s23021536: wow ok I completely missed its release on gog, or simply forgot about it :P

Wishbone: Given that I bought it here in 2009, it's been here longer than you have ;-)

groze: This has already been said over and over, but they share a lot of things in common. They are all great games within their genres (or, in some cases, their non-genres), and even though I personally don't enjoy them all, I can't say I don't respect or praise the ones that are not my type of game (namely Anachronox, which I have here on GOG, and which I love overall, but has turn-based combat, which is a big no-no in my book). They all failed miserably, sales-wise, despite critical acclaim and reception, but they've been experiencing a rebirth of sorts in recent times, fortunately, thanks to places like GOG and the fact we're now in a digital age and they are easier to distribute to the market. They are all the results of visions of highly creative people, products of a time during which developers were allowed to be more creative and develop projects true to their ideas -- this, of course, leaves fans desperately asking for sequels, because that's what gamers do when they like something; personally, I think direct sequels are not the way to go, those games are wonderful standalone works of art and entertainment, and I'm glad they didn't get washed-out sequels.

A game that I think you should add to your list is Outcast. On a personal level, I found it to be a bit on the boring side, especially because I had hyped it so much after all the GOG community had said to me about it, but its groundbreaking nature is undeniable, and it's a good piece of gaming if you're interested in what gaming could have been if voxel technology hadn't been abandoned. It was also doing lots of things now standard in games, years before other titles would start doing them.

Wishbone: I did hear something about GOG doing something to fix it a while ago, so it may be better now, but I haven't checked, so your mileage may vary.

s23021536: I think the reason I didn't add Outcast is because it feels like something completely apart (or on a different level) from anything else I can think of in gaming. Its one of the few games out there that I like to describe as having a 'true cinematic experience' and I'm not even sure I know what I mean by that. Of the top of my head there are two other games I can think of that are like that : Wing Commander IV : Price of Freedom, and Blade Runner (the game I keep pestering everyone to play :P )
Also, Outcast deserves a sequel! :) but I'll contend with a remake at this stage.

By the way, you leave me with the awful impression that you are yet to play the first two Fallout games? Say it isn't so! :)

groze: It most definitely isn't so! I played them both back when I was younger, in order. I love them both, it's one of the few exceptions I'm willing to make, as to turn-based (combat) games/RPGs. Oddly enough, I like Fallout 2 a bit more than the first one, I can't really explain why, I just do.

And, yes, Outcast is a game I think deserves a direct sequel, but, then again, it is a space opera.

s23021536: It feels like they have something in common?

Psychonauts
Beyond Good and Evil
Anachronox
Giants Citizen Kabuto
Sacrifice

Its like they are from a brief period of sheer creative gaming genius. The last game
game that sort of reminded me of these kind of games was : Armed and Dangerous. Perhaps Overlord
as well and to a lesser extent Bard's Tale. Did this die, or are there other games like this? Please tell me there are other games like this...

edit : perhaps I should add Startopia which I'm playing right now! Gotta built a lovenest for my lovesick scientists o.o

edit 2 : Also missing : Messiah, MDK

F4LL0UT: Yeah, Messiah now comes bundled with nGlide. The crashes that made the game unplayable for many people (including me) don't seem to occur when running the game this way. Also GOG's Glide version of Messiah plays the audio tracks properly (from the HDD rather than looking for a CD). As far as I can tell the game is pretty much fixed now.
