I noticed Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection doesn't have a forum here.

Are there other games without their own forum, or a series forum?

An GOG staff said they will "take a look at it ASAP" 230 days ago.
Nothing changes then.

While it's sad that GOG isn't doing anything about this, that's not what the OP is asking. Most of the games in your list do have a forum.

I'm not sure, but I wish there was some logic in which games get a series forum and which get their own.

Now I like Star Wars (almost) as much as the next guy, but do we really need a stunning 15 Star Wars game forums? Can't we have like one, or at least some bigger subcategories like "Star Wars flightsims", "Star Wars shooters", etc.

And why are some games which have very little to do with each other put as a series, like Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude in the Larry series forum, but then again Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites have each their own forums?

I'm a huge fan of Interplay's Star Trek games, and wouldn't mind seeing entire websites dedicated to those games, but this current thing that GOG has doesn't really seem systematic at all.

have to agree, I tend to avoid bundled forums as I dont want to have to wade thru pages and pages of threads regarding other games than the specific one im playing and have qstns about

One game per forum.
A clear link to this forum on every game's store page.
A clear link to this forum directly in front on GOG Galaxy without being hid in a drop-down menu.

Frankly something Steam does better than here, and it would help reduce a bunch of game-specific crap in the general forum. IIR the other digital distribution services have similar issues as GOG regarding game forums.

GOG still handles this better than sites like NeoGAF and RPGCodex, which put all games (or all games of a certain genre) into one forum.
