It bothers me. Especially Myst.

But what can you do?

Publishers don't wanna publish. Can't force 'em.

I am pissed that Legacy of Kain Blood Omen, The Curse of Monkey Island, the Postal and Shadow Warrior updates, Oddworld Muchee's Odyssey, among others, aren't here, yet. I am a completionist, too. And Curse of Monkey Island MUST come here, it doesn't run in modern systems, only GOG can pull it off smoothly!

Matewis: Not really, unless perhaps one of the skipped games is particularly good, like Monkey Island 3 for example. Or Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom. Or Simcity 3000.

tinyE: I'm still pissed about SimCity 3K not being here. I'm tempted to investigate getting it on Amazon.
Was it ever explained why GOG couldn't get SimCity 3000?

Dartpaw86: I want to call it OCD but I'm certain that's wrong. But I can't stand having incomplete game collections, despite of course games like the later Serious Sam, Elder Scrolls and Fallout titles are on Steam.

But I mean games that are unavailable anyway.

I have Monkey Island 1, 2 immediately jumps to 5.

Myst 1, 2 immediately jumps to 5.

The first 5 Wizardry's aren't present.

I'm sorry but I'm a completionist, and yes I know with Myst and Wizardry they are copyright issues. (Which no-one seems to want to bother to make any sort of agreement anything soon) and the Monkey Island titles are likely going to get remastered eventually. But still... it really bothers me.
Let this thread reveal how much stuff we are missing.

As for Myst, the owners of the series (Cyan) have been trying for many years to come to an agreement with Ubisoft for Myst 3 and 4, but they haven't been successful so far.

Dartpaw86: ...and no doubt they'll be part of the Steam Connect program so... No-DRM versions for free :)
I wouldn't be too confident of that. Morrowind and the Fallout games have not been part of Connect yet. There's no real reason to assume that Oblivion and/or Skyrim would be (assuming they even show up here).

It's completely borked on modern OS.

That saves me buying it elsewhere.

Thank you CARRiON.

Curse runs fine on modern systems. You just need the alternate launcher/installer or ScummVM.

I'd guess with a little bit of effort it should be possible to get it going on a virtual machine with an older windows installation, like a pre service pack 2 windows xp or something.

I have over 700 games on here that work fine; think I'll stick with those. :P

Well, YMMV, but there are things you can try.

All I know is, I tried it on Win 7 and Win 8 and it wouldn't even launch. If you do get it to launch you'll have massive GUI and framerate issues. Never tried it on Win10.

I'm still trying to find windows 9... ☺

I'm a bit annoyed that Demon's Soul (predecessor to Dark Souls?) and Saints Row (1) are console exclusives, while the later games in those series appeared on PC.

Oh well, that sometimes happens, the other way too (like the first Witcher game being PC exclusive, or the first two Thief games).
