If finding such a fix takes me an hour, I'd actually gladly pay someone else 5 bucks to do it for me. An hour of my time is worth more to me than 5 dollars.

I kind of agree with this, but more importantly,
ARE THEY RELEASING BALDUR'S GATE 2 THIS WEEK?
Cause if not, there's gonna be a riot!  |

Well that's a little underwhelming then. That fix can be applied by the end user after a little google searching.
I think a lot of their games fall under that category, actually. You just install it, google the problem and you find the fix uploaded to a forum 3 or so years ago.
99 times out of 100, that seems to be the case. It's just that 1% that I'm thankful they exist for.

Game eh? They are still not taking the apology very seriously (that was already obvious from the whole fake monk costume videos). Basically they don't think it was any big thing if it was a "game"
The problem is, if this is their normal attitude towards users (which all evidence seems to point to), that doesn't make me feel confidant about buying from them. If the whole shut down was a one time thing thats one thing, if its just a symptom of a habitual arrogance and non caring attitude towards users thats quite another. |

I also really liked the Kyrandia series of adventures.
One of the only reasons I scanned the GOG list was for Kyrandia games...
Those were funny as hell... And of course, they need DOTT (Day of the Tentacle)...
Good times...

Really? What was wrong with it? Dont ask me
I installed Arx Fatalis on both my XP and Vista machine a couple years ago and the only problem was a few textures that were incompatible with modern Nvidia cards somehow. I guess they fixed that problem. |

I installed Arx Fatalis on both my XP and Vista machine a couple years ago and the only problem was a few textures that were incompatible with modern Nvidia cards somehow. A quick Google turned up a post on Jowood's official Arx forum where some guy zipped up edited versions of the texture files that worked on nvidia cards. This was back in 07, maybe 08.
Arx actually runs perfectly in Vista, for me anyway. |

Yeah but thats not compatible then now is it? It is. The game is fully playable.
If i have to use the same workarounds i have to use when i use the version i already had then whats the point of GoG. The point is being able to buy these old games and being sure, they work on modern OS. GOG.com fixed games, which were NOT working with Vista/W7 at all, like "Knights & Merchants". Other games like "Arx Fatalis" got patches from the devs especially for GOG.com. As for others like "Messiah" or "Gorky17", they promised fixes in the future.
But besides that ... i am still waiting for the pony they promised me after shuttting down the service for a cheap marketing ploy. |

I mostly use the service for games I never got around to buying back in the day, but there is some attraction in getting a completely patched and pre-tweaked version of the game with no DRM or disc check and often a soundtrack. I wouldn't spend a ton of money on them, but for $5 or so it is attractive, and you support them getting more games you might not own.
That said I only bought a few I already own... the Tex Murphy games being the ones that jump out at me right now, as they are a bitch to setup and disc-swap in DosBox. |

I loved the Lands of Lore games, although I never played the 3rd. I can distinctly recall Patrick Stewart's voice announcing "Lands of Lore!" on the title screen back then. Memories!
I also really liked the Kyrandia series of adventures. I should check to see if GOG has those up.

Just google "Client MFC Application has stopped" for giggles ^^
Disabling DEP is a workaround I'd rather not use. |

What really is the prime fact is that while they claim W7 and Vista compatibility thats nothing but a lie for games like Blood2 etc. This isnt a lie. Blood2 works with Windows7. Played it last month. Just avoid selecting resolutions above 1280x960, since the loading screen interface doesnt scale above that resolution. |

| I wish they'd get a hold of Lands of Lore 3. I always wanted to play the 3rd one but can't get it working on any of my desktops. Best I've done is get it working on a very very old win2K machine but it crashes to desktop every 10-20 minutes. |
