Why does gog still not have System Shock 1. Also Gog should get the rights to the Resident Evil and Silent Hill PC versions. They're hard to find now, and would definitely sell well.

Why would you need System Shock on GoG since there is good portable version on the net?

As for the RE/SH series - I had a constant crashes with the second part of Resident Evil. I couldn't take some items without a crash. After that I just went with emulation and didn't bother with pc versions.

Maybe if they got the new Resident Evil Windows versions that were released only in Japan, else I guess it'd be a lot of work to make the original ones compatible with modern systems. Emulation works better and is more stable at this point.

I'd rather have GOG get more PC cult classics like Shadow of the Horned Rat.

They have patched games before. That's one benefit of being on gog is there is a chance for some kind of patch.

Capcom released some random fighting game on GOG as a "market test" that I am sure sold like shit. I doubt Capcom is super eager to try again, even if it's their own fault for using a fighting game on PC as a market test.

P.S. What the fuck is Slave Zero and why haven't I heard of it?

Only games about mechs (maybe except MechWarrior & MechCommander) without weaboo contamination influence.
And cool action game.

You're propably didn't hear about this (and other cool) game because you were too busy with popamole crap.
Anyway - how is your Thi4f review going? Any progress?

The one they sell on GOG is Street Fighter Alpha 2. Considering it's been available for MAME for a while, and I'm not sure if the PC version adds much to the arcade version, and you can imagine people aren't too keen on buying it. I've also never seen it offered on sale, one of the ways to put games to the forefront. And then they offer only one game in the serie … It was really a half-assed attempt.

Slave Zero was a game about a giant robot, and it failed in doing that. The player didn't felt so awesome, like in Shogo for example. I remember horrific AI too, Dreamcast version was even worse. I wouldn't waste my money on it.

I picked up the GOG versions in a previous sale (well, Fallout 1 was free on two separate occasions).

All of them went free just before Interplay lost the rights, was Herve's way of getting back at Beth I guess. Grabbed all of them then even though I have the CDs still.

They were $9.99 each. I know this because I bought Fallout 1&2 for $9.99 during the a Christmas 50% sale, before I realized I still had them on CD and exchanged them. But then I got them both (and Tactics) during the giveaway anyway.

I meant when I bought them during a sale. It was before the price hike, I remember that much.

Wut?

They have to be sure that the libraries their program(s) depend on will be on the system and work the way they expect. So you can't just have depend kernel version >= 2.6. That's why they target specific distros, and only promise that they'll run on those.

Don't they statically link everything?
