Does GOG's versions come with all the expansion packs, and in case of Freespace 2...

All the extra levels from the Sci-Fi Sim of the Year edition?

Sorry, what expansion packs? Freespace 1 comes with Silent Threat and that's the only expansion pack that exists.

I do not know what the "Sci-Fi Sim of the Year Edition" used to contain.

I guess it doesn't... seems like might need to open up a new petition/want list...


HOweve,r maybe it has most of those, and more.... But as I also don't know exact details of what was previously included I"d have no idea how to test/try out the original included bonus levels.

I sincerely wouldn't be surprised if most of this additional content was remade by the FSO community, I suggest you ask on Hard Light Productions about it.

No, the GOG version is only the normal game, without the missions, that were part of the SOTY.

It contain some multiplayer and single player missions by the community.

The multiplayer missions were also part of the later released multi-mission-pack by Volition, which is still available in the web and which also get some new voice files that were not present in the Soty.

The single missions were created by the community and so are also still available. Also the two exclusive Demo missions were also part of this package, but lacked the voice files. The Demo Missions were remastered with SCP features and with restored voice files years ago already.

If you use Knossos for the SCP, there is actually a
Pre-Alpha release of my German Retranslation of FreeSpace 2 which includes all Soty Missions next to the restored Demo (yes, it is still playable on english).
