You know, with console classics being rolled up into collections and the like, I can't help but wonder why we don't see that on GoG. Obviously, no one's expecting Nintendo first party here for reasons that should be obvious, but considering there are Genesis and Atari games all over the place on Steam and arcade classics being rereleased onto current consoles and PCs, I can't help but wonder why we've not seen that here on GoG. I know I'd buy an R-type collection or a Sonic Collection or large Atari 2600 game collections at $9.99 per. Maybe hit up Hyper SFII or SFIII 3rd Strike... Lots of opportunities.

GOG is all about the hard to find PC games, not console and arcade games, which as you mention, you can already get plenty of other places.

Anyway it would be cool to find them here in a GOG style (DRMfree, extras and so on).

That's come up in the past, it was a poll IIRC, but I don't think that anybody knows how hard, or if, they're working on it at present.

In the long run, I think they should do it, but I think right now they've got their hands full with the rather large number of PC games that they have licensed. Well, and licensing more of them to release.

It would be really nice if gog could go more into console/arcade gaming. I know that PSN/XBL/VirtualConsole are more appropriate for console/arcade games. But I think that gog could make a step to these games as well.

Above all, there are a lot of games that seems to bee abandonware or are really unknown (all the non-Mario/Sonic/Zelda/... games) and woul be a perfect match for the gog community.
