Something I noticed today while browsing. The process of wishlisting games is lightning fast!. You can do it from the gamepage or from the overall "catalog" page that displays all the games. However, I will say that All Catalog page is a little wonky...search doesn't always seem to function for me, and I could swear some games aren't listed without refreshing or going into subgenre categories. I blame this issue on one of those "infinite scroll" (is that the term?) designs that web developers love so much. That doesn't really take away anything about the site for me of course. Eyeing up various tempting releases including sequels/prequels I would have considered buying on GOG pre-boycott.

Does anyone know if there's a downloader for ZP's contents like gogrepo for GOG?

There's improvements to the game page and search currently in progress.

Cool. I'm sure they are already aware of the "/any/any/any/any/any" thing that seems to repeat, haha. Man, the more I browse, the more stuff looks good there. I also feel it may be worth rebuying a couple favorite releases even though I own them on GOG, as with how everything is "Galaxified" here, I trust the Zoom-Platform installers more in the long term...less bloat and chance of things going wrong, it would seem to me.

I'm tempted to rebuy Duke 3D from them as its the only place that i've seen the addons (NW, Carrib, etc) DRM free. GOG Duke doesn't have them (and never did) and Steam Duke only had them in Megatron.

Also Zoom has Penthouse, which no where had.

Postal III also has my attention there, as i've never seen that avaliable anywhere DRM free.

The Developers of Postal III have openly requested that people don't buy the game, they event ret conned it out of continuity, Running with Scissors even removed the game from there own online store.

Isn't that because they hated the game though?

True, they are not proud of the game, they also had a falling out with the Publisher of the game as well claiming they were promised things that the publisher never delivered on.

The game reviewed quite poorly as well and deviates from previous games (going 3rd person and being more linear)

I own it on Steam already and didn't hate it though didn't love it either.

Thats between Publisher and Developer. I don't know the ins and out of what went on but if Zoom offers a DRM free version of the game that was previously DRM only then i'm prob going to get it seeing as I doubt GOG will anytime soon (also I find myself buying less from GOG recently.)

This was true, but RWS are fine and even joke with us for Postal 3's release. Again, I don't know how much I can say without being banned at this point but hopefully this was limited enough but gives an insight!

I've just brought it from Zoom. (First purchase from Zoom!). Downloading now then i'll do the usual install, create a custom install and burn it.

Many thanks for Zoom for getting Postal III DRM free. (You missed out GOG.)

This is the way the search works, each "any" is one of the search parameters. This means you could send a link to a search that is all 1c entertainment games that are racing games, as the url would contain those values.

Not quite right, the developers of Postal III isnt RWS. RWS have said what you stated, not the Russian developers of Postal III.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense now that you explained it. I guess that isn't an issue then! As for Postal III, I can understand RWS not being proud of it but I don't see why that should stop us from buying it. It's wonderful that there is a DRM-free version there. Oh and if you're reading this RWS, I am one of the ones who bought Postal 4 here on GOG.com basically as soon as I could even though I otherwise generally prefer not to buy games in development :)

Fully working version of ZOOM Checker v1.6 has been uploaded.

I've completed the few outstanding bits and pieces, so it is all working now.

DOWNLOAD - https://github.com/Twombs/ZOOM-Checker/releases/tag/v1.6

INFO - https://github.com/Twombs/ZOOM-Checker

This new version has full automation and many nice new features. A very different program to prior versions, though some benefits carried over.

Enjoy!
