Isn't there a Simon 4 & 5 that are supposed to be okayish though ?

Yes but they are not ok-ish. They are some of the worst adventure games ever made.

Really? I thought they were made by fans of the series and was planning on buying them (in the distant future). Are they bad due to puzzle design, game engine and UI, or story and voiceacting (or any combination thereof)?

Yes.

Does GOG.com have any games from Blue Byte? If not, do they plan to add them in the future?

I tried to look on their site by developer, but couldn't find it. Weird. (Could also be due to the hangover.)

What is missing are the older Blue Byte titles, like the original Settlers, Albion and Dr. Drago. I would actually sign up on GOG if they added Dr. Drago.

You can probably get those on abandonware sites. Well at least original Settlers and Albion. Not so sure about Dr. Drago.

I own copies of both Albion and Dr. Drago. The trouble is getting Dr. Drago to work. It will only run in 256 colour mode, which means tinkering is needed on WinXP machines. I don't think it even works on Vista/7/8. It also seems to hate the mouse, moving it will eventually cause the game to crash.

Battle Isle series?
Incubation with addon Wilderness mission but thing is - it's part of the strategies pack BI. More stuff to download and higher price.

Install Win 3.1 in Dosbox, then Install the Win 3.1 version of Dr. Drago.

...that's almost crazy enough to work.

Yes.

Sounds like an entertaining trainwreck maybe?

No, they're just bad, not even 'fun bad'. Bland, lifeless, poorly conceived and implemented in every way. Don't waste your time.

Release AND discount, -85%. Wat.

What's the point of even releasing bundle fodder like this?

I remember the days when GOG would have no releases for long stretches and people complained constantly as well. Pick your poison.

 

[Zewp]

It's not a complaint, seeing as the game being released on GOG doesn't affect me in the slightest. It's a rhetorical question. Alien Shooter and its spin-offs have been in bundles so many times that it's laughable to try and sell any of them for any amount of money, much less $6.

Well my point is I don't think they expect to make much of anything, they're just filling gaps.

I don't have any of those games.
Any of them "must buys"?

If you are into adventure games I recommend Syberia 1 and 2, Post Mortem and its sequel Still Life

 

[Baron Dupek]

Such a pity list, only last position with magnificent Iron Storm save this sad deal.

 

[Abelian]

Is Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood worth playing? I heard it's similar to Commandos, which I enjoyed.

Its much easier than Commandos and fighting is drawing moves like left and right on the screen with the mouse. I thought it was fun when it was released, and that was a while ago.
For 3 bucks its a nobrainer if you're fan of the genre.

 

[DalekFlay]

I guess I should finally get Syberia 2. Not a ton to get excited about there, though.

 

[Crane]

Sell me on the Syberia games. I like adventure games enough, but what makes them stand out from all the others? Is it the story?
