tfishell: Are you coming back around despite the Gorky 17 incident? ;)

Faithful: Yes, however, I still check out the forum many times before purchase of any games here, and I never purchase unless there is a fairly deep sale.

Gorky 17 left a long-bad-taste. Still yet to be fix btw. :o)

Good memory, you must be part elephant! ()@() <-- sad attempt at an elephant with a curled trunk!
(I do tend to remember when people get pretty frustrated or angry with GOG, especially when compatibility issues are related. I guess because at one point I felt invested in GOG and the community, especially when sleuthing for info on game rights.)

Do we even know if GOG could have done anything to fix it? I believe it was only ever officially supported on XP and Vista, same with I'76 and a few other games.

Hey, maybe fans could encourage the publisher (Topware?) to let Night Dive or somebody create an HD remaster, if the source code isn't available for fixes of the current release. Hopefully it'd turn out good. :)

These days I think GOG is strained with releasing so many games and as a result they have less time to test and fix things, and are leaving more of that up to the devs and pubs rather than themselves. And the focus is more on "DRM-free" than "old games made to run on new machines". Personally I just don't have time or energy to play games and already have a big enough backlog. I do buy a copy of Pajama Sam Vol. 1 whenever it's at a decent discount though. ;)
Fewer than most people here, but honestly, more than I should have bought. :\
175,14 wishlisted
461, including multiple copies of some of the Fallout games and the like.

EDIT: 10 in my wishlist too.

I would imagine this pretty much speaks for everyone in here. :P
375 so far. Some of those were bundled when I bought them and later split up, like the Battle Isle games, but still.

It's downright shameful when I think of how many of these I've barely touched, which is most of them.
906, no movies & no games on wishlist.

514
521 and most of those I got this summer during the summer sale. I got a promotion in May, so I used up my fun stuff savings to celebrate.

When I search the library available without any filters, it shows they offer around 1500+ games.

Edit - I just checked, 1732 games available in the library. 521 is what my library says, but I'm not sure with all the bundle editions and such. I couldn't tell you as far as total with all my retail discs... I'm pretty old and have been collecting since I was very young. I pretty much kept almost every game I ever had, some I lost or got rid of and bought another disc later on. With my console and handheld games I'm sure it's an embarrasingly ridiculous amount that my wife would leave me over.

I would love to download all of my GoG library onto an external HD, just in case something ever happened and GoG shut down or I needed one in a pinch and didn't have internet access. It would be great for trips to Europe for example, I could just bring my laptop and external HD and have my entire GoG library with me! If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this without 1. taking the rest of my life and 2. driving me completely insane, I would be very grateful. The only way I can think of is to sit there and DL them one at a time onto the HD and keep track of where I am, which would again lead to the two circumstances above.

PookaMustard: Mwahahahahaha!

Seriously, to me, necromancy is bad when it's trying to revive a time-sensitive event, not when it's a harmless thread like this. For example, if a thread was necro'd about a terrorist attack in say, 2014 with the new post talking as if the event happened just yesterday, it would be a problem. But 'how many games do you own on GOG?' isn't that kind of thread that is relevant only in a certain time.
*sprays air freshner around *
yeah i just noticed this thing got necro'd twice now
