[url=http://gog.com/page/1801/][/url]Something's happening here on GOG.com, as you can see. Very official. Anyone caught violating the police line will be shot on sight. Unfortunately, we can't comment on what's going on behind that police line, and we certainly can't encourage you to come back here and check the site over the weekend to see if clues have been revealed as to what it is. We most definitely can't suggest that you share any ideas you have about what this might be in the comments below.

Because that would be tempting you to click that link. And we all know what happens if you do that.

For big companies, yes. But how about smaller companies that might need the money to survive?

Protoss: Luckily for digital media much less worries have to apply, as long as the material is not only bound to one or two kinds of digital media (CDs are said to die after 10 to 20 years, although I never had a CD failing for such reasons).
If someone could rent space in one of those archival caves where important stuff and ideas are stored but for original master game copies it'd be a good idea......those kinda of places are temp/humidity/etc controlled so the disc would last much longer. Or even store all a companie's IP stuff on one SSD and put that down in one of those caves. It'd last even longer.

Well, the issue is that if everything is stored at one place only, it is dead. See what happened to the library of Alexandria.

I don't think those cave storages have to worry about being sacked and pillaged/etc as they are guarded well, and as for natural cataclysm....well the areas the caves are in are chosen as ones least likely to suffer earthquake/flood/etc 7 which are stable tectonically speaking.

anjohl: Anyone have any ideas on what this is? My gut tells me Police quest, but all the same, all that computer code makes me think it could be something else. Are there any hacking-style games this could be hinting at?

Darling_Jimmy: Yes, Police Quest is one of them. And yes, there is another release. Find out what the picture in the upper right corner is and you will have the answer.
I grabbed a jewel case edition of "Swat" which is apparently bad, but had a second disc with ALL of the Police Quest games on it for....$1.00 in a pawn shop!

Score!

I find awesome old games(sometimes even unopened and still in shrink wrap, albeit once or twice with dings or wrinkles in the cardboard box itself) in amazing shape in Goodwill/thrift stores all the time. Plus I even have some knockoff stuff obviously from othr countries like this Duke Nukem 3D map pack with indian/foreign writing on the case and no developers marks(3DRealms, etc) anywhere in sight so you KNOW it's bootleg. I love shopping in those places sometimes, it's like a treasure hunt even.
