I want to see this games on GOG.com one day

1- Desperados - Wanted Dead or Alive
2- Robin Hood - Legend of Sherwood
3- Chicago 1930
4- Pharaoh
5- Zeus - Master of Olympus
6- Age of Empires II - Age of Kings
7- Rise of Nations
8- Blitzkrieg
9- Sudden Strike
10 - Shadow Watch
Chicago and Robin Hood are available on GG.

Pharaoh and Zeus are DEAD, as Vivendi doesn't care for old games.

AOE and RON are from Microsoft = forget about it. Really forget about it.

Welcome to GOG.

You should vote for those here. That's what it's for.

GOG always does its best, but they need to negociate the right with every copyright holder, then make the games compatible with modern OS, so don't hold your breath. Those games might come next week, or next year or never, there is no way to know.

Frankly, though, there's not much chance for any Age of Empires stuff, considering Microsoft holds the rights to those.
I think you can still pick up retail Age of Empires (original and 2) if you look really damned hard. Ensemble Studios crapped gold for a long time, most of that stuff is still around.

About as dead as Caesar III, I assume?

Well I'll be... GOG have Caesar! Missed that somehow. :D
Chicago 1930 is also available from DotEmu: http://www.dotemu.com/en/download-game/487/chicago-1930

I do not use DotEmu, so I cannot vouch for it, but it seems to be DRM-free.

Off-topic: does anyone have a walkthrough for Chicago 1930?
Is Chicago 1930 really like Commandos?

Yes, it uses the Commando engine.
IMHO, though, this is the game where the level of difficulty went from really tough to impossible,and the frustration level killed the entertainment value of the game.
Don't know about availbility, since it was made by a totally diffferent company then the one that made the Commandos game, they just bought the rights to use the engine.

You don't have to look very far,and you don't have to spend a lot of money:

http://www.amazon.com/Age-Empires-Collectors-Limited-Pc/dp/B000J18SR2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1301620199&sr=8-2

I actually think that Pharoah and Zeus will happen, since Caesar 3 has shown that Vievindi is willing to deal.


And, as others have noted, please post these suggestions in the sticky we have for that.

They're fine. Very much the same deal as GOG, basically. But with regional pricing now it seems. On the bright side their support actually does answer, apparently.

There are two packs of those lying around everywhere I go for 10$ so they can't be too hard to find. I got one and the main problem with it is it is a crap version. I had it running on one computer for awhile but couldn't enter the diplomacy menu or the game would crash. Then that computer died and I couldn't get it to run on another computer with a squeaky clean fresh windows install. They are also harder to get running under wine than the old versions( I believe). Sure didn't work that way either.

Honestly I've found once you strip a game of its DRM suddenly a lot of problems go away. I've avoided buying PC games for years now but I trying to make up for lost time on GOG. Even thinking of buying games I already own because I think they will be more reliable down the road. If Age of games came to GOG town I think I would seriously think about it even though I have two copies of AOE1 already. Its just nice to no fish for a CD every time you want to play something

Which begs the question, why don't GOG have Zeus and Pharaoh???
I wish GOG would get Gang Land :(

I'll probably say fuck it soon and buy it there.

And Emperor. Yes, yes it does.
How is the most recent Age of Empires? Looks to have gone 4x compared to its simplistic RTS roots.

I haven't been able to find it cheaper than $50 NZD though.
