While I do own Neverwinter Nights and all it's expansions, I did never finish it due to lack of time. I did get through the first few parts though, and it was fun to play. Nothing much to say: it sounds and looks great, but seeing that I still play Baldur's Gate 1 (often even unmodded, in 640x480), you can imagine that I'm pleased very fast in that regard. Neverwinter Nights 2 and it's expansions were hard to get in 2009 (in The Netherlands), and the patches were even harder to find. There is no "full patch", like Neverwinter Nights 1. You need to download all the seperate third party patches from the IGN Vault, and use a third party program to actually install them, if you don't want to depend on the update servers forever. Therefore I've saved these patches, as I can see me playing this game in 2016, 10 years after release. (That is no strange thing to do for me.) And now, as I've done with every game that I've own(ed) on CD, I wil rebuy it on GOG, so I can give away my CD's and don't need to worry about patches, DRM, or No-CD Cracks. Just download, install, and play. Forever, as long as you have a computer that can run the game. As it should be. Thanks GOG. I'll download and archive this game for the time that I can actually get around to it, (re)play it, and finish it.
From around 1995 to 2000, before I switched to RPG's, I heavily played most of the popular building games, with Caesar III being my top favorite. At the moment I don't have the time to play involved, long games and sometimes I just want to play a casual game. Caesar III popped into my head, and I also remembered that a friend of mine was very positive about GOG.com some time ago. So, I went here, bought and downloaded the game, and installed it. It worked without a hitch, and 10 minutes after registering here I was running the game. I breezed through the tutorial as if I never stopped playing this game. Honestly I don't know if GOG.com can modify and/or patch older games (do they get the source code?) but it runs 100% perfect on Win7 x64. And all this, for the neglectable price of €4,-. Maybe I'll just rebuy and redownload all my Baldur's Gate 1, 2, Icewind Dale 1, 2 and Planescape games also, if GOG had the ability to fix problems they have on newer systems.
