nightcraw1er.488: It used to be Good Old Games, now its just GOG, they don't focus on just old titles and haven't for a long time. And yes, games were available via download for a long time, at least since the mid-late 90s. So no, no lol or anything.
Magic_Of_Light: I have been on pcs since the 286, and on the internet since before aol. Sure you COULD get downloads. But 99.9% of games were bought at a store and came in a box, installed and had an option for a desktop icon for them. GOG stands for Good Old Games. They continue to release old games as well as new indie titles, and even some AAA titles as they expand into the newer game market.
Your argument is pretty invalid here. In 1999 You would not download Baldurs gate, or Fallout 1 from the internet. It was not a thing, unless it was pirated. And even if you could do it, nobody was doing it then and it was such a small share of the market that it was unknown to me. So that in itself nullifies your argument there. in 1999, which is beyond the "mid 90s you claimed" about 90% of people were on modems ranging fro m28.8k-56k. And downloading a game that is 1gb or more then, is pretty out of the question considering it would tie up the phone line. Think things through before posting them please.
You should really try reading my post, then think about it before posting. Still, carry on if your enjoying yourself.
