Other examples here on GOG would be games like Sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

lowyhong: I cannot fathom whether the 'Dead' was intentional or not. I simply cannot.
It was a typo.

drhoads: Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe PST was overlooked at the time and did not sell well. Very few people I know have ever heard of it, so I have to disagree with your comment. I believe Planescape was an "lesser known title that slipped through the cracks". It has just gained notoriety overtime.... because it is awesome... :-)
Does context mean nothing? Not everything has to be so literal. Yes back in its day it wasnt as popular as most other games. But for many many years now it has gained a vastly larger audience and one of the larger titles people had been wanting on here. My definition of lesser known games are in the context of today because the audience of people right now who know and want say planescape vs people who know and want say, The Dark Eye is much larger.

Drelmanes: Dead guys? About not so known games, there's a lot of games in the catalogue that I never heard about. I see no problem in GOG selling very popular games, they gonna release obscure games soon or later, anyway, so you should not worry.
Did you not read what I wrote? I didnt say I was "worried". I was simply asking them not to forget the obscure stuff in their search for a customer base. And yes they have some oddball stuff in there, but again I wasnt worried, just saying dont forget the little games as well. Did I say gog had a problem with selling popular games? No I did not, infact I encouraged and thanked for them for doing so.

I only typed up my OP because this is one of the few sites I actually give a shit about if they do well or not. Like steam, I couldnt care less really. I guess you cant post a simple note on a forum without people doing their best to tear it apart and take things out context though. Only like one response in here actually understood what I was saying and gave some sort of adjulation. So I suppose Ill consider this thread dead rather than have to bail water out that morons keep throwing back in.

gargus: Its called a typo.
Your avatar's a zombie. I thought it might have been a theme. You could have had a whole motif going there. :P

Dead GOG, pleased to brain your acquaintance...
Let's hope we'll see here Severance: Blade of Darkness. God, that game rocked so hard. The best 3rd pers hack and slash game that no one played.

I cant believe people are still complaining about games they don't have. It's Planescape for godsakes. Relax.

gargus: Dear GOG guys. I love the fact you are bringing some tremendous games to us like the recent bauldrs gate and planescape torment and I like the site even more for it. Makes me glad that I have been a member since I joined in october 2008. But, I do have a comment and dont take this as me bitching or complaining because its not intended that way.

While I love the fact you are (and hopefully will continue to) bring us this big games all of us have been begging for you to get for years, but I also very much hope you are going to bring us the lesser known titles, the little games that slip through the cracks. The ones few know about, and fewer actually had a chance to play when they were out.

While Its great I can get duke nukem from you, planescape, baulders gate, phantasmagoria and hopefully other classics like system shock 2 and so on in the near future. But I am hoping you can bring us games like Darkseed, Realms of the haunting, The dark eye, Harvester, Silverload, Shadow of the comet, Call of cthulhu the dark corners of the earth and so on. THose are the games that would make me personally get really excited and be first in a virtual line to buy from you, those are the types of games that I have been wanting.


So good on you for bringing us all these great game, I just hope you dont concentrate to much on the big stuff and miss all those underrated titles as well.
They have a lot of titles that sold terribly (e.g. Sacrifice) and even one that is terrible but has a niche following (MoO3), I don't think they are ignoring the small stuff. My only sadness is I doubt they'll branch out into C64 games (would love to see Bard's Tale and the like).
Not sure if it's been posted yet, but Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire would be good adds.

Alpha Centauri and its expansion!

Seconded.

Hey, I meant no offence to you, sorry if I sounded agressive or something. And I did read what you wrote. I just don't care if in the next weeks they gonna release popular games, instead of obscure games.

Someone woke up the wrong side of the bed. Does this refer to my comment too? If so, it was just a joke. This madhouse is chock full of memes and in-house jokes, but nothing personally insulting enough for you to get this worked up. Lighten up stud.

Seconded - no one here disagrees, man. We just like to joke around, is all.
