Now for one sub-portion of Activision to sue another sub-portion of Activision over the lack of DRM in these releases, leading to the removal of the games due to legal issues, which are then never resolved.

Mikee: Next time we'll invent something else, but who know if it will be better for the heart. We have some other much more crazy ideas;)

If you ever use a countdown again and arrange for someone to exclusively "leak" the news early, have the countdown in sync with their announcement. It won't make the countdown so useless then =)
GoG team... just amazing.....
Ubisoft was a big win when you got them on board but to get Activision is amazing - especially considering their previous stances with regards to DRM and acquisitions (Blizzard... warcraft anyone? maybe starcraft to promot starcraft 2 when it comes out?).
Back in the day Dark Reign (and it's expansion) was one of my favourite games - doubly so multiplayer - didn't think much of DR2 however.
I mentioned that title back when I joined Gog (along with Evil Genius and some others) given that would be within the remit of GoG and was publisher by Acti... well here's hoping ;)
Once again - congratulations guys... you have shown this works and hopefully with both Ubisoft and Activision supporting you others will be easier to negotiate with.
Freddy Farkas: Frontier Pharmacist would be an excellent addition as well.

My Activision Wishlist:
Battlezone
Battlezone II
Dark Reign
Dark Reign 2
Heavy Gear
Heavy Gear 2
Interstate 76
Hyperblade
MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries (I doubt this one)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Spycraft: The Great Game
Star Trek: Starfleet Command III
The Movies (with Stunts and Effects)
Twinsen's Odyssey
Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines
Zork: Grand Inquisitor
Zork: The Undiscovered Underground
Interstate and Vampire are musts!!
Do they have the rights to Little Big Adventure? that would be amazing... hell I still remember the opening dialogue (in French)
" Situe en peripherie d'une galaxie peu frequentee, Twinsun est un planetoide recent. Mu d'une lente rotation sur lui-meme...." :P
Too bad so many good games are owned by such a publisher.
I'd rather buy a used copy somewhere than give money to Activision for something they didn't even make.
Who doesn't hate Kotick for what he's saying about his customers? :P
Activision ftl.
Speaking of big publisher deals, whatever happened to Ubisoft? We got an initial flurry of games, and nothing since. They have loads of cool old games that could go up on here...
my wishlist:
Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom
Caesar III
Pharaoh
Queen of the Nile: Cleopatra
Master of Olympus - Zeus
Master of Atlantis - Poseidon

After the initial batch, we received two new Heroes games and the M&M Collection.

I would hazard a guess that given the size of the GoG team the progress of negotiations with Activision meant that the past several weeks (and ongoing) have involved technical testing to validate old games from the catalogue for upcoming releases ;)
I fully expect to see more of Ubisoft (especially the last 3 Myst games) in the future.... But we gotta give the team time if they are going to continue to negotiate with the last few big hold out publishers and if they are going to continue to test every game they put up and not just host whatever a publisher tells them like a certain DRM'd outlet ;)
Would be interesting in the future too to know when Activisions old catalogue (at apparently surprisingly sensible prices) will bring them in estimated revenue versus Ubisoft higher cost offerings....
Dark Reign was kind of "meh" for an RTS...I got bored of it fairly quickly. I probably still have the retail somewhere here.
Doom 3 might be a wishlist game....
Hexen / Heretic games weren't that bad. I'd probably wishlist those, too.
Mechwarrior 2 will probably be an insta-buy. Never did get around to the 3rd or 4th.
Total War series - Rome, Insta. Medieval/2 probably wishlist.
Netstorm:Islands at War was pretty good game for multi-play back in the end of the 90s. I'd like to see that, though probably not going to be insta-buy.
Quake 2 will probably be insta-buy...gods! where's the money gonna come from?! O_o
Civ 2? hella yeah!
I'd also love Starfleet Command III...1st one too, if that can be arranged :ninja:
BLOODLINES!! Even with the 3disc retail, I'd insta-buy ^_^
Wizards & Warriors, I'd probably wishlist.
