Epic Games is another publisher who will add its Good Old Games to the ever-growing GOG.com games catalogue.
[url=/en/search/sort/publisher/Epic%20Games][/url]Thanks to the agreement with Epic Games, GOG.com users will get a chance to play DRM-free versions of the renowned Unreal series including [url=/en/gamecard/unreal_gold]Unreal Gold[/url], [url=/en/gamecard/unreal_2_the_awakening_se]Unreal II The Awakening Special Edition[/url], [url=/en/gamecard/unreal_tournament_goty]Unreal Tournament GOTY[/url] and [url=/en/gamecard/unreal_tournament_2004_ece]Unreal Tournament 2004 Editor's Choice Edition[/url]. “Epic Games redefined the first-person shooter with the Unreal series, and we’re very happy to welcome them to the growing list of companies that share our vision of digital distribution,” said Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director of GOG.com.

excellent news! Any chance the soundtracks will be added at some stage?

Hmm, a deal with Epic. Does that mean we're gonna see good old Jazz on good old games?

oh and I second that suggestion from Ciolan :) I would love to see some of the classics from back when they were Epic MEGAGAMES (you can't say that without caps really, can you?).

From memory, the original Unreal engine uses a variation on the S3M format for it's music (*.umx). Or at least, I recall it being recognised as S3M way back when I first got the game.
Just about any compatible tracker (Or a player I guess with the output plugin) can output it to wav/mp3/ogg-vorbis/FLAC.

I keep seeing Jazz mentioned whenever Epic released the unreal games. I third it, great fun ol' platformer.
Sadly, they don't appear too interested... yet. Let's hope our voices add and we will see it in the future.

Bah! I only got the Epic collection not that long before I heard of GOG. Still, it will be great to see some new blood in death-match and CTF.

Have I ever mentioned loving you, GoG?

I should certainly hope so. Additionally, I would love to see Jill of the Jungle, Epic Pinball, One Must Fall, and Tyrian. The Unreal series is a good start, but the even older Epic stuff is exactly what GOG needs.

ONE MUST FALL! I didn't know that was Epic. I've voted for that on the wishlist already. That game was utterly, utterly incredible.

OMF2097 and Tyrian were released as freeware (unsupported non-commercial license).
OMF (publisher site for battlegrounds) - http://www.omf.com/faq/misc.html
Can't find the official Tyrian link, but since the source was also released, here is OpenTyrian.

Not to say that value can't be added via GOG for an additional purchasable download.

Huzzah! I always wanted to play through Unreal & Unreal 2! Thanks Epic and GoG! :D
Posted November 18, 2008
Please delete the existing games from the wishlist.

Excellent work guys. Well done indeed.
