jsdratm: For those complaining about the price, the whole series is $20 on Steam so it shouldn't be a surprise.

It's 9,99€ in Europe. didn't know the US price was higher (normally we Europeans get ripped off and you Americans get the better prices). GOG price makes sense now.

This is to expensive any way you look at it. I love the GOG service but the whole set should have been for 9.99$ and these three then for 5.99$. I'd like to point to the Might and Magic 6-Pack as case in point.
Because it's 19.99$ on other sites doesn't make this any better. It is totally unrealistic pricing there as well.

Well as far as I remember the starting price was higher than 10€ but nowadays you can find them in bargainbins for few €

I dunno, these three games are really, *really* good. Automatically some of the best stuff on GOG.
And if they release these three for $10 and the first three for $7, it'll be cheaper than all other DD services.
Not to mention that the other DD services are using that semi-broken crappy collection ISO and you have to screw around with them before they'll work with a decent version of DOSBox.

But the Steam-version is 9.99€.

Slow down guys... Probably GOG will release episodes 1-2-3 free of charge... That's my belief...
We must keep the faith in GOG's team...

hmmm like other said on steam i can get all 6 of them for 10€. I like GOG better though so i'll put them on my wishlist and see what happens with the first 3.

Wish-listing this baby. Already bought the entire series on steam for 5 bucks a while ago.
Phantasmagoria though... Instabuy.

red484: WTF? you can get the cd-rom space quest collection containing games 1-6 for $10 all over the place.

Although I happy to see them released here, I too feel that 10 bucks for just 4-6 is a little high. I purchased 1-6 in the Space Quest Collection (2006) DRM free CD release (they used DosBox as well) of these for 7 to 8 bucks. I'm wondering if the delay in 1-3 has anything to do acquiring some early "talkie" versions. If I remember correctly there were talkie versions of some earlier versions released later.

Huh, I just realized that all Quest games on Steam are not available in Australia. Bastards.

I'm all over this one too. I love hunting pixels to Roberta William's narration.

I think the only one that was remade was SQ1 despite 3 being the best adventure game ever. (Except for the conveyor belt part. which took me ages to come up with the right wording and type it fast enough.) I don't know why, but I never really liked the vga version of SQ1. It felt like it was missing something.

I also bought the Space Quest Collection off Steam during the Holiday sale for $5 and they run just fine on Windows 7 64-bit
so 4-6 for $10 on GOG seems very odd
though 1-6 do retail for $19.99 so I guess that's why, we'll probably get 1-3 later on for another $10

Woohooo! I love Space Quest. Great addition.
