That page is lying.. there is a reason Escape from Monkey Island still isn't supported in ResidualVM 0.3.1, which just came out. It still is not finished and development on completing it stopped a while ago.

Thank you!! =)

That may be a problem. It looks like the original Battlefront is offered as a free-during-subscription
game with a monthly Electronic Arts Origin Access subscription.

I suppose anyone who just can't wait could try getting one month there to play it,
but obviously that's going to be inferior to being able to buy one from Gog.

Assuming that version actually works. I've never tried Origin Access, so I'm
clueless about what to expect.

But Gog's version of old games is always better than from any other source, so...

ANYWAY I don't know what this may imply about EA's willingness/unwillingness
to offer it up on Gog, but to those in the know it may imply ...something.
For what it's worth, this coming Thursday the 21, day after tomorrow, is the
start of Steam's summer sale (not announced but it's pretty certain), and I'm
sure the industry tries to avoid getting their parade rained on by a conflict
of announcements.

I just searched for this yesterday. Talk about timing. Glad I can finally complete my collection.

Thank you for completing the series GOG and Disney. It almost feels as if Disney is testing the waters to sea if another Monkey Island enterprise would float or sink. ;)

I just scrolled through the screenshots, and I don't remember the game looking that bad. Memory is such a weird thing. I don't even have nostalgia for the game. Both my brother and I found the game unplayable when it was released, due to the very bad controls/camera. I'll end up getting this, because I'm a collector, but not so soon after the summer sale.

No issues here, playing fine and a-okay with my Logitech controller in direct mode.

What are the issues then?

Like what? Could you elaborate?

Mostly graphical glitches. Expecially cutscenes doesn't play well in directx and do not play at all in opengl. The rest of the game mostly work (so far) with minor glitches. Sometimes it does not return to desktop correctly. In some cases I found controls not responding correctly (using a keyboard) but I wasn't able to reprocuce it.

I think you might have misunderstood me. I posted two sets of links and maybe I didn't make myself clear. I wasn't asking you to mark as completed the entries with urls that end in "_original" and with descriptions that are specifically asking for the originals. I think those should stay open to give GOG an accurate gauge of the people that still want them. I was talking about these particular links here:

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/full_throttle
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/maniac_mansion_day_of_the_tentacle_1

The links above don't paint a particularly clear picture of the outstanding demand for standalone versions of the originals. In fact, many of the comments for each entry are people asking for the wishes to be completed.

Most voters for the above entries were satisfied with the Double Fine releases, that include the originals. Leaving the entries open indefinitely in such prominent positions on the wishlist (#10 and #17 highest when you sort "most voted ever") doesn't make sense. They no longer serve a purpose for most of your customers. Having multiple sets of links just leads to clutter and confusion and people feeling unheard.

If the goal is to give people a voice, the newer wishlist entries specifically asking for standalone versions of the originals is the more accurate and appropriate way to address this.

Speaking of Double Fine, I'm hoping they can work out a deal with Disney to allow Ron Gilbert to make his own continuation of the Monkey Island series.

Most likely he understood you...

(emphasis added)

What is your source for "majority" and "most"?
On a site that once upon a time was based on bringing back old classics, it shouldn't be too surprising that most of the customers actually want the original files and games, not recreations.

If you have followed any other discussions on remakes and all that on these forums, you should by now know that GOG users value original versions much more than a random sampling of customers elsewhere. (See the recent discussions about Real Myst etc.)

Personally, I am not satisfied to have any remake, I want the original thing. Be it LucasArts games, or the original, unaltered Star Wars movie. There are plenty of others who feel the same way.

You can also turn the question around. How many of those voters were specifically asking for the remake versions? Since there's no way of knowing, it's a guess in any case. However, since most voters probably have fond memories of the original games, no one really has fond memories of the remakes at this point, it can be safely assumed that the voting is mostly based on the original games, not remakes.

Also, if memory serves, GOG did mark wishes for Monkey Island (or some other old game) completed when the remake came, and it wasn't well received by the forum.

The right thing to do is to keep those wishlist entries open.

It was Grim Fandango. The wish for the HD remake was merged with the 42k "Grim Fandango" wish, and I guess enough people were unhappy for GOG to try to avoid similar actions in the future.

1. The original files are contained within the Double Fine remasters and can be extracted. That may be a hassle for some, fair enough, but it's worth mentioning.
2. The vote totals of the wishlist entries in question are not an accurate reflection of those who are still holding out for standalone versions of the originals. The inflated numbers do not give the powers that be at GOG a real sense of the true demand. Which leads us to...
3. There are wishlist entries specifically for people who want the originals. Wouldn't that be the best place for those that care to make their voices heard?

I'm not so sure, because he said "the wishlist does say originals". The wishlist entries we're discussing decidedly don't say originals, because they wouldn't, because they were created before the remasters were even considered. The last two links in my post were newer entries that did specify the originals in their titles and descriptions, hence the possibility for confusion.
