gamebin: Realms of The Haunting - GoG version is the UK edition and cannot have key-binding changes made, which can be corrected by the game to the US version. Also, it's missing a [url=http://www.gog.com/en/forum/realms_of_the_haunting/gog_should_replace_the_uk_version_with_the_us_version_of_the_game]few other minor tweaks. If GoG ever actually fixes this on their own, then I will move it to the above section.
This isn't entirely correct the GOG version is the original first release not the special edition that was released in both America(where the special edition tag was dropped) and the UK infact even in the UK the SE is easier to find on ebay etc...

also, everyone was complaining that Dungeon Keeper 2 is unplayable, broken. It would be a good idea to add that.

and... Rainbow Six is missing the Eagle Watch expansion

Normality is the original UK version with British voice actors as opposed to the re-dubbed US version. Of course, that's not missing content or anything like that, but it's something people might want to know before buying.

Let me get this straight: There are dubbed English versions of originally English voice acting? (Yes, I get the difference between BE and AE, but that still seems _very_ odd to me ...). Will they start re-dubbing games because one voice actor didn't use the local convention of pronouncing "tomato" next? ;)

Yes, that is correct. There are two different English-language versions of the game. I was very surprised to learn about this, too. However, I believe it's not about accents, but about the quality of the voice acting. Apparently the American publisher of Normality thought that the British voice acting was poorly done and not good enough for the American market, so they re-recorded everything. Some people like the American version better while others prefer the British original. In any case, it's something that might be worth mentioning since for some people the GOG version will be different from what they remember.

GOG is apparently using some kind of unofficial patch for King's Bounty:

http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/kings_bounty_gog_version_is_bugged/page1

Credit to Lexor, of course.

According to him, some quests could be impossible to finish, so avoid this version of King's Bounty at all costs and buy it elsewhere.

Small adjustment: "are" -> "could be"

King's Bounty is now using cracked exe (cracked not by GOG nor publisher just by some 3rd party group) - and according to official Russian forum of Katauri - such quests can be spotted in KB while using crack. I didn't confirm this yet, as I stopped playing after this crack, partially as I lost my saves - they are not compatible with this new cracked exe.

Darn, how come GOG is almost completely passive about all these issues? For many of us it these can be real game-breakers!

Ah, the list doesn't mention that Earth 2140 on GOG is a later Windows version. None of the game versions had multiplayer, but that one doesn't even have any AI. DOS build was challenging, while the Windows one doesn't do crap beyond sending one wave at the player's spawn point. There are a few threads in the game's forum about that.
