It's been a while since a traditional point-and-click adventure game has been added to GoG. Is this a trend of what's going to follow?

Which ones from currently signed publishers do you suggest?

Trends are meant to be loathed and kicked by people with too much free time and not enough care.

The issue is largely that many more point n' clicks belong to companies who haven't signed on. Example, Lucas Arts. That's Monkey Island, Sam and Max, Grim Fandango, Loom, some Indiana Jones, Maniac Mansion, Full Throttle. One company with about a dozen games. Sam and Max are continued by Telltale Games, so they may have part ownership as well.

There's plenty more out there waiting to be brought here, it just takes time.

I don't see any reason why Telltale couldn't be here. They are "aging" fast enough and with "new" games coming out soon this would be a move they should consider.

Ah yes, I am hoping for Post Mortem. I'm not sure if Still Life 2 is considered old enough by the publisher yet.

Also we need Nordic Games(Owner of The Adventure Company) a lot of good adventure games on their catalogue and they are into DRM free with good amount of their games on DotEmu....
About Still Life 2 - yes it's not that old...but still it's a sequal...

It's been even longer while since a traditional turn-based strategy game has been added to GOG. Is this a trend of what's going to follow?
It would be nice if the rest of the Runaway series was released. Part 3 is still recent but part 2 is old enough it should be on GOG.

Vaguely remember playing a demo of Ripley's Believe It Or Not!: The Riddle Of Master Lu many years ago. It seemed okay, wouldn't mind seeing it here. With all the buy-outs of various companies, Square Enix now holds the rights as far as I can tell.

Let's hope that Mystery of the Mummy does not get a release any time soon. That game is horrible. The other Sherlock Holmes games by frogware are great though (The Awakened, Nemesis & vs. Jack the Ripper)

Retails of Still Life 2 are within the "GOG price range" (in Germany Amazon sells it for around 3€). But GG is selling it for 20€, so I guess there is simply no room legally to make a new deal for less than half of that on GOG.

It would certainly not be the "newest" game on GOG. And I rather have this than some medicore "new game".

They self-publish their own games. They have no need to be here. :(

We actually [url=http://www.gog.com/en/catalogue#all_genres/publisher/Nordic Games/]already have Nordic[/url], so there may be hope for these games. :)
Yes many games of The Adventure Company and Microids are very good. Telitale is not my style but still.

But I've never heard of their obscure homepage. How should I be able to find it. Tellwho? ;-P

Na, in all seriousness, I think it would increase their customer base. I guess everybody who wants the new S&M adventure games (yes, that was on purpose) already bought them there or on Steam. So GOG would be a golden opportunity for them to increase their potential customer base without fearing lost "first hand sales".
