I just got a $100 Visa gift card and intend to spend it all on GoG. I have plenty of things on my wishlist to fill it up, but I don't want to miss any gems here on GoG that I may have otherwise overlooked.

What I own already:
Arcanum
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate 2
Beyond Good & Evil
One Whole Unit Blood
Blood II
Fallout
Fallout II
Fallout Tactics
Icewind Dale
Icewind Dale II
King's Quest 4+5+6
King's Quest 7+8
Neverwinter Nights
Postal
Postal 2
Planescape: Torment
Psychonauts
Rise of the Triad
And a few free games from GOG.

Wishlist:
Amerzone
Another World
Duke Nukem 3D
Duke Nukem Manhattan Project
Feeble Files
King's Bounty
King's Quest 1+2+3 (I have the AGD remakes)
MDK
MDK2
Phantasmagoria
Phantasmagoria 2
Police Quest 1+2+3+4
Police Quest: Swat 1+2
Rayman Forever
Redneck Rampage
Return to Zork
Sacrifice
Sanitarium
Simon The Sorcerer
Simon The Sorcerer 2
Simon The Sorcerer 3D
Space Quest 1+2+3
Space Quest 4+5+6
Temple of Elemental Evil
Vampire: The Masquerade
Waxworks
Zork Anthology

There are a few things on GoG that I own elsewhere (Steam/Disc):
Myst Series
Serious Sam Series
Arx Fatalis
Syberia Series
Enclave
Evil Genius
Far Cry
Oddworld Series
Painkiller Series
Prince of Persia
Unreal Series

I'm on a huge RPG kick at the moment, so if there are any MUST OWN RPGs on GoG that I don't own, please let me know. Also love adventure games (Myst is one of my favorite series). As you can see, I plan to eventually own most of the Sierra Online back catalogue.

Appreciate it.


EDIT: Added Planescape: Torment to my owned list...

If you like RPGs, then the game already on your wishlist that you should buy is Temple of Elemental Evil.
It's imo the RPG with the most tactical turn-based combat, if you care about that.
It's also the one with the most faithful rendering of D&D 3.5 rules.
Just be sure to install the Co8 modpack if you buy it, it adds a lot to the game.

Otherwise, still on your wishilist, King's Bounty is a very good game (you might wish to wait for one of the recurrent sales and/or get the pack).

As for RPGs not on your wishlist, Planescape: Torment, is probably your best bet.

Sorry for the mixup, but I own Planescape: Torment. I fixed the list.
I'll check out the RPGs you listed. No one likes Gothic or the Might and Magic series? I expected someone to mention those. Guess not. It appears I have some of the best RPGs on GoG already? :)

To the person concerned by my gift card: the card I'm using is not limited to the USA.

Both Gothic 2 and the M&M games (after 4, I can't bring myself to play the older ones) are very good games, I was just basing my advice off your wishlist. You seemed to have all the other D&D games, hence ToEE rather others.
Still if you like RPGs, you can't really go wrong with any of the ones on GOG, except Septerra Core which is more of a jRPG.

You appear to be missing The Longest Journey, which is a very well respected adventure game. To suggest something a little bit different (well you like adventure games so presumably you maybe you enjoy the puzzles) I might suggest The Incredible Machine mega pack.

A holiday, a day at the spar (I'm not sure what that entails, but I'd heard it's a relaxing thing). Maybe start with a massage.

Failing that Sacrifice, if you want mould of RPG with RTS, with wierdness, good plot, and a good game. Then that.

Not sure that your Visa Gift card will work Mister. Not trying to be mean or stop you from buying some GoG stuff, but I had serious trouble with my 25 Dollar One.
