Hi. I've always been a huge fan of The Adventure Company. They've had a pretty rocky history. They were bought out by JoWood Entertainment, then JoWood filed for bankruptcy, and just recently The Adventure Company was picked up by Nordic Games.

Anyway, TAC is one of the last publishers of adventure games still standing, which is unfortunately a rapidly dying genre. I thought it might be nice if GOG were to pick up some titles from TAC, not only to help breathe some life into the dying genre, but to help preserve what's still out there. It may even help out Nordic, and encourage them to publish more titles. GOG is one of my few go-to places to pick up adventure games, and your support for TAC would be great.

TAC has published such games available on GOG as Syberia and Broken Sword:The Sleeping Dragon, though GOG appears to have partnered with their European publishers, not TAC.

A full list of their titles can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventure_Company

Thanks

I don't think that Australia has anything to do with anything here...?

And I can't really see how adventure is a "rapidly dying genre", as there has been more adventure game releases recently than for years before. Almost all of the classic series have been re-released/remade or continued (Monkey Island, Broken Sword, King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc.) and companies like TellTale Games are producing more and more games. Also many legendary designers (Jane Jensen, Al Lowe, etc.) have returned to design games.

Not to mention indie publishers, who are releasing less-known, but otherwise great games.

IMHO, the state (and predicted future) of the genre hasn't been this good for years.


Anyway, I totally support all adventure games coming to GOG.
I thought Nordic Games was actually Nordic. Australia is pretty much as unNordic as possible.
