Themken: Use scripts as GOG seems allergic to giving us useful filters.
this +1000!

Why? Why don't they want to make using their store easy, quick and information led? It's an endless puzzle i never find a good answer too!

Imagine having store filters for 'year of release: (add your year here)', or 'remove DLC/Soundtracks' from the listings!

My goodness we would have a great functional customer led store front that was fast and efficient to use, and all down to a few more filter options!

But no, it seems. We need to slog through it manually (which btw is what i do OP). You CAN sort the games by 'year of release' and that might be the best option to get the oldest titles first perhaps in your store listings? Then just scroll down the list until you reach the year you consider 'not old' anymore?

Last time I tried sorting by year, it did not work properly but a check now shows improvements have been applied but game bundles are still placed strangely, sometimes when the oldest game came out other times when the newest did.

Chromanin: I don't think you get it.

Good old games was the old name of GoG before they also added new titles. Back then it was like a paid abandowarez site, where the focus of the site was selling long forgotten games.
They're still adding old titles now and then (Like Diablo 1) but I can't find any filter anywhere to track this easily and consistently. I created this thread because I was wondering if there's a filter I missed somewhere, or if there's a tracker website that keeps up with the info.

I'm not interested in any other games on GoG except for old titles.

nightcraw1er.488: I do indeed get it, I am fully aware of the name change. GOG was never in any way and abandonwarez site. It has always been a site to legally buy games, and whilst the aim initially was to make older games run on more modern systems, those games that are not in legal hell (or would actually make some money) have been released. They changed their name because, to get more customers in and to keep releases going, they had to include newer titles as the available older ones were becoming difficult. The link I provided shows games by release date.
Again though, good, old, and game are all subjective. To some, and old game might be from 2000, for others it might be from the 1970s. Game is subjective as personally I don’t consider VNs to be games for example. Good is very subjective. So perhaps start by putting some criteria on what it is exactly you want, then you can have a look at these kind of pages for example:

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1990_video_games]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1990_video_games[/url]

All I can tell from your post is that possibly you are talking about the 90s, and possibly isometric arpgs, if so:

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_role-playing_video_games:_1990_to_1991]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_role-playing_video_games:_1990_to_1991[/url]
I don't get why you keep talking about "new" games. My preferred client is Steam, so all new games will be bought there. I have absolutely no interest in Gog for new games.

The filter I'll be using is this:
https://www.gog.com/games?page=1&sort=date&release=p2000

This works and seems to give me what I want.
