What is GOG?
GOG stood for Good Old Games. It is run by the guys who made The Witcher (CD Projekt) and basically it is every PC game that has ever been awesome, plus a few that weren't awesome, online. Digitally distributed. For cheap. With no DRM. Fixed to work in XP and Vista and Windows 7. And they come with extras, like manuals and forum avatars and soundtracks and booze.*

What?!
Remember Fallout and Fallout 2? What about MDK? Or Sacrifice? Giants: Citizen Kabuto? Hostile Waters? Soldiers: Heroes of World War II? Operation Flashpoint? Descent? If you haven't heard of some of these, then you're in luck, because now you have a chance to discover them for the low, low price of less than $10. There are so many gems on this site that you could buy one game a day for a year and you'd probably only start buying crap in June.

I love GOG. Have I mentioned that? Although after their hijinks last week I made sure to download every game I had from them and back it up.

Getting started with BATTLETECH: Part 1 / Part 2
Edit: Damnit Iolo. Beaten.
I'm just wonder how that works out since I know that Ubisoft bought SSI to sit on it.
They just said Hasbro, didn't they? I don't think they mentioned their D&D games specifically so I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet.
Well, they already have games from both Atari AND Ubisoft, so...
I had Age of Wonders a long time ago. Damned if I can remember where it is.
Which of the ones sold by GOG would you guys recommend..just wait for shadow?

Thats your problem but not why you think.
Win7 version of DX is missing some files that older games use.
Try running this to see if it helps
You will probably still have to run the game in XP SP3 compat mode, possibly even as admin, but that should get it to work
Only the first one is on GoG right now. They announced that the others were coming "soon," but that was before the seizure so who knows.
I've never actually played any of them. I just got it my mind that Shadow Magic was the one to get (from an interface perspective, you are usually better off with the last in the series, all else being equal) and the prices on Amazon have always been reee-dick-u-lous so it got to be a thing with me. A pint-sized, consumer grail. I'd love to hear from someone who could actually speak to the differences between versions.

I found the first one was better than the second, but I never got to play Shadow Magic.
Did that bring back all the cool shit from the first game they took out in 2?
On another note: they have the I-war games :O
This is a question of great importance.
I don't think I could have dealt with all of that excitement and running to and fro.
Maybe it's time to give Baldur's Gate another shot.
They redesigned the site, added new content servers, came out of beta and released Baldur's Gate, with the promise of more Atari-Hasbro games coming (which presumably means Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate 2, Icewind Dale, etc).
Icewind dale looks fun. Is it time to do a fill Baldur's gate run through again? Maybe.
I then proceeded to play it for at least 5 hours straight, the game's just so much damn fun. Though I was a little overwhelmed at first,
I know. I have both of the originals, with their boxes and everything, and I still bought the GOG versions. It helps that the GOG version will work on my PC, where the original wouldn't. Great games. never got the love they deserved. I loved just dicking around in 2 and being a pirate.
Given that it's 163 pages I think it's probably not useless, at least.
Just put the widescreen patch on the base bg folder.
They do!
We'll see you again once your done playing it :P
Six more Hasbro titles, eh
Are there any old awesome Hasbro games they might pick? Because I'm not that familiar with 'em

These titles hitting GoG now, instead of earlier, is just the worst timing imaginable. I'm going to have to rebuy all of them. Also, the Fallout titles (which are quite wonky on Win7).
God damn it, GoG. Why you gotta work so slow? I mean, sure, discs are nice, but $6 a pop is nicer still.
Still gotta get Arcanum and Planescape to complete my 90's cRPG collection.
Edit: How is GoG on holiday sales? I'm thinking of snatching a whole bunch of stuff as soon as possible, but I never really checked out GoG untin DNF was released (kick started my nostalgia). Anybody shop at GoG during X-mas and such?
They had a very, very solid Christmas sale last year.
When did they get Arcanum? I might have to buy that
