I rarely shop on Steam any more because it has become so saturated in shovel ware I can rarely find much that interests me. I don't want to see the same happen to GOG. I <3 the idea and have shown that <3 through my support over the years. I understand the need and/or desire to deal in non-classic games but checking the sale lists today there were more games there that I wouldn't associate with "Good Old Games" than there were games that did meet the definition.

I propose a filter so we can truly find the content that interests us. The categories are a good start but maybe add a few filters like decades (only show games from year xxxx to xxxx), or sort by launch date.

I just don't want to lose one of my favorite shops!

From what I read the number of classic releases hasn't actually gone down, it's just the number of non-classic ones has gone up so the core is still there, it's just getting drowned out a bit.

Filters make sense though.

'Good Old Games' is gone though, time to let it go ;)

Some Good Old Games can't come to GOG because of reasons.

I'm indifferent weather a game is old or new here, the draw to me is that gog doesn't sell broken games that I'm supposed to figure out how to make them run on a modern system.
Unlike Steam.

Use MaGOG

There's a filter there called release date and then choose something like not later than 2004 or whatever you want. There's also a price with a parameter called currently on discount if you want that as well.

Like this :P

Personally I'm all for having newer/indie games on here that never had disc releases. If I'm going to buy some old game in a digital edition, it had better either be one that's hard to find actual discs of, or have something extra added to the re-release (Something actually special, like the Strife Veteran Edition, not just "DOSBoxed for dummies").

That might be possible indeed, but if these reasons are known, maybe GoG can tell us which games cant come, this way we can stop hoping for certain games to arrive one day.

I am waiting for Chronicles of Zerzura which seems to be made by the devs of black mirror 2 and 3, so that should be possible i guess.

the secretfiles collection (4 games) , lost horizon 1 and 2, Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual and Chronicles of Mystery The Tree of Life, Art of Murder - Cards of Destiny , Art of Murder - Hunt for the Puppeteer and Art of Murder - FBI Confidential (this game is only low resolution on gamersgate, but i would like to have the highresolution)

All these games are already DRM free, the secretfiles and LH1+2 are steam drm'ed or sometime seecurom/tages aswell.

I don't care that most of these game have low or bad reviews, i like the games, and i dont care about reviews.

I have most drm already on gamersgate but GG is very slow, slow downloads, ofline a lot, so its generally not a site that is up 99% of the time, it seems understaffed, has too many manual reviews, thats why i hope these games may arrive here at gog, gog is better , faster and stronger (sounds almost like the bionic man) we get faster response, downtimes are fixed much faster, questions are answered much faster, support is supreme to all the other sites so thats why i would love to have all the games here cause the other 'commercial' sites are so slow, but GG is the king of slowness and downtime.

You should take a look at the Internet Archive, many of them you can play from the safety of your own modern Web browser. Actually, these days, Steam *is not* DRM, it's a means to an end, a way to get your digital download, just as GOG Galaxy is to get your purchases here.

...and if you're in the market for VR content, you're in for two worlds now, SteamVR, and Oculus Home. However, some VR games have made their way onto GOG. Choose wisely.

steam has too many win2k and older games, i noticed that aswell, but gamersgate ahs a whole bunch of old games, the sad thing is most games arent avaialble anywhere else, and these are drm free, some need a securom but most old games are drm free, thats why its so said there are so many win98 games, 75% wont work, so basically they should not be offering them,

A for steam, the only 'good' thing about steam ( one thing only) is that almost every point and click game seems to be available , especially the latest releases, like nelly cootalot fowl fleet...
plus they take risks that games wont be sold , i have seen hundredsa of games that have a negative rating and not because of crashes, the weird thing is: these were greenlighted.

So basically the steam users vote for a game, sometimes nag for games , but latron steam is filled with negative and lots of mixed reviews and thats weird cause that should not be possible because 'the people' choose the games .

Anyway, its also good that 'underdog' games are avaialble, i was able to get me some nice casual games, that dont seem to sell much , but they offer it anyway, and that is a plus.

Bermuda Syndrome (old platformer) is a good game, i got it at releas on retail cd.
16bit so it's a no go on 64bit machines, but, using the filemanager thing from win 3.11 or something you can tinker with it and make it work since the pc is fast enough it will run the filemanager and the game under it, but i rather have the game fixed and be on GoG cause i dont want to think how i can make old games work, i want to play them.

GOG hasn't stood for Good Old Games since 2012.

I think they still stand for Good Old Games, upon request --many people have requested games they've made available and on many platforms. However, as a thriving business, they are closely related to a company making AAA titles and earning as a re-seller for many new and upcoming games.

Again, you always have The Internet Archive at your disposal --I recommend using the Chrome browser though, they have WebGL support and the games run much better there.

edit: "Good Old" is kind of subjective term. What might be "old" to some of us is considered 'ancient' to the next generation. ;)

Don't forget NOLF series

Don't really want to start this discussion again, but I would like to clarify your "steam is not DRM" comment. You are correct in that there are games available via the steam store which do not contain the CEG DRM component. People like to glorify this as Drm free which it is to a.certain extent. You do however still have to use the client to squire them (note from jmich states there is an open source alternative, but I haven't tried it). To me a client is an unnecessary mechanism for data capture and advertising, and sits on the right hand of the beast in the triumvirate of digital evil (and that includes galaxy which only saving grace is its optionality). So there are games you can quite from steam, which can be run without any further connection to it, however it's a relatively small number of thier stock, and the vast majority use at least CEG, and a few require other accounts such as Origin. So lets not start to promote steam as a DRM free store, they very much are not.
