Chasmancer: Myself, while I immediately bought Fallout 3 and New Vegas, I stand to lose on opportunity to buy the original Fallout trilogy, but I won't buy censored and goodie-less versions with Bethesda logo slapped on as their only upside when better ones were available here some time ago.
I can't say about original Fallout trilogy but as far as I know both Fallout 1 & 2 classic from Interplay are censored (e.g. no kids in town), so the only major difference is Fallout Bible and some other stuff in goodies. I always play Fallout 1 with FixIt community patch with a bit of *restored* content (not much). Also I don't recall seeing Bethesda logo on their re-released Fallout games, maybe I was not paying attention.
Chasmancer: Doesn't look all that reputable to me - yet, but I suppose if they provide an offline installer I can just buy and backup it and that would be that. Thanks for the tip.
There are indeed some legal issues, original Duke Nukem games were developed by Apogee/3D Realms and 3rd party games were produced by them as well but the IP rights to Duke Nukem franchise were sold to Gearbox in order to get away from 2K suing the company for delaying Duke Nukem Forever, that was their biggest mistake (the second biggest was helping with selling Gathering of Developers to Take Two / 2K). So now Gearbox owns the rights but they don't own the rights for the *game code* IP and to release the original Duke Nukem games they need a permission from Apogee, and they are not on good terms with them after 2 lawsuits between the two. [Not everything I wrote here is 100% proven information]
Zoom-Platform creator and manager did the impossible, he FORCED them to abide the law and fulfill the contract, original games Duke Nukem 1-2-3D and Manhattan Project are available for digital download under the Gearbox as publisher. The offline installers are DRM-free and easy to use the same way as GOG. Duke Nukem 3D packed wirh DOSBox-X for some reason but most nostalgia gamers play it under eDuke32 or BuildGDX most of the times.
Since 3D Realms and Gearbox are now part of Embracer Group family there is a hope that we might see original games re-released on GOG one day, along with Duke Nukem 4 XS.
frogthroat: It is fun and I even enjoy Malcolm's Revenge -- that's why I bought the trilogy, not just Hand of Fate. But I was talking about those who may not be as much into point and clicks as I am and for those the first one may not be as fun as the second. If you are super into point and clicks, get the whole trilogy. If you enjoy adventure games but are not the type of guy who immediately throws the contents of your wallet at your screen when Ron Gilbert tweets, better to start with the second one and see how it goes.
(Disclamer: Ron Gilbert has nothing to do with the Kyrandia trilogy. Just used as an example.)
I see, I'm not into point'n'click adventure games myself, FPS is my jam, I respect adventure games mind you. But sometimes I just can't miss the joy of playing some of them for various reasons. I still have great memories about great joy playing and completing Sanitarium, Beneath a Steel Sky, Full Throttle, Loom (EGA & VGA), Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards and of course The Legend of Kyrandia. Kyrandia games were my favorite until Malcom's Revenge, I can't stand it, they ruined one of the most interesting and intriguing character on so many levels, and you can't even play evil if you choose to play evil, preposterous!
