Note: I think it's best that this thread's focus shift to problems with "old" games on GOG (pre-2004 roughly), like compressed audio and alt versions of DOS games; gamebin has a more comprehensive and accurate list encompassing all games here.

Missing manuals: check out and post in ZFR's great thread.

New games that are missing content: check out and post in fronzelneekburm's excellent thread.

This thread should focus on game issues that we're quite sure GOG can fix, ie doesn't require source code and such.

Issues are sorted by publisher here below. Ideally GOG's tech people can solve some of the issues themselves without needing publisher involvement

OK. On the top of my head, we are missing:

1) The expansion of Rainbow Six, Eagle Watch.
2) The two expansions to Ghost Recon, Desert Siege and Island Thunder.
3) The DOS version of Raptor: Call of the Shadows.
4) The Divided Nation expansion for American Conquest.

Cheers, mate, edited those in. :)
Not to bring bad news, but don't we have this already? You're better off helping update that list.

While it's true that, currently, it doesn't look much different, the idea is not to mention missing games like damien's list does, but missing content from existing games like manuals, expansions and maybe some other bonuses.

And speaking of manuals, SpiderFighter's dated GOGmix lists a number games that are on GOG without manual. Theme Park is a noticeable example of a game without it that isn't included in the list.

But damien's list features expansions and missing content as well. His list does not feature missing bonuses like manuals though, but neither does this list so far. Eh, I guess it can work like this as well.

Quick question: Has GOG ever added content or versions to a game that they have already released?
NWN Diamond could get the remaining Premium Modules (Pirates of the Sword Coast, Infinite Dungeons and Wyvern Crown of Cormyr) added to the GOG download. Right now you can get them from Bioware for free but still, having them available here to be sure would be nice...

The expansion of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri was added for free way after the initial release, IIRC.

rodrolliv: The expansion of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri was added for free way after the initial release, IIRC.
So there is a possibility for GOG to add extra stuff like expansions. I see. But I guess it requires persuasion or for something to be a good business decision in order for them to bother.
Just a heads up, it is ILLEGAL for the devs to sell the King's Quest 1 VGA remake, so it showing up on GOG is a virtual impossibility. There are also some nasty trademark issues preventing a release of the floppy version of Space Quest 4, but there's a patch you can download that turns the CD-rom version into the floppy version. Plus, King's Quest 4 EGA is extremely rare and not really worth it.

Would DLC count? If so then there is, Democracy 3 - Clones and Drones

It would be nice to see Perimeter's expansion, Emperor's Testament here. It's on steam, so I'm not sure what's up with that.

What I wanted to say is that damien's list doesn't exclusively list expansions and/or different versions, but missing games in a series in general.

HijacK: Quick question: Has GOG ever added content or versions to a game that they have already released?
Yes, they did. As an example, they added the DOS version of Earth 2140, in response to complaints from the Windows version's bugged AI. They have also added a variety of extras for other Topware games, the expansions for Dungeon Keeper, Magic Carpet and Syndicate, as well as a manual for Battle Realms and other games.
