Bigs: COG?
Yeah, those games were only sold on GOCK.com.

You mean COCK.com?!


edit: Dammit... Now I can't read "Old Cog games" anymore without seeing that other word there xP How about a "Threads that would make good porn titles" thread?

Sjuan: GOG Galaxy has an option to find the GOG games that one already has installed on your computer, and add them to Galaxy. It's on the GOG icon in the left corner of Galaxy. Click there and choose the option to search the games.
Thanks for the advice. I meant GOG but at least it provided entertainment for a few. I found and used the select folder search option but it did not detect the older GOG games I have installed. The manuel instructions to do this operation are not very clear. It says go to the library and click on the game and select more. The GOG games are in individual filders on my machine and not in a host program like Galaxy. When you click on thier folders there is no such option. Is it possible to move those folders to the Galaxy game folder and then try to get them detected?

Ok.

1. Go to Galaxy and click library at the top.

2. In the Galaxy library, click on the game you want to import.

3. Click More -> Manage installation -> Import folder

4. Point it to the individual folder you installed that game in.

The problem is the games are not in the Galaxy library but in individual folders on my c drive.

I think you're misunderstanding something. The Galaxy library is a list of all the games on your account regardless of whether they're installed through Galaxy. The games should be in your library regardless of whether they're on your computer or not.

Important question: Roughly how long ago did you buy these games?

All of them were purchased and installed in 2014. Back then GOG games had no interface like Galaxy. They still play fine I just wanted to move them to my new Galaxy library.

Ah, well then we know what the problem is.

Have a look below your username on one of your posts. Notice where it says "Registered: Nov 2018".

Yes, you're logged into the wrong account. For some reason that maybe even you don't know, you made a new one last month. :P

That's excately what I've done! I'll have to look around for the old log in. Thanks.
Since you have another account, and seeing that in this you have some games, it would be a shame that you can not have them all together in the same account. It would be nice if someone from the GOG team could put all your games together in one account :)

As Sjuan just pointed out you have some games on this account too, I suggest you write to GOG. I believe they'll let you merge the accounts if you can prove you own both (which shouldn't be tricky if you kept order confirmation emails).
