They only bundle together games from the same series. So Populous and Wasteland would not be sold together - I'm hoping they will bundle together Populous 1+2, though, as $6 for each of them would be too much. Anyway, they've also said that System Shock and Syndicate are not part of the EA deal, so they will not be released.

I wish we get Theme Hospital this time... Maybe Theme Park too (although I personally enjoyed Theme Hopital a lot more).

Ultima is here. Yes, Avatar. That is the proper way to travel.

It would be great if <i>Centurion: Defender of Rome</i> were to be one of the upcoming EA games. I spent many hours playing that game back in the day.

I'm having trouble running wing commader 1 and 2. Is the game suppose to lauch automatically? Also it won't let me type command prompts in dos box. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Run it directly from desktop or start menu shortcut for dosbox.exe

And if you don't have them, reinstall the game, or crate a shortcut with following lines:

dosbox[yourwingcommanderconffilename].conf -noconsole -c "exit"

Thanks for the reply. I ran it as administrator and works great.

Oh, I see I didn't help much :D I haven't though about the obvious one, i thought you game shortcut was broken.

Enjoy the game!

Hopefully we'll get the entirety of the Bullfrog back Catalog. I would love to see some Syndicate, and Syndicate Wars. Wing Commander 3, Privateer and even Wing Commander Armada would be sooo very appreciated!

Well, I'm not sure if you'r aware, but Wing Comander: Privateer is already on Gog ;)

Who owns the rights to System Shock 1? Answer: Who knows? Origin published and comissioned the game from Looking Glass Studios, Warren (Deus Ex) Spector was heavily involved in production and this could be said to be his first Deus Ex prototype (and a far superior storyline in my humble opinion). Then Origin get bought by EA, but EA don't get all the rights to all of the Origin IP thanks to a clever Richard (Lord British / Ultima) Garriot... Looking Glass then later goes bust but then gets resurrected by the guys that made Bioshock (Irrational Games). They somehow piece together the rights from what they've got and what EA's got to make System Shock 2 (without Warren Spector who I guess is setting up Ion Storm)... but it doesn't sell well and probably goes into a semi-bankrupt state. Legal status of company is questionable until Bioshock rears it's beautifully ugly head and they start making (I hope) decent money. God knows they deserve it.

So it really all depends on your perspective. Looking Glass (Version 1) did the coding. Origin (now EA) published it. Warren Spector probably came up with the creative content. Irrational have been carrying the "Shock" torch for longer than anyone else. Let's put it this way - I'd hate to be the judge on the Intellectual Property lawsuit...

P.S. most of the Star Trek things you describe were of course in turn stolen off 50's and 60's pulp sci-fi. That's probably why they could get away with it, plus computer games were still a bit of a niche market so no-one took them that seriously.

Ultima is probably one of the classic of classic series. I-VI are here now. Yes, that is the proper way to travel, Avatar. And it seems VII is on its way soon...
As Buddy Holly once said, "Well, alright!"

I'm really hanging out for Wing Commander Privateer 2: The Darkening

I know it had bugs galore and some weird direction, but I'd really love to be able to play it again.

That was a weird game. Borrowed it from a friend so it would be great to buy and play again. The lead character was very well acted I thought, but generally I thought the filmed sequences didn't really mesh with the combat/game itself. I seem to recall it was very hard too, not that I'm complaining about that. It's good to have a challenge. Never quite understood the ending either - it was open-ended I think.

And with that, we have it. Wing Commander III as the curtain goes down on a set of true EA Classics. Well played and full of really nice surprises. Ultima and Wing Commander; who could ask for more.
From me, GOG, you get a standing ovation. Keep up the excellent work. I know the EA set is done for now, but that makes it even more interesting to see what you are going to bring out next, and from which company it will come.
