Sharing news like this always brings us such a huge joy. And we hope playing them will bring you even more of that joy!

Today, 9 titles from 4 different series are joining our catalog – all developed by Omnitrend Software and published by Throwback Entertainment. Let’s rejoice in the ability to play: Breach and Breach 2, Paladin and Paladin 2, Rules of Engagement and Rules of Engagement 2, as well as Universe, Universe 2, and Universe 3.

All of them with a -20% discount that lasts until November 2nd, 1 PM UTC!

But let’s take a closer look at all that classic gaming goodness!

Breach and Breach 2
Originally released in 1987 and 1990, Breach games provide a single-player turn-based strategy experience in which you control your squad of marines and combat a variety of enemies in different settings.




Rules of Engagement and Rules of Engagement 2
1991’s and 1993’s sci-fi strategy games. In these titles, you are the Fleet Commander of the Federated Worlds Armed Forces – their main task force. Prepare to become the galaxy’s greatest strategist and leader!

Rules of Engagement 2 but no Breach 3? Those 2 games are supposed to connect together. I could never get it to work though. It would be awesome if Gog could get those games to interlock.

Atleast they are classics being released.

Always check such releases to see whether they jog any memory about a game played way back and forgotten. These don't, but yep, always nice to see such releases, even if just thinking of preserving game availability for a... historical perspective, for those interested.

Atlas Fallen released on steam. Still not here after 2 months.
Endless Dungeon released on steam today. Still not here.
HumanitZ released on Steam. Still not here after about a month.

Yet, these three games are still marked "Coming Soon".

Wtf are you doing GoG?

Well, I understand that the guys have the rights for the Omnitrend's games. And Breach 3 was adquired and or developed by Impressions Games. So It should be a matter of rights holding.

-----------------

About the games themselves all of them were ahead of its time in detail. Unique even for today's standsrd's, being Breach and Paladin series maybe the more traditional ones because of our knowledge, time later, of games like XCOM or Laser Squad etc...
And Rules of Engagement are some of the most detailed sim/tactical space kind of games. Very deep and detailed. I can only think in a couple more of similar Games. One very close to be relesed in GOG and the other a very good Star Trek: Bridge Commander

My only gripe is that I am interested in every title but the whole package is too expensive for me

Hmm neither game rings any bells, but I'll need some time to check them properly that I don't have right now.

It's not unusual for publishers to release here only after a game has been a while on Steam. They probably think that a DRM-free version available on day 1 would be pirated to hell and back. (Big surprise to no one: The DRM'd version is usually cracked and pirated to hell and back close to day 1. But facts were never able to convince the beancounters).

So, whenever you see that a game you want hasn't released here at the same time as elsewhere I can bet you it was the publisher's decision. Why wouldn't Gog want to get a bite out of the early adopter's pie?

Ui that is retro <3

Always great to see more classic games arrive.

These all look like DOS games, but no "powered by DOSBOX" and all Windows-only. Are these DOS games packaged with DOSBOX or are they like the Wasteland that had a "modern" wrapper around the old DOS assets?

I am definitely not interested in these if they are truly Windows-only (even if they work on wine).

edit: I guess nobody knows. Just as well. Way too expensive for a collection of old games like these, anyway. I long for the days of walking into game stores and finding multi-game, multi-CD collections for less than $10.

This is WONDERFUL, especially the Rules of Engagement games, but I gotta wonder where's Breach 3?
Posted October 19, 2023
Just one thing about the interlocking feature. If I am not wrong both Rules of Engagement games can interlock with Breach 2, according with the game page and other info I found in different places. Can anybody give more light about it to be really sure?
So, RoE 2 would be "interlockable" with Breach 2 and 3?

EDIT: Indeed According with the back cover of the original game It interlocks with both Breach 2 and Breach 3
