    Hey Jude, I have 100 games on GOG, and I don't see anything else I'd want. GIVE ME MYTH AND GIVE ME HOMEWORLD, I COMMAND YOU!

    Whatever.
    In your dreams, huehuehue

    Also - have you talked with D.W.Bradley? What's his state about digital re-release like your pawnshop and eventualy release his games on GOG? I'm sure the man who release one game 3 times (beta/alpha, Collector Edition, MMXIII) should be interested.
    Or you hide behind some NDA or other stuff that mark this topic in "see y'all in some future" and prevent you from talk?

    Srsly, put Wizards&Warriors on GOG and give this man incentive to make sequel.

    Yes, having W&W on GOG would be sweeeet. Especially if they can tweak it to run on newer machines, heh.

    W&W is one of the two worth playing games that I cannot get running properly on my win xp pc so yes - I second that.

    Tripled, please. Doctor D.W. Bradly is my hero and I'd day one purchase the hell out of W&W (for the second time). PS Gimme my damn 10 bucks, you hateful poles.

    Don't work on XP? Strange, I've got Vista and was suprised - W&W work well (got game from CDA and installed one patch). This game is some kind of technical abomination (city background in AVI files? Seriously?), wouldn't be suprised if GOG releas is delayed by technical and compatibility issues.
    Game works best on notebooks (batteries), there is some game stages that require shifting between Economical Mode and Full Speed like underwater Atlantis-like area with rotating obstacle that's just froze on better GPU than average graphic card from 2000-2001.

    Yep, I remember that when I tried running it normally the town screens were messed up, scrolling instantly and making some of the locations impossible to access. There was a way to fix this, but it resulted in graphics turning into a mess. It was either one or the other, I never found a way to beat that.

    I tried all possible fixes but couldn't make it run decently on neither my XP nor my Win7 machine. So sad :(

    So there is no one besides me and Lonely Vazdru (who also made LP on the Codex) who finished this cool game?
    Such a shame...

    Seems I'm lucky but in this case people should have chance to try it.

    What bugs me is that I love DW Bradley's Wizardries and I know I'm going to love Wizards & Warriors... as soon as I get it to run. Such a bummer. :/

    I think I got Wizards & Warriors running on one of my modern machines but didn't have time to play it through. I'll try to remember what I did to get it working... had to jump through some hoops for sure. I'd like to give it a proper play-through anyway.

    Have you tried any of the fixes here? http://www.jeffludwig.com/wizardswarriors/download.php
    Scroll down to the mods, I use Win7 64bit and managed to get it working with them.

    Yeah, I tried everything I could find on the internet, those fixes included. I think I wasted a few days trying to get the game to run with all possible fixes/options. Still no luck.

    JudasIscariot does this mean we'll see other Acclaim games too? Like Forsaken for instance.

    I had a similar experience. For the average user, W&W is a broken piece of shite and I'm not wasting any more of my time trying to squeeze blood from that particular stone.

    edit: sorry, I was thinking of Dungeon Lords

    I don't know and if I did I'd have to hide behind my NDA. Sorry :(

    As a consolation, we do have Shadow Man, so there's that at least :)

    I don't know if we talked to him or not as that's not my department and if I knew, then, yes, I'd hide behind my NDA :P

    Sorry for the answer that you didn't want to read/hear :/

    Re-volt makes me want to see Rollcage and MindRover on GOG - think those were on the same PCG demo disc I played way back so they are forever linked in my mind.

    In case you missed it, we updated the Mac version of Total Annihilation Commander Pack. This update now has working multiplayer and fixes the resolution issue where you could only play the game in 640 X 480.
