Huh. I'm still seeing none, and from what I can tell, I should qualify for at least 3 of them (sunless sea, 1 amnesia game and deadly premonition). I might have to get a canuck to see if any show up for them. Maybe it's a regional thing.
Those games are hard yo. While it doesn't seem to be on sale, I will forever preach the brilliance of Wizardry 8. It's a huge step beyond previous games of the series and bolder than anything the Japanese spin-offs and their clones ever did with the genre and it bums me out that Sirtech died with it.

You also get a free copy of StarCrawlers if you spend +US$15. Right now I'm going through my GOG wishlist and checking what I can get for $15 because StarCrawlers looks freaking awesome.

StarCrawlers is in fact freaking amazing. A bit grindy, but given the size of the team that produced it, some top notch gaming in space with an old Toney 'gridder' feel.
@iolo you seem to know stuff. One reason I want StarCrawlers on GOG is because it seems like a good game to play for quick breaks at work. Would that be accurate or does it require like a 30 minute session? How pick-up-and-play is it?

You can save and quit mid-mission, so short playtimes are cool.
It's a very hub-and-mission focused game, and the missions run from half-an-hour to a couple-of-hours in length, in my experience.
So, pretty much ideal for what you're looking for?
MDK is such a great game. I grabbed the GOG version just now to compare to a CD re-release I bought back in 2003-2004. The disc version I have seems to be an earlier version. The intro videos and the menu music are completely different from the GOG version. In the Performance section, the rating for my disc version caps out at 180 something, whereas the GOG version caps out at 480 something. This is what lead me to believe I have an earlier version. I also have a MDK Direct3D executable whereas the GOG version uses 3dfx's glide. I wasn't even aware there was a glide version.
I'm torn wanting to buy them. On one hand they're back and I want to thank them for it (missed it before). But on the other hand they are more expensive than before. Well not if you buy all three, but I'm on the fence.

I remember when we had a PC built back in the early 2000s and the gpu at the time came with MDK2 and some racing game called I think e-racer. Didn't play too much of the racing game, but played a lot of MDK2. Great game, but never played the first one. Looking forward to trying it out.
I actually quite liked OMF Battlegrounds! It did some really interesting things and seemed very promising prerelease (I was one of the people participating in testing it), but they ran out of budget, the team was just too small and they ended up nerfing all HARs' specials in the name of balance pre-release rather than balancing them as a whole, taking away what made them special.
It was a disappointingly similar experience to what happened with Overgrowth.
Also, good luck getting OMF:BG running on a current PC, I failed last time I tried.
Dune and Dune II are at the top of my wish list for GoG stuff, but I'm not sure if they're going by the requests list any longer or just wait for publishers to come to them.

On Must Fall was amazing. I played the shit out of the limited shareware version.
I had the full version (yay, BBSes!) but yeah, I also played it a crap ton. That game had pretty much everything I loved about the Mortal Kombat series with a cool almost Mechwarrior-y vibe to it. I actually still have it on my hard drive today.
Just thought I'd mention this (just saw it a couple minutes ago)...
GOG has Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition up for $10 (that's 50% off regular price).
EDIT - what in the whatwhat? Looks like GOG done goofed with the sale. I reloaded the page and the price went back to the non-sale $20. Anyways, broke the URL...nothing to see here.

Thanks for the heads up. I have no idea what A.D. 2044 is, but all the game goodies are in polish.
It also says that new games have been added to GOG Connect but it's not showing any games for me. Is anyone else seeing any games there?

I have 5 showing up: Deadly Premonition, Nosferatu, Shattered Haven, Sunless Sea, and The Void.

I'm seeing 29 games. But already have one of them apparently.

Also SOMA and Hand of Fate for me.

I found that all games are awesome as when I originally played them.

I bought that pack. I can give you a link if you want to download one of the games and give it a test run before you buy.

They also added the Syberia games to GoG Connect.

It's a very unforgiving cyberpunk point'n'click. You can get a game over from leaving the apartment without getting dressed.

Yessss! I've been waiting for these to show up.
And they include holiday hare too just in time for Christmas.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Also, XCOM: The Bureau is free right now.
The publisher made OMF2097 freeware in 1999. It runs in DOSBox!

Sadly, the sequel was completely different and reportedly awful. It's unlikely there's much demand for GOG to pick it up.
