I hope so! ^_^

I'm going to go with Shovel Knight, although it doesn't personally interest me.

[url=http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4809:t5oiwo.2.1]Possibly not[/url]. Could be a sign of the rights having been sorted, or it could be a trademark troll to give a rights holder motivation to get in touch. The NOLF trademark was in the same status as Torment's, ie expired, so it could easily be either.

Unfortunately your URL is invalid or expired so not sure what we were supposed to see there:

All concrete information out there I've seen to date on NOLF including from GOG themselves is that the game is in legal hell. When there is concrete information that it is no longer the case I'll believe it, but until then it isn't going to happen likely. DItto with Blood Omen and many many other games sad to say. We can and should all be hopeful, but at the same time we have to acknowledge the status quo for what it is until solid evidence is publicized showing real promise rather than our wishful thinking. System Shock 2 got sorted out, so sometimes these things do resolve, but they seem to be the rare exceptions to the general rule of IP hell. :)

Night Dive has recently hinted about No One Lives Forever... come on people, there's a picture of a shovel!

If that ever happens then I have at least 2 DVDs in a binder somewhere around here I'll have to add to the frisbee stack if the games show up on GOG. :)

So - is it safe to assume no classic release until Summer Promo ends?

If 2013 is anything to go by, no classic releases for June.

Meh, USPTO and their antiquated system they haven't updated since 1996, I'll copy and paste it...

ie Night Dive have at least registered a trademark against NOLF. That would be a pretty much inevitable step towards release if they had secured the rights, but it isn't necessarily so, they may be fishing for someone to challenge it. The rights hell was just two companies both of whom denied they owned it, resolvable, if you could make it worth the companies' while to actually check.

I don't personally think a NOLF rerelease is imminent, but it is possible.

I love your logic :)
That would be sweet!

Could theoretically be for a potential NOLF 3 too. Yeah, I wont hold my breath but it's interesting to see a cage being rattled at least.

No matter how hard I try to twist it... the hint doesn't seem to apply to System Shock or Utopia - The Creation of a Nation... T_T
(The day will surely come when they arrive on GOG! ^_^ )

Maybe one of these games: or its sequel [url=http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/diggers_2_extractors]Diggers 2: Extractors?

ty for the info. ^_^

I was just thinking of a game using that sentence sometimes, if you know what I mean ;-)

It must be one of these:

- Hardware Store Tycoon
- Sid Meier's Shovelization
- Need For Spade
