alpha keys went out then.

 

I believe the beta uses the same system as is used for their game giveaways to stop the servers crashing ie you sign up and when it's not busy they send out a key/ register the title to you rather than doing them all at the same time.

 

Also, Fantasy General and Pacific General have been released. Most significantly, they're published by GOG themselves rather than via a 3rd party as they have previously done.

Yup it was indeed Alpha Invite, just because I was traveling, I had no chance to redeem and test it out before today.

Galaxy is going to steamroll Steam.

 

They are going to kill at E3.

I'd hope that Galaxy can break up some of Steam's monopoly but I guess publishers would have to stop making most games Steam exclusives. But considering that Galaxy is supposed to still be DRM free I'm not sure that will be the case. Hope I'm wrong though
