LucasArts game I luckily don´t need, since I have a cd version of most of them and they run with Scumm so no problems with playing them^^

I already own just about every game here but I'd buy them again on GOG for diskless, drm free convenience so I can play them on my netbook.

It would be so sweet to get a decent collection of SSI gold box games.

Backlog is bug enough, so there is really no need to hurry for me ;-) Only exception would maybe a Civilization 2 working with all wonder videos and advisors without the need to install special video player software (can't remember, but I believe it was quicktime).

I mentioned Imperialism in my post. (And I imagine that after GOG had its awesome D&D sale a few months ago most people who would want the classic D&D games already have them)

tomimt: It would be so sweet to get a decent collection of SSI gold box games.
If GOG was able to finagle an old-school SSI collection in one handy installer for $5.99 like AD&D Masterpiece Collection or the Forgotten Realsm Archives (of which there were multiple compilation volumes released in the 90s), that'd be pretty awesome, for the childhood nostalgia if nothing else.

As far as other insta-buys, I'd say American McGee's Alice and Privateer 2. I already own physical disc copies of things like Thief and System Shock 2 so they aren't essential. I actually wouldn't mind buying Diablo 1/Hellfire again, but it'd probably be a cold day in hell before Blizzard allows such a backlog atrocity to occur; or about the same chance as the old Star Trek games getting digital distribution I'd reckon.

orcishgamer: Legacy of Kain stuff
This.

I've never played the original 'Blood Omen', and I've only got 'Soul Reaver' on the Dreamcast. It'd be nice to have a PC version of those games.

I think they usually were quicktime at that point in time. Although I've had trouble with older games demanding indeo. Indeo isn't available any longer without paying and the company that owns the license doesn't provide a trial period or grant refunds if it doesn't work.

Have you actually played it? I remember picking it up in Best Buy for $20 (still have the CD actually), and feeling a "meh" throughout the playthrough. Some powers like the possession one were fun, but overall the game was just dull, I felt.

I mostly use GOG as a place to discover cheap games I missed the first time around. I don't really do insta-buys.

That said, if Majesty or the Elder Scrolls games showed up here I would definitely buy them.

I am shocked that nobody have said Hoover. Man that game was awesome
