crazy_dave: Pharao, Zeus (Acropolis being the game + expansion), Emperor, and Caesar IV all seem like good games to add to GOG (especially the first two).
Zeus was amazing. I've tried installing it again, but without success. Windows 7 64-bit seems to have killed it :(
I agree, Zeus, Pharaoh + Cleo should be on GoG.com aswell. =)
God I would kill for Pharaoh, Cleopatra, Zeus and Poseidon to be posted up on here. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Children of the Nile doesn't do Pharoah justice! It's like taking a shower without water. Pleeeeeaaassseee add Pharoah and Zeus on here!

Evilone666: I do not know how GOG works, but will they ever realese Pharaoh?

It is the same as Caesar III (for does who do not know)but mutch more better in my opinion, and some what easier to, you do not need to worry about getting bankrupt like in Caesar becuse here you can mine gold, and the nature is more alive. And you can build large monuments that takes for ever to build.

Looks like we're not getting the city-builder games anytime soon, unfortunately.

Hey now, don't be so harsh to Children of the Nile. Maybe it wasn't as good as Pharaoh, I wouldn't say it's like showering without water. Sure, it had its flaws, but I, for one, really appreciated the fact that my most valuable asset is not money, but my people.
Zeus: Master of Olympus, one of the greatest games made! Works no more on Windows 7 :(
I was surprised to see Caesar III and not Pharaoh as well. I can't complain though, I loved Caesar III. Hopefully they will release Pharaoh someday...
If GOG never gets it, Is there no other place on the web where I can currentyl buy a digital copy of Pharaoh?

Pharaoh is awesome, i rmb playing it as a kid.
That's cool bro

I never played it, that's why I'd like to see it on GOG.

I play the GOG version of Caesar III sometimes and it's good fun.
Ceasar III, Pharaoh/Cleopatra, and Zeus/Poseidon are the greatest city management games ever made. I hope they can work things out to get those latter two released on GOG.
Pharaoh on its own is unlikely to be re-released: it is already compatible with Windows 7 32/64-bit. However, they are more likely to release Pharaoh Gold (aka, Pharaoh and Cleopatra together) since Cleopatra is really buggy with Win7

try Ebay. i've recently bought all the Sierra/Impressions city builders off a couple of UK sellers. prices are in the 4-7 GBP range.

i've also tried all the demos beforehand, and they all work on W7x64. Caesar IV i've already received, and the full game works like a charm.

what's that got to do with anything? plenty of games on GoG work just fine on W7 without any modifications or adjustments. GoG isn't about incompatible games, it's a about good old games.

DrIstvaan: We can't know for sure when, if ever they get the game.
I wouldn't get my hopes up, though; it seems we're not seeing any more Activision titles anytime soon.
However, you may be sure we'd appreciate Pharaoh as well; counting you, we're at least 4 people who actively expect that game.
Why would't we be getting more activision games? Did I miss some gog/activision related news?

I don't have any proof; I just find they've got their hands full with other things. So far, unfortunately, reality has proven me right, though: the only time they expanded the Activision catalog was the addition of the Zork games.

If that's true, it's sad.
