It's for Beneath A Sini Star. I can't seem to clear it.

Grargar: Dammit. Notifications on the avatars too?
Well we should stay updated to GOG's "standards" ......

It's a feature.

Ciris: We've prepared the remaining games for unbundling.

After the process is complete (we're anticipating it'll take a bit less than a week, but that's not a set-in-stone timeframe), the below is the titles you can expect on your shelves (if you have the games, of course):

King's Quest
King's Quest 2 - romancing the throne
King's Quest 3 - To Heir is Human
King's Quest 4 - The Perils of Rosella
King's Quest 5 - Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder
King's Quest 6 - Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow

karnak1: I'd like to inform that the cover for King's Quest 3 has the letters "King's Quest II" on it.

Also I suggest that you find different covers for the different Quest for Glory games (the same way you did for the KQ series). It'd look far better.

EDIT: In fact you should try to do the same for every game where the covers were repeated (ex: Megarace 1+2; MAX 1+2). I know this is merely a cosmetic issue but the end result would look really nice.

Thanks in advance.
Also, King's Quest 2 has a wrong cover. The one that's put into an unbundled package is a more modern cover of King's Quest 3. On the real King's Quest 2 cover Graham walks through multiple coloured doors into a drugged out dreamworld (image taken from 'Giant Bomb' site).

ReynardFox: Why should they care? Pride of service.

mrkgnao: Pride of service?

A website that seriously bungles up the first wave of unbundling, then does much the same on the second wave a month later, despite all that has been posted here?
A website that cannot bother to develop a half-decent forum search in seven years?
A website that blocks access to part of its own catalogue for 12 days?
A website that manipulates its own users' community wishlist?
A website that renounces all its core values, but one?
Quoted for Truth, but I am more mad at the random butchering of their random butchering of their compilation CD sources and leaving out the audio tracks.

Oh, and the cover front the Might and Magic (RPG) series, after the butchering:

Might & Magic 1: Do a literal google image search on "might & magic cover book 1", take the first picture, redo the middle part a bit. The real cover looks like this: http://pcgamingwiki.com/images/thumb/f/f1/Might_and_Magic_Book_One_cover.jpg/282px-Might_and_Magic_Book_One_cover.jpg

Might & Magic 2 cover is some random photoshop job. the real one looks like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dc/Might_and_Magic_II_Coverart.png

Might & Magic 3: not much difference, GOG one has moved the title text to the bottom, real cover art is https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0c/MM3_Box_Art.jpg/240px-MM3_Box_Art.jpg

Might & Magic 4+5: cropped image of the Might & Magic 4 cover, Also, if you insist on unbundling, why didn't you unbundle 4+5? Their are both standalone games and could be linked together to unlock more quests and storyline. Oh, I guess this was not on the compilation CD *smirk*.

Real Might & Magic 4 cover: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Might_and_Magic_IV_cover.jpg
Real Might & Magic 5 cover: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/af/Might_and_Magic_V_cover.jpg
Real Might & Magic 4+5 World of Xeen cover art: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/mightandmagic/images/c/c3/World_of_Xeen_cover.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120819181850&path-prefix=en

Might & Magic 6: halfway decent, but also cropped: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f0/MightAndMagic6Box.jpg

Might & Magic 7: surprisingly decent original cover art.

Might & Magic 8: original cover art, but also cropped like 6 to remove the bottom text part (the T rating etc)

Might & Magic 9: original cover art, but also cropped like 6 to remove the bottom text part (the T rating etc)

Would be neat though if you could import the covers from Wikipedia or similar.

DoctorGOGgles: *erratic list*

Now that's what GOG considers logic when it comes to ordering games!
Words fail me...
Posted April 24, 2015

DoctorGOGgles: Ultima I
Ultima II
Ultima III
Ultima IV
Ultima Underworld I (because U is between I and V)
Ultima Underworld II
Ultima V
Ultima VI
Ultima VII - Serpent Isle (This is the second part of Ultima 7)
Ultima VII - The Black Gate + The Forge of Virtue (followed by the first part...)
Ultima Worlds of Adventure 2: Martian Dreams (now they start to use : instead of - to delimit title and subtitle)

Then GOG suddenly switches from Roman numerals to Arabian numerals for the remaining Ultimas

Ultima™ 4: Quest of the Avatar (again Ultima 4, this time the free one, but with added ™ and subtitle)
Ultima™ 8 Gold Edition
Ultima™ 9: Ascension

and a long way down the list, with a lot of Wing Commanders, Wallace and Gromits and Witchers between them...

Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire

Now that's what GOG considers logic when it comes to ordering games!
You "forgot" something in the middle (I assume you do not have that game)...

I have noticed that shelf box art for KQ3 is not right. It shows that box art for KQ2. Can this be fixed?

Actually, it's the opposite. Both KQ2 and KQ3 boxarts are KQ3 covers (Updated and Original respectively)
yet both say KQ2. So to say GOG screwed up is an understatement.

"This" is what they should use for Quest for Glory 1. The fact they just reuse the same image for all the games really ticks me off.

THe more I think about it, the more I think being able to have our own custom box art would be awesome.

Of course it would be mostly pointless for me, personally, as I have over the magic number (626) so I can't use the shelf anyway. Doesn't mean it would not be a way neat cool rad option.

It wouldn't have that problem if it were part of Barefoot Essentials and worked by applying localForage-stored covers based on either the data-gameindex or data-gameid fields present in this bit of markup around each cover image.

<div class="shelf_game ui-draggable" data-gameindex="the_11th_hour" data-gameid="1207659000" ...>

(data-gameindex is how I import from shelf view with my IsThereAnyDeal.com importer. That's why I'm still working on a fix for some of the breakages caused by the unbundling where the "generate the game's title from the gameindex" fallback fails.)
