There is a DOS version on the CD of Carma 1 and it works fine with DOSBox.

In the event that GOG ever published the first Carmageddon, they would release the DOS version anyway.

I tried in the past the dosbox way and i had to keep reinstalling the game everytime i wanted to play it.

I saw this thing for so many times that...
Wishlist link is the only possibility to "communicate with the gods of GOG" in terms of our wants.
Community has no powers to add games to GOG's collection. In most cases even GOG's Team has no clue if the game will or will not be released on GOG. And if they accually have some clue I do not know any single example where they share this knowledge with us, community. It is always the case: the game will be released when it's released. Such questions / requests as yours make no sense.

AFAIK, it's potentially abandonware, but it hasn't been formally freed. So, in other words, you're either looking on eBay hoping to find a copy that hasn't been corrupted or you're going to have to pirate it if you want a copy.

Being floppy based, it's essentially abandonware as I don't think there's been a CDROM rerelease that one could buy.

Please repeat after me "There is no such thing as abandonware just admit it's piracy already"

Sure there is, arguing that there aren't games for which the developers have lost interest in protecting is asinine. Furthermore, IP laws are not uniform across the globe.

Nowhere in the world is there a definition that include "Abandonware" very few countries don't have a 70+ year copyright term and those that do have at least a 30 year term so while some games may in some countries be outta CR in the west they aren't it doesn't matter if the owners are interested in protecting it or not unless they release it into the public domain IT'S STILL PIRACY
