Dr.M. has stolen our marketing plans, taken our game masters, absconded with our video trailers, and pilfered our contracts! Coala suggests that we should track down the evil Dr., but how in the world can we do that? We know that he has our "Get HUGE" formula, and we suspect that Dr. M. is going to the headquarters of our next publisher--and we know it's one of the five we've already mentioned in our CDP Days Conference this Spring. One of our clever developer guys pointed out that the only way that Dr. M. could have found GOG's secret headquarters (as opposed to our regular, non-secret one) would be to have put a tracking device somewhere. We've tracked Dr. M's tracker (ha! Take that, evil!) and we're plotting his location on a world map with each of our possible upcoming publishers' locations in them. Keep tuned for more updates as we triangulate on the signal and try to track down...the DASTARDLY DR. M.!


the mysterious Dr. M. made his appearance was way back in September, when we re-launched and moved the service out from the beta. Now, with the big announcement quickly approaching, it seems that Dr. M. has come out of the shadow once again. What's he up to this time? Find out more in the tale of great horror, entitled "Dr. M. & The Dastardly Doom". What horrors await? What grim future is coming to GOG.com?

We'll be posting the next pages of the comic in the next days so stay tuned to this news post as the story will reveal more info on Dr. M. and the secret briefcase!

reaver894: If you wanted rid of the french monk couldnt you just sack him or something???
Indeed, it'd make the story longer as we learn of him plotting revenge, joining Dr. M for a few episodes, and finally see the error of his ways as well as managing to convince the (in)famous doctor to join the GOG side.

Imagine the headlines:
"Dr.M finally on GoG!"
:D

SLP2000: The briefcase will be stolen by the guy with the glove. That's why the briefcase is so close to the doors.
I will post later what's going to happen next :D

Cook: I can't believe you guys still trust in EnigmaticT's clues, after all he's the "enigmatic" T ;)
Or maybe we're just messing with your brains, Mwuhahahahahahahahahaha
I'll take that as a yes :3...

I'm usually not one to "read the tea leaves" too much, but LucasArts seems like the most likely candidate.

The monk turning into a green tentacle shape in the third comic may be a red herring. The whole thing could be a red herring.

But there is a dialogue bit in the first panel that caught my eye. "Great galloping garfax." Now if that doesn't sound like something straight out of Dr. Fred Edison's mouth, nothing does.

Is it possible that an MM/DoTT pack will be the first LA release on the site?

It's possible. And I would sell your children to see it happen.

I will sell all of your children to see it happen. :)

Course really...all you have to do is release Day of the Tentacle. If my memory serves me correctly...they built Maniac Mansion into DoTT. You could play it on the one computer. I guess some people might like them separate though.

Taleroth: Then either you have a lacking imagination or it's Deus Ex or System Shock.

TheEnigmaticT: Oooo. Good call. Not quite that exciting.

sajber: Hurray! Can we have a small extra hint now? .. please? *puppy eyes*

TheEnigmaticT: That was your free extra hint. :P
I guessed it! We are getting Big Rigs Over the Road Racing, a true all-time classic and the best game ever made :)

Godwin's law, GOG version: as a game-guessing thread grows longer, the probability of someone mentioning Big Rigs approaches 1.

Very true, but mentioning it is close to irresistible it in threads full of speculation about future releases.

But I believe we'll see this one:

Truly one of the forgotten gems of PC gaming.
