We’ve got some great news for all the classic lovers – 8 timeless titles published by SNEG will soon join our catalog: Prophecy of the Shadow, Great Naval Battles: The Final Fury, Buccaneer, Renegade: Battle for Jacob's Star, Savage Warriors, as well as Wargame Construction Set, Wargame Construction Set II: Tanks!, Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905 + Campaigns, and Wargame Construction Set Pack (gathering all games from the WCS series).

Let’s take a closer look at all of that retro goodness!

Prophecy of the Shadow
A 1992 fantasy role-playing game developed by Strategic Simulations for MS-DOS. In this title, the land is slowly dying, and it is your mission to find out why. Your character is a disciple of Larkin of Bannerwick, but when he is murdered, you are blamed for his death. What’s also unfortunate is that you possess magical powers, but the king has outlawed all magic.



Great Naval Battles: The Final Fury
A compilation of all titles from the Great Naval Battles series – naval vessels combat simulators. All of them depict different conflicts, ranging from World War I to warfare in the North Atlantic during World War II. Every game provides a choice between individual ship views and fleet command views, and you can choose individual stations to operate during the game.



Buccaneer
A 1997 action strategy game in which you command a pirate ship in the Caribbean during the 17th century. You have a choice of six campaigns with varying goals, or you can just engage in standalone ship-to-ship battles.



Renegade: Battle for Jacob's Star
Published in 1995 and set in FASA's Renegade Legion universe, this title is an adaptation of the Interceptor board game mechanics as a space simulation shooter. You’ll find yourself as a pilot in a distant part of the universe, flying missions solo or with your wingmen.



Savage Warriors
A 1995 fighting game pitting warriors plucked out of time and forced to battle each other. It features 10 main characters and 5 secret characters fighting over interactive terrain with a variety of weapons.



Wargame Construction Set
A 1986 strategy game that lets you design and play turn-based tactical battles. You can create scenarios in many different time periods including modern day, ancient times, 1800's, and even in the future. With the complete control over all the units, and customization of their firepower, movement points, strength, aggressiveness and other statistics, you can truly become the battleground mastermind.



Wargame Construction Set II: Tanks!
A 1994 tactical level wargame of armored conflict from WWI to the 1990s. It offers limitless small scale tactical armored confrontations using the various tanks and tools of mechanized warfare. You choose one of three climates, pick opposing forces, and assign objectives. In addition, there are over 20 ready to play historical scenarios and a campaign feature included.



Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905 + Campaigns
A 1996 strategy that simulates battles throughout the era of percussion rifles, roughly comprising the second half of the 19th century. It provides several dozen battle scenarios, as well as a scenario editor in which you can develop your own battles.



All of that classic gaming fun – soon on GOG!

Nice, and according to this article we should also be getting Star Command and the Phantasie games:

Plenty of good stuff, but I guess we won't see them for at least a month (seeing the time distance between most recent SNEG "coming soon" and "release" )
I remember Renegade: The Battle for Jacob's Star having great reviews at it's time. Unfortunately it went under the radar for most gamers. I suspect that was because the Star Wars and Wing Commander games were still casting their shadow over the space-sim ganre when it was released.

Nice that many people will probably discover this hidden gem now.

For anyone who buys Renegade: the Battle for Jacob's Star, the game is a DOS game and its game executable is R.EXE. The batch file RENEGADE.BAT simply points to R.EXE.

Renegade: the Battle for Jacob's Star requires Dosbox or one of its variants (Staging, X, etc) to be run.

It also has CD audio so GOG's release will probably have a GOG / DAT , GOG / CUE, or BIN / CUE file pair as well.

Nice. I will be a lot of fun having Renegade: The Battle of Jacobs's star again (I loved the settings novels and tabletop games so I got this ASAP once it was out.) plus getting the rest of the Great Naval Battles series. (My family owned I, III, and IV when I was a kid) Buccaneers looks great as well. Now if only they would get the Steel Panthers games.
Ready for "Prophecy of the Shadows"! Can't wait to roam that game again. Great additions!
And finally arrived two of my most desired wishlisted classics, SSI Naval Battles series and Norm Koger's Wargame Construction Set series. And a very unknown CRPG also from SSI (Prophecy of the Shadow), interesting title, indeed.
I always saw in it some similarities with Ultima 7 in rough
TYVM!
Is GOG Sneg? Is Sneg... GOG?
Anyways, great re-releases. Also kudos to SNEG for releasing some of their games on consoles, such as Chasm and Blade of Darkness!! Way to go!
Wonderful news! Been waiting for a lot of these games!
Wow Age Of Rifles that sure takes me back to my original PC days.
