Freelancer !
I know there is an official wishlist, but I also want to introduce this game here, also because many people don't know it.
There aren't that many space-simulations out there, so I think if you are a fan of the genre you should at least download the demo/trial version.
You like Space-simulations like Freespace, Elite, Darkstar One, SpaceForce? Then you will love Freelancer! Explore the open and giant universe, pirate other players, police and traders, follow the storyline, fight against NPCs and in massive PvP-Fights in Multiplayer, trade goods for your wealthiness and experience the dynamic reputation system with over 30 Factions !
Greed, morality, compassion, anger... whatever motivates you, the dynamic universe will respond. Take the first step. The universe is waiting.
In Freelancer you decide by your own. Do you want to be the hero of the police? Or do you want to chill out and relax while you are trading? Or do you want the bad boy who attacks the navy, police & trader organisations? It is your choice !!

Original Freelancer works really well in 32bit Vista. I didn't even have to use any compatibility settings other than letting it have Admin rights. I have to say that game is one of the least buggy games I have had the pleasure of playing.
Posted April 21, 2009
There are so many games that i'd love to see here in GOG.
The Tex Murphy series, Outcast, just to name a few. GOG's team have lot's of work in their hands :P

@JudasIscariot: With Vista you will have problems to connect to a MP server if you have some specific anti-viruses installed.
You also might have issues with FLMM if you don't run it as Admin and/or compatibility mode.

I don't usually play MP with Freelancer so no biggie there.
What is FLMM?? Is that some sort of mod manager for Freelancer??
Posted April 21, 2009
Yep, FLMM = FreeLancer ModManager
And I give you the advice, try out the online gaming experience..it is awesome in this game =)
Posted April 22, 2009
I'd also like to beg GOG for Oni, Freelancer, Age of Empire 1 & 2, Civilization I & II, the Homeworld series, all those old Star Wars dark forces & Jedi Knight games, Syberia, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, and pretty much any old Lucasarts adventure games. Oh, and Baldur's Gate! :D
edit: add the Civilization Call to Power series to that as well!
edit again: Crusader series, the Myst series, the Master of Orion series, Master of Magic, the Ground Control series, and Elite.

Every game using the Infinity Engine belongs on GoG. I would buy all of the Baldur's Gate games, all of the Icewind dale games and DEFINITELY Planescape Torment. Even if they were all 9.99 a piece (though I'd much rather them be 4.99 *nudge nudge* *wink wink*).

i'd love to see anachronox (i loved that game). In regards to freelancer. I used to play that a ton. The SP mode is kinda short and boring (can be played in a weekend) after that it's pretty boring. But check out the mod scene and FLMM. IIRC i think microsoft shutdown the global server so you would have to connect by using the direct ip tool in the freespace folder.

you maybe lost it from your favorite threads.
there's no point in really having this thread other than being a noob catcher, thats why I made it. there already is a wishlist.

Silver would sure make me happy. I remember trying the demo, which was a satisfying experience. Later on I´ve heard that it works terrible on almost any pc made after windows XP came out.
