Who knows! But if you'd like to see if other people would also like to see it here, please use the wishlist: http://www.gog.com/en/wanted/
From the FAQ:
Will you be adding *insert game/publisher here* to the GOG library?
GOG does not release specific information on prospective games or publishers until they already have agreements in place. They will not comment on who or what they are trying to get, only what they do have. Check the site's main page for news on what is coming soon, it gets updated every Thursday.

I didn't ask if they are going to release it. I asked if there is any chance of them releasing it.
HUGE difference.

No one can really tell and GOG staff does not disclose any information about ongoing negotiations. Likelyhood depends on developer, publisher, wether one or both still exist and who owns the rights to the game.

Stars would be a great game to see here and hopefully one day it will happen. Imperium Galactica II would be great as well.
Alas, Empire Interactive went bust and it seems Zoo Games has the IPs. It depends on if the current deal with Strategy First applies to Empire's back catalogue or if a deal with Zoo is required.
Don't hold your breath.

ZERO difference. GOG will not comment on anything, including the chances of any particular game, unless they have already got a confirmed agreement in place.

Yes I know, that was the whole point of my question. If anyone knew that EI games were no touch or something.

Thank you. I was afraid of this (the bad chance).

Stop being an ass. It is huge difference and let your ego aside. As DelusionBeta commented, the question could be answered without your attitude.

The only ego and attitude I see here is yours. You asked a question, the same question that has been asked hundreds of times before by dozens of other members about an uncountable number of games and publishers. The answer is now and has always been the same. What makes your question so much more special than those ones that it deserves anything more than those hundreds of other questions got? The fact that you were too lazy to Google it yourself? Sure, there might be little details about who currently hold the rights to particular IPs, but that doesn't actually change anything. The chances of seeing any game or publisher show up on GOG are absolutely indeterminate and the only ones who can give us any concrete info on that are the GOG staff. They won't give out that info prematurely at all. The best you might get is a statement like "We would love to have that here", but no more. So if you want to be the ass that lets his ego get in the way of seeing that, that's your attitude problem, not mine.

It''s absolutely your attitude that is the problem here. If you are so pissed off with people asking questions you could have just ignored my question. Instead you wanted to feel good about yourself, bringing your patronising tone and answer to this thread and never actually giving the answer to the question I asked.
Seriously, get a life.
DelusionsBeta gave a clear answer to the question I asked, and even the other replies were not full of themselves as you are.. If you don't like a thread, don't post in it. Not that tough, is it?

I think you need to relax, drink some ice tea. Did he insulted you? He just answered in the same tone, and because you don't liked the reply, now you are insulting people?
This is civilized community, and I hope it continues that way.

Check my question and his first reply. He directed me to the FAQ!!! Are you kidding me? He didn't even answer. The rest of my reply is my previous post, no reason to type the same thing again.
He only directed you to that FAQ because he wrote it. Why are you all getting so worked up about it? The simply answer is that no one* really knows if the games ever will turn up on GOG until the point that they turn up on GOG.
*Excluding GOG staffers who cannot tell you if a game is coming to GOG until such a point that it appears as a new release or on the coming soon(ish) section of the site. They can't tell you with any certainty as anything at any time to could cause the game to be pulled before it even gets to a point that it's released.
So all you can do is list it on wanted wishlist and hope that one day, it makes it here.
Personally, though, I still have my CD of the game (it actually even works under XP still) but I find that Space Empire IV provides a far better playing experience.

Because treating me like an idiot is not something I enjoy. You (he) think that I haven't read the FAQ after being a member here? No matter what though, the FAQ does not answer my original question. Why is this so hard to understand for some of you? I know that GOG will not release info on specific games. What I asked is if anyone heard anything about this specific game that could make it impossible or very pausible for it to be released through GOG. One of you actually answered the question, so I know it wasn't that horribly written or completely stupid for a question.
If cogath knew about the specific game or publisher, he could have said something. Pointing me the faq, does nothing but play smart with me. If he didn't know or didn't feel like answering or even didn't fully understand my question, no one forced him to reply with an irrelevant answer and patronizing attitude to read the FAQ!!!
As for the game, I know I still have it somewhere, together with at least one of the stickers with the key on them, but no idea where it might be. Or at least, I hope I still have it and it hasn't gone missing over the years.
You say you have it, while you probably only tried it under XP that you have, do you happen to know if it works under Vista 64? If it is a 16bit executable the chances are not good at all.
