Codename Eagle would be amazing to see on GoG, especially if they made it easy for people to host/connect to multiplayer servers. Sadly, they probably couldn't include the fan patches that made the multiplayer actually playable (and subsequently broke the single player campaign). I always wanted to play this with my friends over LAN, but they just rolled their eyes at me and thought I was weird.

I played it briefly and just remember cracking up at the guard's voices "YOU IDIOT! SHOW ME YOUR PAE-PARS!" Also, since I'm bored, here's some RTS games I'd like to see here on GoG:
MaliciousOnion posted:Shadow Warrior is open source. hth It is? 3D Realms is still selling it, but it should be on GOG too since they have a few of their games already. I've been wanting a complete 3D Realms/Apogee collection on either Steam or GOG, but I'm going to have to break down soon and get them for there.

glug posted:Yippy-kai ai yippity-yay. I remember liking the style of that game more then the game. The AI was horrible, even back in the day it was considered weak. You could do things like shoot a guy standing next to another guy and he wouldn't react at all to the guy standing next to him being sniped. It was a much better setting, theme, character, story and idea then an actual game I always thought. I got constructor awhile back, still haven't installed it yet.. ugh. I did play that back in the day, remember it being complicated and hard and I gave up on it. But I didn't buy it way back when, so I purchased it now to say sorry for downloading you when I was a kid. I think that is mainly what GOG is for me, repent for my sins.

Woebin posted:The first three C&C games are free at http://www.commandandconquer.com/classic, in case you didn't know. But maybe the First Decade pack adds something more, I don't know. I know, and I actually have a physical copy of it on my desk, but I want a digital copy instead of worring about discs. The First Decade is every C&C game from the first game to Generals: Zero Hour on one DVD, and I think it would work as a $9.99 GOG release since the first three games are free, and it only sells for $19.99 anyway.

I played Undying for the first time about a year and a half ago and it held up rather well. There was a brick and mortar store that was basically GoG where I lived, and I miss it bad. My collection of games that I got from there were. Homeworld(1 and 2) Fallout Collection(This was before it was re-released) Heretic Painkiller System Shock 2 Chaos Legion(I really enjoyed it although the last boss is bullshit) Medieval Total War Gold Clive Barkers Undying Space Rangers 2 Gold They also sold new games at discounted prices. And they were a small computer repair place(how I found out about them originally) Such an awesome store.

I always thought the Creatures series was supposed to be much more in-depth, like adventure games, than the Petz series. Does anyone know which one is the "best"? There has to be an obvious purchase amongst the three they've released.

There has to be an obvious purchase amongst the three they've released. Not so much like an adventure game but definitely a lot more in depth than Petz. It's more like a genetic experimentation sandbox game... yeah let's go with that. Wikipedia posted:The program was significant as it was one of the first commercial titles to code alife organisms from the genetic level upwards using a sophisticated biochemistry and neural network brains. This meant that the Norns and their DNA could develop and "evolve" in increasingly diverse ways, unpredicted by the makers. By breeding certain Norns with others, some traits could be passed on to following generations. Most interestingly, the Norns turned out to behave similarly to living creatures. This was seen as an important insight into how real world organisms may function and evolve. Earlier alife programs had worked by giving their organisms a limited set of commands and parameters, and seeing whether the way the subjects behaved was realistic. You can definitely get some fun out of the game by just training and looking after your creatures but the most fun is had playing mad scientist. Out of the three I'd say Exodus is the best one to get. It's a compilation of the last couple of games in the series and has the most in-depth artificial life simulation. You can also get a free addon which adds the entire environment from the first game as a separate room. Also, Wikipedia posted:Among the fans of Creatures were the Oxford zoologist Richard Dawkins and author Douglas Adams. High praise there...

The Creatures games scared me because every time I'd try to play the game right, I would, eventually, start loving around with genetics and injecting creatures with unknown chemicals just to see what they would do and it just started to make me really uncomfortable about myself.

Not sure if this is well known, and I'm not going to link it considering it might be considered  here, but there is german System Shock community who claims a lot of Looking Glass titles are abandonware and provide downloads for most notably Crusader No Remorse, Bioforge, Ultima Underworld, Wings of Glory and a remake of System Shock 1.Ofcourse, they're probably not compatible with Vista/Win 7.

I remember playing the original Creatures game when I was younger. I always ended up with a group of highly dysfunctional creatures, mostly down to my abuse and genetic meddling. One of them was afraid to eat and starved to death. I'm a terrible person. EDIT: I'm thinking about getting Exodus, I never played 3. :5bux: seems pretty cool.
