When I saw this on GOG I though, "Hey. That's a fairly new game, what gives?"
Then I checked and imagine my suprise when I find that this game was actually released 5 years ago.
Time sure does fly.

TheCheese33: It stinks that this is the only thing GOG has to fight against Steam's Lucasarts Week. Nothing can stop the Steam sale...

Lucasarts and Steam are a pretty piss poor mix if you ask me. There are a number of titles I'm inclined to avoid simply because I highly doubt anything has been done to ensure they work on modern OS.
In that regard, Lucasarts are probably the shoddiest publisher on Steam, to be honest.

Anuman Interactive confirmed on facebook that they will release more titles on GoG.

Actually, time "goes by" faster the longer you've been around.

SLP2000: Hey GOG, where are RPG releases?
In last three months we got 10 adventure games (including 5 King's Quest & 3 Space Quest games), 2 strategy games and 4 shooters.
And there are tons of unreleased good old RPG games, so you have no choice.

Good question. I am not a big fan of adventures, but love RPG's. It would be nice to see here Wasteland (already mentioned), Eye of the Beholder and many other classic gems. And what about turn based tacticals, like Chaos Gate or Space Crusade - give us some good old Warhammer 40K! And surely I would love to see here Shadow of the Horned Rat or Dark Omen. Finally I would like to complain about simulators. Is there a chance of getting any of MechWarriors here? As I remember MechWarrior 2 was made on the same engine as Interstate '76. And the game was published by Activision, so it shoudn't be difficult to put it to GOG's portfolio? Or am I wrong?

Well, while I'm totally into rpg, I understand where's the problem.
Most Good Old RPG Games are D&D-based, and there are some licence problems.
I bet there are also problems with Warhammer games, and afaik Shadow of the Horned Rat is hard to run on modern OS.
Isn't MechWarrior freeware?

As far as I know, only MechWarrior 4 is a freeware. And because of that I would like to see older Mechwarriors on GOG, with all of the extras, etc.
Regarding Warhammer and D&D I think that if we lived in perfect world these games should be published on GOG. But we live in imperfect world and I am pretty sure that greedy genestealers from Games Workshop and those Wankers of the Coast (or whoever owns rights for D&D) won't agree with me.
Anyway I still hope to see Warhammer and D&D here :-)

GOG.com: Combining a great story, impressive cinematics, detailed graphics and an interesting, believable mystery, Still Life is a great example of how the adventure game genre still has a lot to offer, even in the age of shooters and slashers.
[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/still_life][/url]Still Life is a point-and-click adventure game centered around a mysterious serial murder case. Expect some actual investigative work, not pixel-hunting and combining a toothbrush, tweezers and a sponge in order to open a tuna can. You'll be looking for evidence, using fancy equipment such as dark-light filters, collecting samples, piecing clues together with your colleagues... Then you'll relive an investigation into a seemingly identical case, which took place 80 years ago. If you like adventure games, you can't go wrong with this one. But if you enjoy a good mystery as well, you're bound to fall in love with Still Life.

Must be good. Still,... seriously? Another adventure game?

Kunovski: the only good game EA has released recently was Mirror's Edge - it was original, with smashing feel of movement (after the first chase I've actually caught myself breathing heavily as if I was actually running

Yet another parkour game. Pass!

Ironically, the one game I'm looking to buy from Lucas Arts for years now they don't sell: Rebellion!

Well, I do know that unless I pay attention to the calendar, I'm only aware of when I have to go in to work (tonight, in fact), and I have to actually think about what "time" it is (day of the week, time until something occurs, like a game release). Then there's my co-workers, who sometimes surprise themselves with how much time has passed (though for me, too, time can just slip by).
...or maybe not, sometimes things feel like they're taking forever. Example: the God of War Entertainment Pack. C'mon, November...

I still own all those games you mentioned either on PC or C64! :)
