mefito1996: Perhaps, but I very like them ;)
Can you give me some examples of turn based strategy games on GOG?

rawmilk905: Sorry for the late reply. I am happy to list some: Alpha Centauri, Empire Earth Gold, Heroes of Might and Magic Series, Age of Wonders Series, Disciples Series. There are many, go on the bottom part of the front page, click browse all games and then the Strategy tab, sort by either user rating or best selling, click on anything that looks interesting eliminating any RTS. Read a few user reviews and you are sure to find something you like.
Empire Earth Gold?
For the Amiga: Datastorm, Black Crypt.
For the C64: Archon 2 (with netplay please?), Ghostbusters, Lode Runner
Fitting to the thread title:
The Fool's Errand

dmetras: There was one that Interplay helped develop!

...Of course, that probably helps as much as the fact that Interplay helped develop Atomic Bomberman (he's a Hudson character). :(

crazy_dave: Interplay published/developed quite a few Star Trek games - in fact a lot of the devs/publishers of the various ST games are on GOG already. The problem is getting Paramount + whoever else to sign on now and negotiating revenue splits between the publishers and Paramount.
This should have been done when those deals where entered in to originally. IMO licensing deals expiring should only stop the licensee from developing new products and not from distributing old ones and they should have fees/royalties and revenue sharing already agreed upon no matter what distribution channel is used so that the licensee can put the games up where ever they like. The same goes for song licensing and the like, they should be perpetual, world wide and platform, format and distribution channel neutral for the game in question. Re-licensing for sequels and other new games is fair. But agreements and contracts with the potential for taking a game(or movie or book or whatever else cultural/creative work) off the market should be banned by law IMHO. There should also be a legal mechanism for dealing with rights hell. Random insurance companies should not be able to keep creative works from a new generation just as an example.

Tarm: Empire Earth Gold?
Is that not turn based strategy? I have not played it but the reviews indicate that it is. And it has a five star rating. The current city builder promo might be a place to start too.

Tallima: Empire Earth is an RTS.
Thanks, haven't played it yet, just got it recently. There is a comparison made to Age of Empires in one of the reviews that lead me to think it was turn based. Post edited.

The Sims. I'd like a digital copy of it.
Any of the 16-bit games developed for Windows 3.X (you'd need to emulate Windows 3.X to run those) including but not limited to:
Mission: Thunderbolt
Lode Runner: The Legend Returns
Pipe Dream

Old Mac games that was never ported to PC including but not limited to:
Asterax
Maelstrom
Mission: Firestorm (Sequel to Mission: Thunderbolt)
Bolo
Diamonds (and "More Diamonds") - http://takegame.com/arcade/htm/diamonds.htm, so disregard this one

There are many old games lost to bit-rot :(
System Shock 1/2
Myth 1/2

By the way, I misread the title, I most definitely don't want SS on Gog.

Turn based Strategy Sucks a$$ if I ever wanted to play Turn based Strategy I'd buy a friggin chess set and so Called RTS games Cheat by rushing take Age of Empires 1 for example You have your Village the way you like it and then 999,999,999 cyborg assasins from 999,999,999 AD come in with a Breath of hot air and a Toothpick destroy the entire galaxy and all plains of existance and all other galaxies in the entire solar systemand totally obliterates all known Life everywhere with the single twitch of the toothpick I am over -exagerating a little bit but you get my point?

Two problems with that. First, cheats don't work in AoE multiplayer unless enabled, and second, the only ones that work in multiplayer are the ones that boost resource stockpiles. A friend of mine and I have tried.
