Birthday Bullfrog Bonus Bonanza!

GOG.com 5th birthday celebration continues and we have some more gifts for you! This time, it's a nice pack of add-ons to the classic Bullfrog Productions titles in our EA catalog. There's plenty of previously not included content being added as you read this to five prominent Bullfrog games. If you bought them them previously, the updated versions will become available to you shortly. If you don't yet have those memorable classics in your collection, now you have some extra incentive to get them. Let's see what games get the Level-up treatment today, shall we?

Syndicate receives the American Revolt mission pack taking the future corporate executive work to a whole new level of awesome, thus becoming Syndicate Plus. Similarly, the fantasy underworld management game, Dungeon Keeper, becomes Dungeon Keeper Gold, with extra added evil in the form of the Deeper Dungeons expansion. Hidden Worlds have been discovered in the Arabian desert, making Magic Carpet into Magic Carpet Plus. now invites you to the <i>Promised Lands</i> filled with new challenges, and [url=http://www.gog.com/game/populous_the_beginning]Populous: The Beginning has yet some Undiscovered Worlds in store for you.

That's it! Five excellent, content-filled expansions await you in our classic Bullfrog titles. Again, if you bought any of these titles previously, you should now have access to the newly extended version without any additional fee. Have fun!
What a week for new releases and content, my cup runneth over! Big thanks to everyone on the GOG team!
Indeed, what SCPM said. Thanks a bunch GOG folks!

While as of writing this there hasn't been any actual classic releases this week all these expansions add up to more than one game's equivalent.
Wasn't Populous: The Beginning: Undiscovered Worlds only available in the UK? I own it somewhere but this is great for those who never got a chance to play it. Thank you for all those tasty expansions gog.

Edit: Also does this mean that Dungeon Keeper is no longer the inferior DOS version?

One of the greatest GOG news I've ever read! Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Check out Ghildrean post from other thread. Apparently the other two expansions were only released for Amiga. It means that no Bullfrog expansion is missing now! Good job guys!

As usual though, the website news post doesn't translate well into forum code.

Yessssssssss!
I could +1 official announcements then I would create 99 dummy account just to +1 this 100 times!

The only expansion I can think of that are missing now are the Tomb Raider ones (Unfinished Business etc.) which are missing from the Steam versions too...

Edit
Crap, just realised that I only have the Origin version of Populous from that bundle a while back - anyone know if that versions getting the expansion / has got it? (they'll probably make it DLC and charge £5 knowing Origin)

Thanks EA and GOG!
That's what I call a good Friday ....
I own Syndicate and both Populous games and I got free content? I think I'll just go and buy DK to celebrate this to show GOG how much I appreciate this :-D

Castles is missing its expansion
just woke up, seems like nice news. I expect to see an explosion of GOG love in this thread.

And to be fair, I'll give EA a pat in the back too.

I wonder if any of the usual "GOG is dead" crowd will still find fault on this?
