Heilige Scheisse, that came out of the blue.

Phantasie is finally up next then, I hope?

Also, definitely no excuse now to not bring Realms of Antiquity on board, too.

Is Questron II a stand-alone adventure or a direct sequel to first Questron?

Also, no manual for Wizard's Crown? SSI game without manual can be almost unplayable.

Price for such old games are kinda steep.. (compared to recently released Chronomaster)

What an unexpected surprise! in fact three wishlisted surprises. I hope the games have the attention from all oldie lovers. They are pretty old SSI games but pure classic RPG's

Very nice to see GOG giving more love to oldies. These type of classics probably get more recognition and visibility here than on the steam store.
Personally I would like to see a sales chart comparing the sales rating between the same classics sold on GOG and steam. Does the fact that they're sold on steam (with almost 10x the customer base) sells more copies of an old game? Just curious.

MOTHER#$^*(@^$##*( WIZARD'S CROWN! OHHH MY GOG!

Wizard's Crown was the prototype to what later was the combat system in Pool of Radiance. It is extremely detailed and it can be considered as a hardcore grandaddy of games like Battle Brothers.

Yes, the graphics in the three games are pure IBM PC eighties but they were groundbreaking at the time, and to me they are still worth the time because of the gameplay.

Sword of Aragon is probably the more appealing for today standards, pretty playable. Wizard's Crown the most hardcore and questron II a very good and interestng old school RPG

Happy to see them here. I remain concerned about the "handpicked selection" quote from a Piotr Nielubowicz, I hope we don't return to the "curation" of a few years ago. I hope GOG continues to take community wishlist activity into account. (These do have hundreds of wishlist votes, Questron II almost 600, so presumably that helped.) And frankly I wish GOG could automate things more, allow more games as long as they're decent and pass a basic QA test.

There's some other old game that has like 600 votes but the dev and somebody else helping out were unable to reach GOG. I can't find the info because browsing history in Edge is garbage. edit: this one

You sure know your way around classic RPGs.
Something tells me that you were probably an avid reader of old "Maníacos del Calabozo" on Micromania.
Apologies if I'm mistaken.

Well Yes :), I used to read those articles and obviously the Micromania magazine, probably also available in Portugal, but believe me, I never was a proper maniac or really obsessed with the genre at the time, I was just one more.

But, indeed, I liked old wargames, RPG's and interactive fiction. It helps me to appreciate them.

Greetings

I'm glad to see games like this here, GOG should be safe heaven and main destination for all classic games and their enthusiasts. That said, much as I enjoy some old games, there's only so far into the past I can go when it comes to gaming. And these games are way too "classic" for me.

Thanks for the reply. I also read Micromania every month. Great magazine... unfortunately no longer available for sale on my country (although it's still one of the oldest gaming magazines who survived the "internet purge").
Amazing ho, in the early 90s, it already had a monthly article dedicated to RPGs. Quite unusual for its time (I only know of american Scorpia, who covered RPGs in such a way).
Just for curiosity, Ferhergón (Micromania's "Dungeon Master") still keeps a regular Blog focused on classic literature:

1989 is way too late to be the first 4X game. This makes me also doubt that anyone considers Sword of Aragon to be the best fantasy wargame ever made.
