We’ve got some great news for all the classic lovers – 8 timeless titles published by SNEG will soon join our catalog: Prophecy of the Shadow, Great Naval Battles: The Final Fury, Buccaneer, Renegade: Battle for Jacob's Star, Savage Warriors, as well as Wargame Construction Set, Wargame Construction Set II: Tanks!, Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905 + Campaigns, and Wargame Construction Set Pack (gathering all games from the WCS series).

Let’s take a closer look at all of that retro goodness!

Prophecy of the Shadow
A 1992 fantasy role-playing game developed by Strategic Simulations for MS-DOS. In this title, the land is slowly dying, and it is your mission to find out why. Your character is a disciple of Larkin of Bannerwick, but when he is murdered, you are blamed for his death. What’s also unfortunate is that you possess magical powers, but the king has outlawed all magic.



Great Naval Battles: The Final Fury
A compilation of all titles from the Great Naval Battles series – naval vessels combat simulators. All of them depict different conflicts, ranging from World War I to warfare in the North Atlantic during World War II. Every game provides a choice between individual ship views and fleet command views, and you can choose individual stations to operate during the game.



Buccaneer
A 1997 action strategy game in which you command a pirate ship in the Caribbean during the 17th century. You have a choice of six campaigns with varying goals, or you can just engage in standalone ship-to-ship battles.



Renegade: Battle for Jacob's Star
Published in 1995 and set in FASA's Renegade Legion universe, this title is an adaptation of the Interceptor board game mechanics as a space simulation shooter. You’ll find yourself as a pilot in a distant part of the universe, flying missions solo or with your wingmen.



Savage Warriors
A 1995 fighting game pitting warriors plucked out of time and forced to battle each other. It features 10 main characters and 5 secret characters fighting over interactive terrain with a variety of weapons.



Wargame Construction Set
A 1986 strategy game that lets you design and play turn-based tactical battles. You can create scenarios in many different time periods including modern day, ancient times, 1800's, and even in the future. With the complete control over all the units, and customization of their firepower, movement points, strength, aggressiveness and other statistics, you can truly become the battleground mastermind.



Wargame Construction Set II: Tanks!
A 1994 tactical level wargame of armored conflict from WWI to the 1990s. It offers limitless small scale tactical armored confrontations using the various tanks and tools of mechanized warfare. You choose one of three climates, pick opposing forces, and assign objectives. In addition, there are over 20 ready to play historical scenarios and a campaign feature included.



Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905 + Campaigns
A 1996 strategy that simulates battles throughout the era of percussion rifles, roughly comprising the second half of the 19th century. It provides several dozen battle scenarios, as well as a scenario editor in which you can develop your own battles.



All of that classic gaming fun – soon on GOG!

Anyways, great re-releases. Also kudos to SNEG for releasing some of their games on consoles, such as Chasm and Blade of Darkness!! Way to go!
Isn't SNEG a group of ex-Gog employee ?
I remember, that Renegade: Battle for Jacob's Star had excellent SVGA graphics, or even higher of it's time.

Matt Chat 504: Oleg and Artem of SNEG

"SNEG is bringing back some of the best CRPGs and strategy games of all time to GOG and other distribution platforms. Gold box, Black box, silver box and more! Oleg and Artem are super fans of the games they're publishing and have ambitious plans to bring back even more games from the golden age!"

Should be not too out of place here, with both Oleg Klapovskiy and Artem Shchuiko being former staffers of GoG's business development department.

One thing Oleg Klapovskiy said stood out:
"Plus again, I think the best tool for people who want some old games to be back is actually to go to GoG.com, and vote on the fantastic wishlist because, trust me, it's being used by the GoG business development team and not only by them."

TheBigCore: For anyone who buys Renegade: the Battle for Jacob's Star, the game is a DOS game and its game executable is R.EXE. The batch file RENEGADE.BAT simply points to R.EXE.

Renegade: the Battle for Jacob's Star requires Dosbox or one of its variants (Staging, X, etc) to be run.

It also has CD audio so GOG's release will probably have a GOG / DAT , GOG / CUE, or BIN / CUE file pair as well.
Why should anyone care about this? I just use the setups from GOG (Galaxy and Offline) and don't care what it does in the background.
Wargame Construction Set looks more interesting to me than its sequels.

Also, Phantasie Collection, if it shows up here, is something I'll definitely pick up.

Holy crap, some great stuff here! Devs, please, PLEASE make sure manuals are included!
Keep 'em coming!
Makes me remember Bard's Tale Construction Set existed.

mqstout: Makes me remember Bard's Tale Construction Set existed.
I remember that BTCS would allow you to make custom spells, but each spell could only have one effect. This means that, for example, you couldn't reproduce the "Flesh Restore" spell (restores HP and cures a couple status ailments), as you could have a spell either cure conditions or restore HP, but not both.

If that were fixed, then BTCS would have been a lot more interesting to me. Simply combining spell effects would open up tons of possibilities.

Edit: On the other hand, this is a capability that Unlimited Adventures doesn't offer at all.

victorchopin: Is GOG Sneg?
no, they're whale rock, at least somebody among the higher-ups, otherwise all that trash wouldn't have gotten through their world-famous curation.
Renegade is probably the best Xmas gift I could have this year. I played that game so much in my teens. Unfortunately I have only the big box + manual, CD got lost when moving houses at the time.
Wonder how they got Phantasie II to work?
Emulation of the Apple II version or a nearly 40 years-late DOS port?

I care. And since "-1 + 1 = 0": my opinion cancels yours out.
Excellent additions! I am especially happy to see Savage Warriors. I still have the game (big box version; the European release called simply Warriors). Lots of great games here.

Note: It seems like I uploaded the images of the covers of Warriors to Mobygames some 23 years ago! :)
