You can add [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], indie gold nugget, to your very own ‘Best of’ collection for only $9.99 with 8 wallpapers, full soundtrack (which costs $5 extra elsewhere), 8 avatars, 22 artworks, 114 design sketches, available today on GOG.com.

You may have thought Czech are famous only for pilsner, dumplings, Eva Herzigová and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/vampire_the_masquerade_redemption" target="_blank]Vampires roaming the streets of Prague[/url]. Now, thanks to a few brilliant people from Amanita Design, the Czech Republic is also known as the homeland of trippy point-and-clicks, giant robo-junkyards, and mechanical cities. In Machinarium, you find a small robot named Josef lying on a scrapheap, kicked out of the strange city of robots. You need to get back to the city to confront and defeat the Evil Black Cap Brotherhood that terrorized robot kind and took away Josef’s girlfriend. The goal of Machinarium is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers by clicking on objects that are within Josef’s reach. So, it’s a typical point-and-click, but in the same fashion as The Triplets Of Belleville is a typical animation.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url] is hands down one of the most beautiful games for PCs ever. Of course it’s a matter of taste, but the colored pencil drawings, eerie music, and the clever conversations that involve no dialogues but rather pictographs all combine to create an ethereal atmosphere like in Le Voyage dans la lune or Metropolis. Extraordinary amount of work has been put to detailing the world to perfection, allowing you to discover all the small and big things that make the story of the little robot so artistically unique, brilliantly crafted, imaginatively realised, and fascinating to play. Machinarium is like reading your favorite book in a strange fantastic language you find yourself comprehending after the first few lines.

There is no game quite like [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], and you should not be reading this right now. Instead you should be immersed in the imaginative and memorable robo-world for $9.99 only, available now on GOG.com.

TheEnigmaticT: Let me assure you: we are releasing two classic games--both from before 2006--next week.
Well, Darwinia is a 2005 game...

TheEnigmaticT: Some of you guys are speculating about what this means for our release schedule and GOG.com in the future as a whole. Let me assure you: we are releasing two classic games--both from before 2006--next week.
Thanks for clearing up the confusion and speculation, much appreciated :)

Sorry to hear that. He isn't being stupid either, but then again unfriendlyiness and arrogance often go hand in hand.

Merchito: I don't understand why us, GOG customers who come here in search of classics good old games, are being bashed and insulted because we express our worries. GOG is the best place, if not the only one, to find classic old games tweaked in order to work on modern computers. And there are hundreds of other sites who sell new, indie or not, games. Our concern is genuine !
Just take a look at the front page, at the tab "new & coming"... How many classics is there ?
"It's stupid to complain after 3 days", can we read in many unfriendly comments... But can't they notice how the good old games are already overwhelmed ?

mobutu: You dont understand, what are you doing is exactly "bashing and insulting" gog for not releasing your precious whatever (old)game after 3 days on relaunching campaign. They said multiple times that they'll stick to classics but no, you come bitching here. This is more likely paranoia, not "concerns"
You have no vision, you cant see the whole picture, youre acting like a 3 years old. One can clearly see this.
Those are not "concernings" you promote here, and for sure they are not "genuine". Its exactly the attitude of a 3 years old and not of an intelligent and visionary adult.
Well, I might be a bit paranoid now and again, but I'm pretty sure I'm not hallucinating things when I see "Fresher. Newer" all over the new GOG website design, the sudden flooding of new games, the very obvious new naming conventions (It's GOG.com now, Good Old Games references have all been removed it seems).

You saying we shouldn't be concerned? We deserve to have an opinion, this isn't about being ungrateful or what-not, it's simply concern for a community and "project" that we really like and have something invested in. I don't know about anyone else but I'm not complaining, what games GOG can get on here are probably mostly in the hands of the companies, what they are willing to give license GOG to sell. It's just the shift in focus which concerns some here.

No need to be nasty.

Last time GOG release Anachronox, considering all the hype and anticipation by users.. i was actually surprised the thread only have 133 replies and lots of user put it on their wishlist or GOG gifting thread. Chill out and relax. It's too early to tell.

rampancy: And then on top of that, you accuse the people who've been calling people out on their unreasonable freaking out "brown nosers"? With all due respect, I can't see any rational reason to pile hate on GOG for something they're doing that we requested from them, and that they told us well in advance about for weeks.
You're the first person to make a valid and constructive counter comment.... the brown nosing comment was because just about all the previous comments were idiots flaming people that have a valid complaint.. I agree the Anachronox thing stunk, I was actually glad to have Desert Storm.

The complaints and criticisms may seem premature but it's better to get it out early and get it solved early.

I'm sorry but you should just shut up. If you can only be insulting stay away. Some of us have real concerns and are expressing them, so we can discuss it. (i can be insulting too and say something along the lines like: americans have proven before, they don't discuss they destroy, etc... but that would be insulting and generalising and therefore i won't ;))

That's what a forum is for. Just blind picking a side isn't really smart...and then insulting people who come to discuss something is just downright stupid...

Think there is to much testosterone flying about pumping people up in this thread now.

Yeah, I was a little concerned seeing another Indie release today, I have faith in GOG though and that has been backed up by EnigmaticT stating 2 classics are landing next week.

I still havnt finished Anachronox, Icewind Dale 1 & 2, Outcast and Giants as of yet so I have plenty to be getting on with at the moment. If I want to play Machinarium I can as I have it on Steam and in all fairness it is a modern classic and does sit right with GOG. They have released a game that is going to have a cult following in years to come.

I look forward to the old releases as much as everyone else does, these new releases will help refresh the community and help it grow. Indie gamers will come here to buy titles and also see all the classics they could have missed from years ago.

Think things need to chill a bit in this thread now. We have had a response from a GOG member of staff with reassurance. We have something to look forward to next week if like me love the classics.

You dont understand, read this post, it explains clearly: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/release_machinarium/post105

This is the direction that FANS WANTED FOR GOG. Newer games, expanding, without letting go of classics.
It was requested by Fans and all gog do now is listen to their fans.
And its perfectly normal to go this way, gog has a chance to change the gaming industry badly affected by corporates, drm and all that shit.
They HAVE to sell newer game, they have to exapand. Doing so they can get more quality classics. Many bitchers just dont understand this simple concept.

I also find it funny how they complain they dont get their old classic game and in the meantime they have a backlog of games waiting to be played. Only this backlog would take prolly 1 year just to play/finish them! But ignorance is a bliss for the simple minded.

What some trolls are doing is NOT constructive criticism. It's just bitching and acting like a baby who wants his toy NOW.
No thinking ahead, no seeing the whole picture.

gameon: This forum needs more mods. I dont even think there are any mods on right now anyway. People could probably get away with saying anything right now.
Yeah, they definately need mods here on the board. Things can get out of hand quick and it turns into a mud slinging match. Then when threads dont get cleaned up after a scrap and new members come along they see bitching in the community and just leave instead of posting and joining in.

I'm a forum Administrator on another site and would have stomped all over people doing stuff like this on the board, pretty sure the mod team would have been all over it by now also.
