IwubCheeze: Take no Prisoners by Raven software

Never heard people talk about that game but it was so much fun. The original disc doesn't work on modern OSs though :(

tinyE: XD I got so goddamn lost in that game. There was no way I could ever remember what subway took me where. :P
Really? I'm sure the ingame map told you where the subway took you. However, it's been years since i played it so I might have forgotten.

Good call, but dont forget its sister game Mageslayer also by Raven.
Its impossible to get running in D3D mode these days or without rainbow effects in software mode.

It was just called Ripper, if you mean the FMV game with christopher walken.

No Blizzard games on the list, hmm? :-(

tfishell: Seeing as many of these games have hundreds or thousands of wishlist votes, I think there's little reason to believe GOG forgot about them. The issue is always legal or technical. For instance, it's a safe bet that GOG would LOVE to have NOLF (especially exclusively for as long as possible), but legal issues are apparently preventing a re-release.

However, like Bouchart, I am surprised about some of the games that are missing here, especially DOS titles that should in theory be easy to bring, like Maxis Sim games.

Personally, I want more Humongous games, and I wish the Speedy Eggbert/Blupi games would have been accepted. I grew up with eGames-published titles (shareware discs) like Eggbert, Demonstar, Crazy Drake, Nebula Fighter, Star Miner, Wacky Wheels, Safari Kongo, etc.
You know - we really need to change blame on this type of lists. Games suffers much from the same diseases that plaques the movie farms; lack of will, license trolls/troubles, lost or destroyed originals/source after years of neglect (thank goodness for "software-archivers" out here), fragmented IPs, and so on.

If we look past most of the problems we're left with greedy publishers and/or platforms with shady drm or with no quality control (like steam). The amount of unfinished and "dead-weight"-games on steam is staggering, and apart from graphical novels, GOG would take on any games they could get their hands on.

I would also love to see the C&C/Dune/Jackrabbit/Wipeout/Descent/Warcraft -series + Heretic/Hexen... ++++

Sadly, we'll never see a libre (as in free speech, no drm or dirty tricks) software platform with every (old) games that's out here. Well, perhaps something working in a grey area.
Mafia 2? You have that as a cult / classic game? GOG existed before Mafia 2. Even without competitors, It's definitely not a classic, just another A to B, repeat, haul.

You're right! I'm just confusing it with the Judas Priest song :p

Myst IV: Revelation. All the other Myst games are here on GoG, except this one.
And it would be nice if Drakensang: The Dark Eye and Drakensang: The River of Time, along with the expansion Phileasson's Secret made by now defunct Radon Labs would be here as well.

There are a fair few good games on this thread, however I wouldn't get your hopes up. Most are in Ip hell, never to be seen again. Add to that GOGs focus has changed, older games are harder to get and get running, and income from them is lower, so it's simpler to release newer games, indie, indev etc. And the return is better.
Late BUT, so far:
Original War USED to be on gog in the past. No idea why it was removed. Also used to be/is? on steam.

Myth (Bungie) IIRC USED to be freely downloadable from their site but a quick(VERY brief check didn't show them... so...) I got them as part of their 'bag of crap' (IIRC) that they used to sell... even came with a tiny bag that IIRC held exactly ONE of the games in a giant shipping box. [EDIT] That's to say that I DID get a bag that held A game, but the box IIRC contained ALL of the rest of their games as well, or a goodly selection of them. That would've been c. 2000 IIRC BEFORE they were snapped up by M$ and right after Jobsian lies about Mac gaming... [/EDIT]

Altar Games (developer of Original War) was acquired by Bohemia Interactive in 2010. Unfortunately for us, Bohemia despise everything that isn't Steam.

xordiw: Drakan: Order of the Flame (1999) really good fantasy action TPP, inventory, weapons, items, you can fly Dragon

darktjm: Oh yeah. That was the game that refused to work on my system, and when I asked for technical support, their response was that I pirated the game (and I didn't feel like faxing them my receipt from Babbage's or whatever the game store was back then). My first truly bad reaction from crappy copy protection schemes. If this game were ever brought to gog, I'd probably boycott it, even if it's cracked. Somehow, I did eventually manage to get the game to work, but it wasn't worth it.
Sorry for a late answer, or rather a question, but what was the problem, and which OS? Did that happen (you contacting the publisher etc.) in the XP era?

I've had the retail version of Drakan for ages in my cupboard, but it is one of the many many games where I never got to actually install and play.
