GOG, you are true heroes in this DRM-dominated world.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Master of Magic is a dream release for me. Thank you!

taczillabr: Well, I'm not the best person to talk about bioware, as I said "but I may be wrong about this".
Maybe atari has the rights to the base games and a few expansions... but what about the rights over the premium modules and remaining expansions, which cutterjohn was referring to?
I can't answer this, but like him I would like to have those modules well packaged here.

Well if you follow those links from the Bioware site the first product on Amazon is NWN Diamond edition.

kalirion: How many of the people who are pining for Outcast have actually played it to the end? From everything I've read it starts out well, but soon degenerates into a nightmare of fetch quests.

Twice.
Definitely on my top 10 games of all time list.

Outcast is masterpiece. From the beginning to the end.
Posted March 26, 2010
Ok, then I guess the reviews I read didn't know what they were talking about :)
Anyway, with my backlog of games, for me the only Atari "instant buy" I can think of is Shadow Warrior...

For those interested, EDGE Online did a feature retrospective on Outcast just a couple of months ago:

Funny how they never rated it when it was first released. EDGE are like that.

In my opinion Outcast was a super ugly game when it was released (I remember my feelings back then), and it is a super ugly old game now.

Funny of you to say that, I always loved it's visuals, even though they may never have been top stuff.

JubalHarshaw: I hope you manage to make master of orion 3 work on seven, vista and xp. But be aware, it seems to work, but when you play it for real, a lot of nasty bugs appears, mainly in the planet tab (where you administrate the planet, build starships and upgrade the facilities, etc) that some of the windows take a lot of time to appear or just not appear. And the worst of them, in the planet list, when you have so many planets there, it just crashes the game to the desktop with a DirectX error.
Even the last version released by gamersgate have these bugs on the three OSs I listed above.

The Directx surface error for Moo3 isn't a windows 7 problem. It's been an issue from it's inception dating back to '03. I've got it running on windows 7 without any issues, but the error will rear it's ugly head depending on your configuration. Also, I'd only recomend bringing Moo3 to Gog if there is a sticky in the forums her that PROMINENTLY links to the "Tropical Mod" over at Atari's forums, or possible mirror the mod over here. Moo3 just isn't worth playing without the last 7 years of fan modifications. The "Tropical Mod" is the best of the overhaul mods.

lukaszthegreat: Master of Orion 2
who is up for a game when it is released!!?

Definitely! Hope they release the DOS version though. It'll be easier for GoG to get this one running on all systems and it has much better multilayer support from the un-official patches that are out.
avatar
EBM: Master of Orion 2 does have multiplayer, up to eight players.
Looking forward to seeing the Atari catalog expanding over time. Lots of great games in their vault.

PincushionMan: If I recall correctly (and I might not anymore), the multiplayer in MoO2 was over IPX and not by IP, which seemed to have numerous problems when I last tried it in XP. Plus, if your partner starts crafting warships, turns can take a looong time. So yeah, it works, kinda.

Multi-player works with the DOS version using the un-offical 1.40 patch from http://masteroforion2.blogspot.com/
Never tried it though.

As long as Driver is in the mix, I'm excited already.

Sorry but Ubisoft owns the Drivers rights and IP, see here: http://www.ubi.com/UK/News/Info.aspx?nId=4019
