You can put Gorky 17 on the shit list. it does not work properly.

The Zork Anthology is...just pathetic. We don't have manuals for all of the games, and we don't have any representations of feelies. I bought this pack out of love for these games, but I honestly regret it every time I see it in my list.

And the Age of Wonders manuals?

We made so many threads about this...

Just a note about Riven, AFAIK the image quality as a whole isn't better, just the FMVs.

Would love to see Overseer DVD version (or at least DVD qualify videos added), but I'm not holding my breath

Operation Flashpoint was taken off, as well as Republic: The Revolution.

keremix: There were other games removed from the catalogue such as Operation Flashpoint and a couple of racing games.
Also Cannon Fodder actually is a wonderful game but not GOG's version: It lacks the original music and videos
I added all of the missing games. For Cannon Fodder, I think the GoG version is the original PC version that was a garbage port, so I didn't add it to the list. The only alternative is the Amiga version, which this site doesn't claim to encompass.

DukeNukemForever: Good thread, I totally missed this one. Some additions which come to my mind:

Handbook, etc:
Patrician 1: Map and handbook
Age of Wonders series (all three games): Handbooks (see replacementdoc)
Incubation (Battle Isle Platinum Pack): It's not the original game manual, it's the weapon manual. (see replacementdoc).

Easy Fixes
Call to Power 2: Manual is not in the installer. It can be found under additional content.
Icewind Dale 2: Manual is not in the installerl.It can be found under additional content.
Battle Isle 1 (Battle Isle Platinum Pack): Manual is in the game folder, but no shortcut in the document folder.

Other Versions:
Kings Quest 4: Rare AGI-version (there was an agi and a sci version of the game)
This is great! I added the missing manuals, but I'm not sure where the "EASY FIXES" section belongs. Maybe, an "EASY FIXES" section on its own like you separated it out? Also, it's difficult (meaning I'm a bit lazy and ignorant) about the King's Quest games, so I didn't list every version missing. I might get around to it, but if someone who wants to either point me to a well-laid-out list of missing variations or something similar, then I'm more than welcome to go into detail. I posted links to the forum posts that seem to encompass at least a portion of the problem. Thank you again for your contribution to our community! :-)

Smannesman: Alone in the Dark is also missing the newspapers and playing cards that were included, replacementdocs has them but that's just not the same.
Added.

Done.

At the least, we should get the missing manual. Added.

I fixed the description of the 'issue.'

Fuzzyfireball: Operation Flashpoint was taken off, as well as Republic: The Revolution.
It seems like a lot of dupe posts about this, so I added in the older titles and the one I did not know about.

Thank you to all.

WARNING: I checked replacementdocs and it indeed has them but only in Spanish for Alone in the Dark 1 & 2. Only the third one has it in English.

I did warn you it wasn't the same as a GOG release ;)

As a side note, even the WORST Zork compilation releases made an attempt to recreate the feelies. One release was considered very poor because low-quality black-and-white scans of feelies simply looked like shit. All the same, it sets the precedent that Infocom anthologies SHOULD contain some form of Feelie representation.

Very useful thread! :)

The easy fixes are regarding the topic indeed a grey area, because they are not really missing but only in the wrong place ;-) I would really appreceate to have them also here in a seperate area, because most of us only backup the installer and then miss the manuals. This thread would be perfect to check before downloading if it necessary to go to other places or to download more files from here to get really all the stuff.

I dont' have the quests packages from here (got the collection cds), but from some threads and screenshots it seems gog misses the following versions:
Police Quest 1 original (AGI-Version)
Kings Quest 1 remake (SCI version)
Kings Quest 4 (AGI-Version)
Space Quest 1 remake (SCI version)

Edit: Oh, I missed the windows versions of some games, which looks better. So far Kings Quest 6 & 7, Space Quest 4, Police Quest 4, Phantasmagoria 1 & 2 and Gabriel Knight 2. I know for sure there was a thread about Kings Quest 4. Also there was a project for Phantasmagoria 2 to modify a windows executable for the gog dos version.

I adjusted most of the post, but I didn't 'fix' the Windows versions for the games you listed yet because I'm going to go through the threads to find some links.

So has the music for Blood been fixed yet? I actually found a retail copy of this thing and can provide full audio rips if required.

Also, regarding Blood - we're missing the Type O Negative music video that came in disc 2 of the original game. Not to mention this copy I have appears to include Windows 95 binaries...

Thanks. I think a detailed list of the windows versions is not so important for now, because with all the needed fixes and the testing I don't expect there are good chances we will see them here. With Dosbox they have functional versions, mayvbe also for the next operating systems. Only if someday the scummvm project makes this versions runable, but at this moment I will post that here ;-)

Oh, if we also post fixes like this I should say that there will be an update for Heroes of Might and Magic 2:
