Wychodzew: And it's in german too! THANK YOU GOG!
You're not going to play it in German, are you? It's censored and looses much of the atmosphere.
I wish somebody send me this game as a gift for Valentine's Day :/
Nice one GOG, now we need also the first one.

Wishlisted for now (must work through my backlog a bit first)

serpantino: I'd be interested to know a bit about how GOG finally managed to get this on here. Not too interested in the game itself but I'd love to know a bit of how GOG wrangled this one out of rights limbo.

Elbart: Indeed. An article from RPS or Ars about this would be highly appreciated.

Am I the only undercultured peon here who is still wondering what's with System Shock 1?

Paradoks: Great. You just had to release this at the beginning of Lent. Couldn't this wait another 40 days? ;-)

keeveek: You can wait 40 days...
Don't worry, I will. :-)
I just wanted to say congratulations and big thanks to GOG, to Night Dive, to everyone in this community! This is without doubt one of, or maybe even the mightiest release GOG has had to date. And indeed one of the very, very best games I have ever played, and one that still stands tall and proud as a pinacle of the PC platform, and indeed remains one of the greatest games of all time.

Hail Zeus, for Hercules has been reborn as lawyers, who works for Night Dive and GOG! For this is truly an Herculian feat indeed! ;-)
Maybe just me, but the buy button on the home page doesn't work. Buying from the game card, not a problem though.

PaterAlf: This is the mother of all instabuys! And best thing: with this game finally here, it feels like everything could happen.

After all, it's all what lent is about :P
This was the reason why I have been hanging around GOG. When I discovered them in PC Gamer I liked the whole idea behind this site. I can FINALLY play this game without all the bugs and crashes, even the Windows 2000 fix doesn't fix everything. I love all the included extras and for $10...it's one of the best game you can buy here.
