GoJays2025's awesome spreadsheet. LordKuruku has also created a handy guide for those who'd like to add their wish lists to the spreadsheet.

As there has been some confusion about the purpose of the existing thread, here's one with a title that is hopefully easier to understand. A big thank you to RowdyRodimus (wherever you are) for setting this up in the first place.

The purpose of this thread is to list games in the GOG catalogue that you would be interested in receiving from fellow GOG community members. Simply list the games you're interested in, along with a way of contacting you (an email address or GOG PM).

For example, here's my current wishlist:

Alien Breed + Tower Assault
Superfrog
Syndicate™
Ultima™ 7 The Complete Edition

Email: nicholasmillar(at)hotmail(dot)com

And, thanks to the hard work of GoJays2025, there is also a spreadsheet to keep track of current wish lists which you can find here.

If you'd like to request games not already in the GOG catalogue, please visit the official wishlist here.

Failure to comply will result in a visit from Gammix to your place of residence to carry out beatings with the idiot stick.

My only urgent interest is Realms of the Haunting. Gotta get to know this awesome classic better!

If you're feeling gifty, just ask me my email by replying this post. :D

In the spirit of giving if anyone is kind enough to gift me a game I'll daisy chain it on and gift someone one of their wanted games. It tricks me into thinking I'm not really spending money!

Current wishlist:
Realms of the Haunting
Fallout 2
Waxworks

You should underline the "here" that links to the spreadsheet, or something to make it stand out a bit.

It's rather big the wishlist, unfortunately I don't think there is any way to sort it by "need".

Wow! That's quite the lists you have there LordKuruku! Guess I'll edit my post/list a bit then.

It does beg me to ask, have you finished any of those games? I myself just do too much tomfoolery that unless it's quite linear I hardly ever beat a game ;) (Some are just so much fun that I just don't have the heart to finish them >.<)

I've finished quite a few. Especially those I owned before getting them on GOG. Many of them I've enjoyed playing casually but haven't finished or fully appreciated them. In reality, I wouldn't recommend so many games to most people, as most of them have months or more of depth.

However, during the holiday sale, I decided I would take care of nearly all of my entertainment purchases for the year or so in one fell swoop, and to get rid of having to wait for most anything else I want in the coming months to go on sale. I stupidly spent what was already a miniscule food budget on this. In the end, I still paid less than the price of eight new $60 games on a console.

I also bought all these games since I'd had an interest in many of them years ago, but was never able to buy any computer games back then. Many of them are games I pirated or got from thrift stores, neither of which publishers or developers ever got any money for. I never got anything new until only a few years ago, so through all my years of gaming those guys never saw a dime from me. I also get a lot of cool extras like soundtracks (I have several gigs of MP3s now!), and I'd rather support GOG than pretty much anybody else these days.

Most of all, my friends (my local friends, that is) are cheapskates and enjoy my game library. I've told them about GOG, they couldn't give a damn, but I share my game library with them, including my GOG content which I host on my server and often recommend.

Perhaps they'll buy something some day, perhaps not. It's nothing they couldn't just torrent anyway, and at least this way, any of the games that they like that I don't, I've picked up the slack for them. As GOG has been trying to say with it's stance on DRM, it's existence is irrelevant to pirates, people have been downloading this content for years from "abandonware" sites, there are already torrents out there for GOG installers anyway, and people who won't pay money for games simply won't pay money for games.

So I have several reasons for owning so many damn games. I've few regrets, and it's pretty cool. I'm playing a whole ton of games I missed out on, but I have a much bigger library of games than just this, so I've learned to stay focused on single games.

I've particularly enjoyed Alone in the Dark 1, Another World, all the Infinity Engine\Fallout\Black Isle\Bioware stuff, Blake Stone AoG, Beneath a Steel Sky, Blood, Chessmaster 9000, EECH, Descent 1, Duke Nukem 3D, Guilty Gear X2 #Reload, Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3, IL-2 Sturmovik, Incredible Machine, Master of Magic, Master of Orion 2, Painkiller, Pinball Gold Pack, the Pro Pinball series, Psychonauts, Raptor, Rayman, Rise of the Triad, Serious Sam FE, Total Annihilation, Tyrian 2000, and the original Zork trilogy. I've played through many of them again recently, since almost all of those games I'd previously played.

I found Manhattan Project to be rather dull, I understand Realms of Arkania is supposed to be rather daunting but the soundtrack for the first game is beautiful. Dream Pinball 3D I do not like, but the Pro Pinball games are just incredibly masterful, especially BRUSA and Timeshock. Pinball Gold Pack is also great. Sometimes my friends can show me one of my games I haven't played, especially if it's something complicated that they've taken the time to learn, and it's really helpful to tempt me to get into one of them a lot easier.


I honestly won't be surprised if I never play all of them. It actually fills you with a sense of guilt, paying over $400 for so many games like that. At least I got most of them on sale. I imagine that feeling of guilt is akin to something Kurina must feel, seeing as she acquired every game to date and didn't have to pay a dime for all the ones she didn't have, and is even less likely to play all of them!

LordKuruku: It'd be a bit of a shame to let the original topic simply wither and die, but I suppose there's not much helping that. Human stupidity and short attention spans have proven that the most (and apparently only) important part of any topic is the title, since it's all that far, far too many people could be bothered to read. >_>

I was there when that topic started, and I'm happy to be here for the start of this one as well.
Yes, I was there at the start of the original topic too, but unfortunately people misunderstood the purpose of the topic and it became saturated with people's requests for games not in the GOG catalogue.

Oh, the guessing game? Completely forgot about that!
