Imagine if they unearth Discworld Noir eventually

I think these older licensed games are basically in limbo after the deals expired. Most of them from the 90's like Discworld games or the LoTR and Marvel games of the 2000's are basically abandonware now
We believed it to be so when it came to Blade Runner

They are also promoting that old Dreamlist function again to ask for games to go on GOG.
What the hell? The page is completely non-functional for me, can't click on anything, no search, no vote, no nothing. It's a conspiracy, GOG don't want to be forced to return Drakan to the people! :argh:
It's working now. Vote for Drakan, you fucks! :argh:
I'm sorry. GOG originally stood for Good Old Games, not Janky Old Crap. :lol:

Didn't check the list yet but my priorities are Heart of Darkness, Birthright Gorgons Alliance, Warlords 4 and Civil War Generals 2.

I also wouldn't mind Dune 2000 and Emperor Battle for Dune.

I recall reading an article about GOG which likened the job of restoring old games to being a detective. Polishing a game for modern systems is the final step in an arduous process of finding out who owns what and tracking down the source code to make alterations much easier. And if the source code still exists, it's probably sitting in the attic of some guy who once worked as a janitor for a 90s software company.

What's sad is a lot these were myabandonware before said sites were plundered for financial gain. I figured my vid was enough to show I was a big wrong on SOF being NES. I was just too lazy to edit. I guess it gets more press time.

Meh! This is just basically linking the whole wishlist section and putting a special tag of the day on it. How many entries will be duplicates I wonder. I know there were duplicates on those pages of gog.

Name this game:

that said Dark Eye is not a good game
Lies.
Its a mediocre game, not bad but not good either, River of Time is superior in pretty much every aspect. Its a shame River of Time got released at the peak of financial crisis, underperformed and killed the studio. Since devs really showed promise and growth and in a better timeline we might have gotten a more great RPGs.

Women look like women though, which is surprising for dudes from Germany.
