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.

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

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
