There used to be a place on GOG.com where you could request or suggest games that you would like to see remade and sold again on this site. I may be a little dumb or noob, but I cannot seem to find it.

I would sincerely like to see DIscworld made available on modern systems.

Edit:
But GOG doesn't "remake" any games. Don't expect any "Remastered HD Editions". That's not how it works. And at any rate, they can only sell the games that the rights holders allow them to.

GOG doesn't remaster or remake games. GOG only removes DRM and makes games work on more modern operating systems. GOG also tries to fix any game breaking bugs. GOG does not have access to source codes so there's limit what it can do.

I think you would be better contacting the company that holds the rights for the original Discworld game.

Maybe Rhianna Pratchett as well, seeing how she inherited the rights to the Discworld IP.

Not the developers or the company that owns the publisher? Because that would be my first guesses.
Buy you may be right, in that the concession window might have already elapsed.
I seriously need to read those.

Someone better call Barry, he's good at twitter stuff, for contacting rights holders.

The developers likely won't have much to say by now unless they do, in fact, own the game, I would guess it's all in the owners hands, and while Rhianna likely doesn't own the game, she does own the IP it uses. There's also a chance they might listen to her if she determines people want to play the existing games, seeing how she not only owns the IP, but also works in the video game industry.

Yeah, that was just a poor choice of words from me. I don't expect a "remake" of any sort, just a version that I don't have to load through an MD DOS emulator would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, I didn't expect this post to generate so much rumble in the community. I appreciate everyone who pointed me in the right direction of the suggestions board. I have voted for the discworld trilogy to be added, and I am so glad to see so many other fans of the series, and Terry Pratchett's work, trying to bring light to the topic and maybe getting it off in a well pointed direction.

Discworld is one of the most-requested titles that isn't yet here. You're not alone...

Actually, that might be another unfortunate choice of words, depending on exactly what you mean by that. All DOS games sold by GOG are in fact played through an MS DOS emulator (DOSBox). However, if all you mean is that you don't want to have to setup and configure the emulation yourself, then you'll be fine, as that is all handled by GOG.

She has a Twitter and responded to me once in the past, but I haven't tried recently because Terry's death wasn't that long ago and I wasn't sure if it would be a bad idea to mention the games again at this point in time.
