SCPM: God of Thunder and Death Rally are also freeware. Death Rally is a better fit for GOG, but God of Thunder is a fun puzzle game in its own right.
tfishell: I'm still not sure GOG would accept GoT (I was turned off when I first saw it), but I did mention it when I emailed Adept. Death Rally actually has a remake on Steam - http://store.steampowered.com/app/108700/. I just tweeted Remedy about this, since they do have Alan Wake here. (Maybe they could do like Spelunky and provide the freeware too, since Apogee is onboard.)
SCPM: Now, the likes of SoftKey, Broderbund, Mindscape, and The Learning Company are a mess. You can read the story here:

This means, we'll need to knock on the doors of Gores Technology Group and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for many of their former titles. The rest ostensibly ended up with Ubisoft.
tfishell: "Mindscape is an international software publishing company, previously part of The Learning Company. They are now affiliated with Electronic Arts." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindscape_Group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Learning_Company

But ultimately I'm not sure what to think. :P

And it appears that Gores Group sold the entertainment division of The Learning Company to Ubisoft, so Ubisoft ought to have everything from Softkey, Broderbund, and possibly the older Mindscape titles:
