Hmmm... none of these have downloadable installers yet :/.

Someone needs to rework those Canon screenshots because that's some real stretched fugliness.

This article has me sold on "Akimbo".

I hope the offline installer will be available soon...

Excessive Speed made it to my wishlist. It looks like Micro Machines and a bit like Death Rally. Could be an enjoyable game.

Still nothing, this is so disappointing :(


I was extremely curious about Akimbo and Excessive Speed - not only because they're extremely fun games, but also because retail version is making a lot of problems to launch on modern systems (e.g. I could play Excessive speed only without any sound/music).

old ≠ classic

Why calling games that are old (some of them are not very old) classic games?
I re-read some of the tests for those games back than...and they were just mediocre.
Selling them for anything more than €3 is a scam.

I completely agree with one aspect of your comment. Not all old games are ‘’classics‘’ and not all ‘’classics‘’ have to be recent games. And that goes for every game that claims to be a classic. Nowadays concepts are misrepresented or do not correspond to the meaning that was given to the word or the term. A game becomes a classic for different reasons: It changed a paradigm in the history of videogames; it was a benchmark for the industry or the market for its time, generally speaking, it became a trend or inspiration for other development studios; or it was a sales success (big or medium) at its release. There are also games that become cult classics because of their plots, mechanics or gameplay. Thus, a classic is the first Street Fighter 2, the first Doom, the first Colin McRae, the first 007: GoldenEye, the first and second Mortal Kombat, among other games. But now everything is called a classic because the developer or the publisher, the specialised magazine or the youtuber of the moment says so. That's why you shouldn't believe everyone right off the bat, having your own critique is fundamental, so have a hug!

... and still, even now, there are no offline installers :|.

I bought two of the games (40 Winks and Canon). 40 Winks has the offline installer. Canon doesn't seem to have either offline OR Galaxy installation. What the hell is going on?

40 Winks is not part of the recent batch, it's been on GOG since like forever.

I don't think the Galaxy installation option is available either at this point. Seems like they simply didn't create new builds for the release? It could be some fallout from the CrowdStrike debacle, I guess.

P.S.: I'm sure it will be fixed on Monday. Sadly, it isn't the first time something like this has happened :|.

To keep upcoming releases a secret GOG can 'hide' depots and downloads of games so that they can't be discovered in the API. I suspect the problem here is that they forget to un-hide them after release.
