It was an addon for DK. Any chance of it coming, too?

Duffadash: Do you guys need the Gold Edition CD? Because I can totally mail it to you or something... Just want to play DK again... >.>
Cook(GoG): It's not the case of us not having the addon, but we didn't add it due to legal/licensing issues.

It's due to legal issues. The expansion (I still have my original copy) had both DOS and WIndows versions.

I haven't tried it in Vista or 7, though.
And, I don't know if I was running the DOS or Windows version.

Well I have the Dungeon Keeper Gold as well. And it does work in Windows 7 if run in DOSbox... But the Win95-exes don't. Which does suck a bit since they have Direct3D. However it doesn't suck half as bad as DK2 which was made for hardware graphics but only works in software mode in Windows 7.

The following is taken from my PC Game Compatibility list.
http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=8784
The following only applies to the Windows ver of DK.
For the DOS ver use DOSBox
It highly recommended to use KeeperFX instead of DOSBox or the original DK executables (unless you want to play multiplayer then use DOSBox)
Windows 7 64bit

When I tried it in Windows 7 32-bit, it worked just fine. I don't think
that I was running any sort of emulation mode.
