The code should be on the original game's card in your library (but it only shows up on the website, not in the Galaxy client).  Go to "redeem code" at the bottom of the page and enter that code, and you'll be given the option to check out at the discounted price.

I'm so excited for the dark sun games. I think they're better than baldurs gate in terms of story and quest design. My dream game they'll never get because it's too obscure is Alien Legacy.

I can't comment on WotR, but one thing I liked about the duo is that they make having multi-class characters very viable and powerful... you almost gimp yourself if you have a party of 4 single-class dude(tte)s. Having an elven fighter/preserver/psionicist is rather badass, frankly.

You'd think Sega would be desperate for the money. Or is their stuff all unrunnable old Windows stuff? BadAstronaut posted:And this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Shadow It's not a D&D game, so it doesn't have the Long-Forbidden Brand and thus probably wouldn't experience the Cartmanland effect (i.e. people buy it because they finally can) as much, but on the upside, they wouldn't have to give Hasbro a cut of the profits. JustJeff88 posted:I also just remembered those two Buck Rogers games that were done in the Gold Box Engine, Countdown to Doomsday and Matrix Cubed, but I think that the rights for those are held by some studio in hollywood, so I wouldn't hold my breath. Those and that Spelljammer/Forgotten Realms game, Spelljammer: Pirates of Realmspace, are the last games in the Gold Box Engine. No, those are just the movie rights. Former TSR owner Lorraine Williams owns the relevant rights; WotC and thus Hasbro owns the RPG ruleset. BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 13:28 on Oct 28, 2015 |

Here's the remaining SSI-published D&D games (I might be missing at least one - Stronghold slipped under my radar completely). DRAGONLANCE: Heroes of the Lance trilogy War of the Lance Dragonstrike OTHERS: SpellJammer: Pirates of Realmspace The remaining Dragonlance games clearly aren't out of the question, since the Krynn series wasn't labeled 'Dragonlance Collection' or 'Dragonlance: The Archives'. As previously stated, also of note is P{rophecy of the Shadow, a brandless game.

JustJeff88 posted:Not a D&D game, but I would like them to have a go at D.W. Bradley's Wizards and Warriors. It is possible to get it to run on modern systems, especially the videos in-game, but I managed it and with GOG's wizardry I bet that they could do it with aplomb. Definitely agree with this---the game is such a pain to deal with, but amidst all the nigh-literal descent unto madness that was D.W Bradley's jaunt to it from Wizardry and Wiz 8...it definitely deserves a second chance if they can bludgeon it into an ideally working order. At the very least, it needs a "fan" scene even more than the very modest one that Wiz 8 managed to eke out---not quite to a Co8 degree like ToEE did, but closer than not.

BiggerJ posted:Why haven't they struck a deal with Sega yet? I have no idea when it comes to Sega and why GOG haven't approached them to date. Sega had tons of ports of Saturn/Dreamcast games on PC like Panzer Dragoon, Virtua Fighter 1/2, Sega Rally, Billy Hatcher, and assorted Sonic games. They also have more recent stuff that is now getting older and thus within "classic" territory like Condemened. All of those would be good additions on GOG. Segasoft, though is a rather different matter. Segasoft was a partnership between CSK and Sega, they were the people behind the Heat.net service that powered a bunch of online games way back then. Segasoft titles thus have two problems like I mentioned: 1) licenses (who owns these now? someone would have to figure that out), 2) Windows 95 titles, which don't run well at all in the NT world and can't just be conveniently wrapped on a DOSBOX installation. If GOG won't bother with these they are pretty much dead as history goes. A tiny footnote that few will remember. DotEmu stopped the whole trying to get old games on their storefront a while ago and is now focused on remaking old games (badly). GOG is basically the only player left in town for old games.

I hope they dont add Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg because whenever I see its name, due to some forgotten but presumably traumatic childhood association, I immediately say Teri Hatcher and the Curse of the Phantom Bum Eggs. Please spare me this GOG

moot the hopple posted:I liked the Jedi randomization because it would produce goofy things like Jedi Chewbacca and Lando. Rebels kind of get screwed in terms of the force because you have to wait ~200 days for Luke to get back from Dagobah before he can start detecting force sensitives, then you have to level him up to master so he can train others. You get Leia as a guaranteed force user but it's kind of wasted on her other than raising her diplomacy a bit. I guess it's a little balanced out by the fact that there's more commando type heroes on the Rebel side so you have the potential for better Jedi fighters. There's supposed to be an event where Han is captured by bounty hunters in the game but I've literally never seen it happen successfully. It just shows him next to the corpses of 5 dozen bounty hunters going "These guys just don't know when to quit!" every single time. Guess he has to be injured or something for it to happen.

Ah, yes, I had forgotten about the strategy game War of the Lance; confused it with the first game of the HotL trilogy. Heroes of the Lance and Dragons of Flame are both kind of crap, but I would still like to see them alongside Shadow Sorceror (a totally different genre of game that I have never played) in a bundle for, say, $9.99.

Dark Sun is maybe the coolest D&D setting out there, but I actually haven't played the games. I've tried, but I've always found it extremely tough to go back to the pre-BG D&D games. I know they're well-liked though.

I jumped on KotC because it reminded me of Warriors of the Eternal Sun on Genesis, which I adored, but now I kind of regret buying it (it was actually given to me, but still) not because it's bad, because it's quite good, but because the author is a total arsehole and in retrospect I don't want people giving him money.

KotC dude is self-sabotaging by refusing to put his game on other sites, developing dumb RTSs nobody wants instead of KotC 2, and self-publishing books about the glory of libertarianism because theres a market for those as written by a French videogame developer. Hell, Jimmy Page and David Bowie both hosed 14-year-olds but I still listen to their music. Up to you who you give your money to I guess, just seems weird.

I see both sides of the issue of "I like the product of Person X, but Person X is a dick who does bad things... am I wrong in buying Person X's product because they are a douche even though the product has nothing directly to do with that?" I'd like to think that I stress about it because I have a conscience and I want to do the right thing, but I could be flattering myself.Lunchmeat Larry posted:KotC dude is self-sabotaging by refusing to put his game on other sites, developing dumb RTSs nobody wants instead of KotC 2... I'm genuinely glad that I am not the only one who thinks that. Once in a great while I check his site to see if he actually does anything regarding a sequel, and instead he either further tweaks his manifesto or remakes a Dune RTS from years ago that nobody sodding cares about.

Why exactly wouldn't GOG want to carry both titles, is it because they don't have enough inventory space on their servers? Or perhaps they want to keep the quality of their games high, which is why they carry Daikatana?

I'm not going to get involved into the "ethics argument" and I'm sorry to have inadvertently kicked it off, but I read that link and I'm frankly stunned. If it's one thing that libertards usually love it's money, and this crétin is basically refusing to put his very popular game on a popular distribution service, which would probably increase his sales by orders of magnitude even if he gets a smaller cut, because they don't want his far less popular RTS which for some reason he adores. Utterly ridiculous or I'm missing something.

It's not like Eidos' CEO flew to Poland and said "you're going to be John Romero's bitch or else no Deus Ex", Daikatana is a 15 year old joke. I just think GOG is being a bit foolish, carrying two games that aren't on Steam makes your service more appealing for both users and other small developers.

There's probably more to the list but I haven't kept track.
