This is the computer game that I played the most when it first came out. The fact that it is available now on my newer computer almost brought a tear to my eye. Excellent work, my friends. Now I need Shadow Warrior and Blood and life will be good.

Well, you know, Blood is actually considered abandonware, at least the three original episodes. Tell you what, I'll make a guide and post on the forums on how to obtain, install and run it (and have it working). If not for my bad habit of procrastination I can propably have the "guide" up by tomorrow. If It's not, nag until I do it.

Abandonware is not actually legal, a post such as you intend will probably be moderated.

Meh, even if it's not entirely legal it's not entirely illegal either, it's like a grey zone really.
And the site that I downloaded Blood from (abandonia) actually seems pretty careful about that stuff. They have taken some games down and they have a list of games that may be considered abandonware (and their respective copyright status).
Anyway, even if I'm not allowed to hand out a link to a download, I hope I can still make a guide to get it running.

I visit sites like that myself and though they may be in a grey area, gogs forums is just not the best place to discuss or link to said sites. I imagine if your trying secure the rights to sell the game online and your forum is littered with abandonware links it will make that job much harder.
A guide to getting blood to run would be awesome though.

I guess you're right, and I hope I'll get the guide up tomorrow. Hopefully I can show some screenshots too, but it will be pretty hard to stay under the 2MB limit.

I would have no problem paying for Blood with the Plasma Pak as well as Shadow Warrior with its relevant expansions right here, honestly. They would be worth it.
