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.
