Dreamcast (Shenmue pls:) )
Nintendo 64 (Zeldas)
Arcade
But i guess the games will be emulated somehow, and as far as i know, Dreamcast emulator isnt perfect. But lets hope the best:) By the way I probably wouldnt buy other games for these systems, i like the old PC titles better, but these games were great.

Aside from the fact that for obvious reasons, Nintendo on any non-Nintendo platform wouldn't happen, no NES amongst the choices alongside the SNES and N64? I am disappoint.
From those listed, I would go with Arcade, Amiga and Commodore 64. The MSX would also be appreciated if at all possible.
As an aside, would you be willing to do any translation work for any Japanese games on Japan-based platforms, if they were to reach GOG, if possible? Monster World IV for Genesis/MD is one such example.

Crom84: I really have no desire to play console games on my PC.
There are so many good old games for the PC that I would love to play again or discover for the first time. I thought the whole point with GOG.com was to make good old PC games available and playable on Win XP / Vista / 7 systems.
I think that it would be a bad thing if GOG suddenly started using their resources getting console games working on the PC instead of making PC games work on newer systems.
A NES game will always work in a NES console and either are not hard to get, but old PC games can be hard to get a hold of and almost impossible to get running on newer systems. That's why GOG is so important to me and the PC gamers around the world. You are not only making the games available, you are making them playable.
Most people own a Nintendo Wii and have through the "Virtual Console" shop already access to tons of old console games (even C64 games). The Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP have got a similar service, but none of them got any old PC games.
This also means that there's no chance in hell that Nintendo or Sony will allow their old games to be ported and emulated to run on the PC.
So please GOG, stick with PC games.
The PC gaming community really needs it.

The thing is, the console makers pay little mind to the retro console side, including Nintendo, who have gone weeks without adding a single game to VC. And there are only a handful of C64 games on the VC here in the US. Besides, the more avenues for old, and also previously unreleased in the US/Europe/etc. games on which to appear, the better. Besides, there's something to be said for the convenience of being able to play from your desktop.
And regarding the NES, good luck playing games with the standard front-loader. (I exaggerate a bit, but still.)

1) Sega Genesis

3) Super Nintendo
Arcade would be my next choice. But i would be more than happy just to see Sega Genesis video games here.

There are SO many incredible old PC games (and I use the term in the broad sense of personal computers) that have been utterly forgotten and abandoned that I really hope GOG.com doesn't invest the effort in console gaming.
I'd love to see Amiga and C64 games, though. Arcade games a distant third. What about Atari ST, Apple II, etc?
Edit: Honestly, the more I think about it, I'd rather GOG.com spent their energy bringing the hundreds of wonderful, classic PC games already on the wish list to the store before they worry about other platforms. Seriously, there are so many old DOS and early Windows games that are still not available anywhere.

1. Dreamcast: Because it had a lot of Good Old Games.
2. Amiga: Because I'm too young to have played it the 1st time.
3. N64: Because I had a Playstation, and missed out the 1st time.

GOG.com: Thank you all for such a great feedback on our first question in "GOG Question Time." Going through a 32-page thread took us a while, but it was interesting and fun. Now it's time for question no. 2!
Many of you repeated similar expectations concerning the future of your favourite digital distribution service :), and point in particular aroused our interest. Many of you asked for old games from platforms other than PC. So our question is "If GOG.com were to add games from a platform other than PC in the future, which would you choose?" You can choose from: Amiga, Commodore 64, Sega Genesis (Megadrive), Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Neogeo and Arcade. Post your top 3 picks [url=http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/GOG_Question_Time_question_2]in the thread and of course you can comment on your choices.

1. Super Nintendo
2. Arcade
3. Neo-Geo

Dreamcast is #1 because there are many games I'd never gotten a chance to play and would really want to.
Super Nintendo is #2 because it was the best system for RPGs and Platformers and would be an incredible addition to GOG.
Really, I would like if possible for games of both DC and SNES to wind up on GOG. :)
