So it seems that Majesty didn't go freeware and that website was a link to a Pirated version (corrected to be the official site where it is obvious it isn't freeware now)

So Once again, if GoG gets Majesty... A message would be nice.

B-B-B-BUMP!

I just bought MoO1+2 off GoG.

For the sake of not spamming new topics, what RPGs or other games did you guys buy from GoG that I might consider getting? I'm itching for something old than I might have missed (Like Arcanum)

Ultranecro, but GoG just hooked up with the EA back catalog. Which means they put Dungeon Keeper, WC: Privateer and Ultima Underworld 1&2 up for sale today with more to come.

The Dungeon Keeper is the DOS version, but it's still Dungeon Keeper. Downloading now.

Edit: Oh my, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is going to be in the next batch of games.

Great news all the way around! Do all these games work fine in Win7?

The DOS games come with preconfigured dosbox, never had any trouble with those. Only games on GoG I've had some difficulties with (and then only minor trouble) are the games from the win95/early directdraw generation, like PlaneScape:Torment, Fallout and similar isometric games.

Once they get Alpha Centauri, it will be mine :)  I played that game ages ago, but I lost my copy. One of the best games ever.

Gametap used to have all those games (thief, baldurs gate, ultima, and pretty much every one listed on this thread) but sadly the companies withdrew selling rights.

I don't think we will be seeing them on this site either.

You are wrong then if you think you won't be seeing them, they've already put two of the Ultima games and both Baldurs Gates up.

Bump to celebrate the rerelease of SMAC (no Alien Crossfire though, not yet anyway), which happened about 5 minutes ago. Crusader: No Regret Remorse as well, which I vaguely remember as a good but insanely hard game.

Crusader AND SMAC!?

Both awesome games. I tried to get Crusader working through DOS box a couple years ago and it was too laggy. Anyone able to say how well these work?

Don't know about crusader, might buy it later. SMAC seems to run perfectly.

If you haven't played SMAC, you simply need to play Alpha Centauri.

It's everything that was good about Civ games done sci-fi and more.
