Speaking of Amiga games, I don't know if that's possible but it would be awesome if GOG released Perihelion. (yeah I know I can play it on an emulator, but still...)

This is a special case for Cinemaware as they did the legal and programming legwork to get the Amiga versions running so don't get yer hopes up for other Amiga games showing up, unless someone brings it to them on a platter.
Apparently Cinemaware didn't do the best of jobs either.

Also, Gabriel Knight remake.

Those graphics make the game look like one of the multitude of those those cheap, dime-a-dozen adventure games released in the 2000s. I'm not trying to sound like some hardcore rpgcodexer but I'll say it anyway: I'll stick to the dos original.

Some diging in thread somewhere

Q: I'm guessing you're not going to give any teases about who that might be…

A: I cannot tell you who that's gonna be, but I can tell you something else. We have more or less three major publishers missing when it comes to classic games. There is Microsoft, there is Disney, and finally, there is Take-Two. It's one of these [laughs].

Post source fgt: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gog-celebrates-six-years-of-advancing-the-drm-free/1100-6422150/

Lastly, we've already talked about the first six years of GOG, but where do you think GOG might go in the next six years?

Whoa. That's a vast question. I can tell you about the next 12 months, but I cannot tell you about the next six years because digital is moving forward so fast, so quickly, that it's even hard for us to follow sometimes. But in the near future, so first of all GOG Galaxy; in the near future there's going to be the optional client which we are finalizing right now. There will be a couple modern games coming to GOG such as Wasteland 2, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, which is developed by our Polish friends The Astronauts; there's gonna be Pillars of Eternity, and a few more GOG Galaxy games. There is one last thing coming up hopefully before the end of the year. This is at the top of my to-do list right now. I have a pretty substantial deal in my inbox right now, which I need to finalize. It's going to be a deal for classic games on GOG with a major publisher, and that publisher has many games which are at the very top or in the middle of GOG's wish list. So if we sign that one, we will fulfill many wishes in the coming months.

I'm guessing you're not going to give any teases about who that might be…

"That publisher" looks like Disney (LucasArts).

Another thing that's really been interesting as a trend is virtual reality, things like Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus. Has GOG done any tests for what a VR interface might look like for GOG?

I'm really surprised with your question because actually we have never thought of that.

No?

We have lots of ideas, but that's the idea we never had recently. So perhaps you should join us as the R&D guy [laughs]

BROS, I broke my almost one year long gog-chastity by buying Realms of the Haunting for 2 dorra.
Fuck, if every customer was like me, capitalism and ITZ marketing strategies would go belly-up within months.

Stupid question, but is it still possible to sort reviews by recency? I can't figure out how to do it, but I'm often incompetent with these things.

It looks like the new release is a classic RPG.

http://www.gog.com/game/challenge_of_the_five_realms/?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8

The multi-dimensional world Nhagardia is quickly becoming paralyzed by the evil lord Grimnoth’s terrifying plague of darkness. As Prince of Alonia, you now have 100 days to keep the world from being cast into eternal despair!

But is 100 days enough? After all, in addition to confronting Grimnoth’s evil forces, you’ll have to unlock the many mysteries behind his power. And you’ll need to overcome the myriad obstacles that dot each realm!

Defeat a menacing band of traitors intent on conquering your kingdom; journey beneath the ocean to a vast underwater land; venture into the core of the world to find hidden secrets, fly to the majestic kingdom of the sky and experience the magic and wonder of the enchanted forest.

You’ll experience an array of wondrous and unpredictable scenarios. Each brought to life by compelling animations, streamlined character generation, and a truly unique storyline!

Grimnoth has thrown down the gauntlet. Are you brave enough to pick it up?

Interact with hundreds of strange and magical beings like elves, gnome, fairies, wizards, dragons, and monsters!

Search for hundreds of clues and enchanted objects!

Enhanced PAL role-playing system lets characters truly take on their own personalities!

Ah, I've been expecting this. It's the third of Microprose's three RPGs - the other two being the famous Darklands, and the infamous Bloodnet.

Hmm...the game has an entry on my chronological play list, where it only says "sounds boring" (which means I skipped it since I'm not a moron like CRPG Addict). I don't remember why I wrote it, though. Too simplistic combat perhaps?

Would a character with zero points in walk essentially be a cripple or is it balanced system where some other stat(s) are used instead such as charisma or translating?
