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!

taczillabr: nahhh... they're already on Steam and D2D.
A lot of them aren't, the most wanted among them, like Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, and Monkey Island 3. Only some.

Them being on Steam and D2D does shine light on them being open to re-release old titles. More so than EA.

And 2K titles you can get everywhere. (apart from their ealy titles).

So the only important to me is EA.
Still, if either of the others came to Gog, how would you feel?

open to re-release old titles in a DRM client and a store with regional restrictions (IIRC only selling the LA games to North America), yes.

Good, of course. Classic, past games are always welcome.

"ruining a famous landmark"

sounds like "Sam and Max Hit the Road" to me!!


must be Lucasarts. hah! still my first guess. :)
I just looked at that DrM twitter account, and that cockroach comment sounded a bit like a hint for future games.

it reminded me that Bad Mojo was released by Acclaim...

IF that map up there is to be trusted, there is NO WAY it could be square enix, because it is located in El Segundo. (where i left my wallet :)

El Segundo is way farther south than those blips on the map.

of course, maybe the map is no accurate. but i think they would have thought of that, wouldn't they?

DrIstvaan: I'm not dropping in for the hype (that just doesn't seem to affect me), only to show my appreciation for the pun-bardment in this issue.
Seriously, who came up with those shoe-based puns?
GOG's resident American wrote, more or less, the whole script. I think Cook and Galimatias added a bit, too.

I never thought that college scriptwriting class would ever come in handy, but looks like it did. :P

This is one of the few times I've ever been excited at the prospect of EA being a major component of things...

Just thinking of the Origins catalog, that's at least 25+ games there.
Ultima 1-7
Ultima Underworld 1-2
"Technically" Ultima 8
"Allegedly" Ultima 9
Wing Commander 1-4+Prophecy
Crusader:No Remorse/No Regret

most importantly System Shock 1 and 2, of course...

okay.. so thats only like 19.. but there's still the classic EA and Bullfrog games to fill the gaps.

How many foundational-RTS games could get added to the list.. 3 different Dunes, some algebraic-function of Command and Conquers...


but most importantly... System Shock 1 and 2, of course...
Posted June 01, 2011
Oh, man. And I just picked up my copies of Crusader: No Remorse and No Regret from my mom's. ;p

If it was EA's older catalog, I'd be ecstatic. I played the hell of of Wing Commander II and III and looked lustily at IV, only to never find a copy. Here's hoping.

Same would go for Lucasarts too. I'm easy to please!

Unfortunately System Shock 2 might be very hard to get on GOG due to legal hassle.

See this.
