Hello,
I just wondered what the chance may be that we may get to see a fully functioning version of those lost in the Imperian Warhammer games such as Chaos Gate, Final Liberation, Dark Omen, Space Hulk and so on.

It may be a legal problem, maybe some of the yet existing developers are stingy with the license and copyright materials.
Nevertheless I just wanted to put this out there so to know if someone had any idea of whta the answer might be.

Currently THQ have exclusive rights to the 40k licence, and Games Workshop tends to not want to remind us about their past products, but instead wants us to only see the latest and the greatest. Dark Omen is the only one of the listed games that we might possibly see, as the WHFB licence has been with EA, but it looks like they lost it again. And I still doubt that GW would want to see that game re-released.

Actually, with the Warhammer license now belonging to Creative Assembly, it seems ike maybe those games would be less likely to show up in the near term since neither GW nor the current rights holder is on GOG right now.
