I would really like to have Snoopy VS The Red Baron game that came to PC and PlayStation i believe, be able to be downloaded on here since its hard to get it to work properly or whenever I try, it never continues past the installing part

Sorry in case if this is a topic that always comes up, but always interested to hear too what other games should be added, like a lot of the missing flash games from Tremor games should be added too, but I think you can find a lot of those on other platforms, but let me know and stay awesome all!

I feel like Thief 1,2 are among the best games from the late 90s early 2000s.
It would be great if they were to get added to the GOG Preservation Program.

Dip Zeek the Geek in formaldehyde and strap it to a nice box.

More seriously, there are troves of Windows 3x and 9x games that are missing here.

So many shareware CDs and demo disks I can recall. I'd happily buy the Solealu Software Collection or the Steve Moraff Pack just to name two big names of that era.

Operation Inner Space would be nice to save before it vanishes off the internet, as would Stars! (Star Crossed Software), along with Gravity Well (Cactus Software Productions), GunMetal (Mad Genius), or Voxar's Tumblebugs.

Actually, Entertainment Pack, Rings of the Magi, and several MPV Software published titles come to mind as well.

Oh, and Mordor: The Depths of Dejenol, which I've never been able to get working right.

Considering how classic they are, I'm surprised none of the Lemmings games are available here.

I think people are misreading that all this newest preservation thing does is more an internal QA thing, ie, it just lets GOG do some tweaks without needing the developer's permission each time. It's not some magic wand that will bring hundreds of games here that GOG wasn't already selling, nor even changes the fact they've always been able to tweak games the same way, it just simplifies the approval process. Nothing has really changed in practise vs the "preservableness" of games beyond a process simplification. So the answer is the same as every "What Games should GOG get next thread".

If you can't get it working under Linux directly (or any other 16-bit Windows 3.1 (non-DOS) game), one clunky but workable hack is to install Windows 3.1 under DOSBox. I got it to work fine under both Windows & Linux.

Spot on, not sure why people are thinking otherwise. But nothing wrong with having wishes.

Yo answer OP question.

Space Hack
Ground Control 1,2
Battle Isle: The Andosia War
Beyond Good & Evil™
Black Moon Chronicles
Blood 2

These are few that could use more patching.

Id just be fine with updating the games they already have. Especially when games HAVE updates and they just left it abandoned on gog.

Like:
Diluvion: Resubmerged

It has a v1.3 that supposedly fixed the broken stuff and yet, no updated offline installer. Folks wanna take the money but leave you without the honey! Also, saying to customers, "use galaxy" is an insult.

Like someone broke down on the side of the road; "next time use a bus!".

Unfortunately Sony own the Psygnosis catalog and they seem to enjoy just sitting on it. They have released a few of there newer titles here but now that they are going oll in on PSN account requirements I doubt we will see much else from them.

It is a couple of hoops to jump though. More to the point, I'd trust buying the game from GOG than Deklin's random paypal.

Sid Meier's SimGolf should be added, if they can have the Pirates! game and Railroads! then why not the golf one?

Would probably be nice to have Parasite Eve if that's a possibility. Don't believe i played it myself, only recall vague images of the gameplay. Was probably me watching one of my older brothers play. That moment with the stage and the actors being set on fire as well as that one scene with the red tentacle lady playing the piano has still yet to leave my mind a decade and i presume a half later.

Funny how this new awareness campaign makes folk think GOG is now doing something different.

So I was a little unsure about the meaning of the topic title, but then the opening post cleared that up.

So we are talking about games not yet at GOG.

Well, look no further than the Community Wishlists, which seem to be pretty comprehensive of what folk want here.

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games

But if that isn't to your liking, plenty of threads here list most wanted games etc.

I know this is the intended mechanism GOG wants us to use, but how am I supposed to track the 200+ games I could think of to both list and add?
Posted November 22, 2024
GOTHIC AND GOTHIC 2.
GOTHIC AND GOTHIC 2
GOTHIC AND GOTHIC 2
GOTHIC AND GOTHIC 2
GOTHIC AND GOTHIC 2

There, that's my list. Thanks.

EDIT: Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, The Chronicles of Myrtana too. (yeah, it's a Gothic 2 mod). :)

All three of those are already here at GOG, so already part of the Preservation scheme, aren't they?
