I sincerely hope these two classics get added here soon on GOG.

Here are the two wishlist entries:

Would be nice, though personally I never really liked DM much, it was more like an action-game than a real RPG. The best thing about DM imo is that it spawned many much better games like Eye of the Beholder and Ravenloft.

One of the few remaining truly great and classic CRPGs unreleased here (we've thankfully got Dark Sun, M&M, Ultima, GoldBox, Ishar, TES, ...)

It would be wonderful day for all fans of crpg classics.

Before they bring Dungeon Master, they should bring Bloodwych and its sequel first!

Isn't Black Crypt Amiga only game? That probably is the biggest obstacle for its release, as if there is not an alternative engine to run it or a version of it, it is unlikely we will ever see an emulated Amiga release.

I think Black Crypt was Amiga-only. GOG is more about PC games.

Yeah there are some exceptions like some Cinemaware games and Bard's Tale or whatever which was apparently based on an Apple GS version or something...

Bargaining in https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/dungeon_master_2 was definitely best! ;)

The original devs actually were going to port it to Windows, but they only released a demo and then abandoned it sadly.

Dungeon Master would be definitely a must to buy for me!

It is Amiga only but GOG have several Amiga games already. I think the biggest obstacle is Electronic Arts as publisher (possible IP rights) and Raven Software as developers (certain IP rights, subsidiary of rival Activision).

In 1992 to Windows (3.x)? Why not to DOS the most dominating OS for gaming in 90s?

No it was in the 2000's.

Ah yes, the OpenGL port for Windows. So the first two levels were released for download in 1998, and in 1997 the company was acquired by Activision. Probably that is one of the reasons PC gamers haven't received the game.

P.S. Amiga is also a PC so I don't know how to politically correct distinguish between the two platforms. IBM-PC gamers sounds even worse.

As far I know, the Amiga games here don't use any propriety software that belongs to the current Amiga owner. What it means, the devs have made their custom emulators or other solutions in order to make the game run. If there is no one that is willing to make the other solution, the only other option is to license the use of needed Amiga snippers, which are, as far I've understood, so expensive, that they would eat any potential profit.
