I was thrilled to see Judgement Rites and 25th Anniversary made available by GOG, and in a multi-platform release, as well. There is a small disappointment, though. Back when it was new, I played the Mac ports of JR and 25th, which I've now found out had several small improvements and bug fixes over the DOS versions. These are most noticeable in Judgement Rites. The music is lower-quality (probably due to different MIDI libraries between Mac and DOS), some sound effects in JR are off which were corrected in the Mac port (the transporter and bridge sound effects are wrong (odd, since there were correct in 25th), and Scotty's "emergency power" space-battle dialogue is flipped so the "activated" dialogue plays on the "failed" event and vice-versa), and the pre-rendered cutscenes *may* be lower-quality (I don't have my old copy handy to confirm), and at least one is definitely missing (a "prologue" showing an exploding Elasi ship as a voice talks about how they failed the test and they hope to have better luck with the Enterprise). The space combat also "feels" a little different, but that's almost certainly my imagination. I know that the way this whole thing works is based on how relatively simple it is to wrap up DOS games for use on modern computers, and that bringing a classic Mac game to a modern system is far more difficult, but it was still a bit disappointing to see overt, new-to-me bugs in a classic game. On the plus side, I remember hearing back then that developers would sometimes use the Mac port as an opportunity to polish the game above and beyond what was in the original PC version, so now I have an example of what that looked like.
