SimonG: Aren't the old Blizzard title released on their DD page basically DRM free? (Starcraft and D2?)
There are several other Blizzard games that aren't available anywhere, notably WarCraft 1 and 2, The Lost Vikings 1 and 2, and of course the original Diablo.

While Diablo 1 might pose issues, being Windows only (and likely requiring tweaks that may be difficult to apply), at least the first four all have DOS versions, and could reasonably show up at GOG.

running Diablo 1 is no problem on 7 x64 just as long as you apply a reg patch to fix the colours going all horrible :)

Maybe but I don't know if you can wait that long.

The only other Blizzard games worth mentioning that could do with a re-release are Blackthorn/Blackhawk (depending on where in the world you live) & Rock & Roll racing. Most other of their early titles were pretty mediocre, like: Death & Return of Superman, Justice League Task Force or Radical Psycho Machine Racing.

How about releasing Lord of the Clans? I would actually buy that.

Yep. And now not only Blizzard. There is Activision too! It is much more Activision-Blizzard! Also former Activision head is now the President and CEO of Activision Blizzard :)

Indeed, I was looking forward to that much more than the upcoming Warcraft RTS (Warcraft 3).

Activision is here, but it was said at the time that the agreement with GOG did not include Blizzard.

The sad thing is, someone does have access to an unfinished build of Warcraft Adventures.

No i didn't said it that we will have Blizzard games. I said that to support they are now bitcher than ever :D

I think the first response nailed it. There is no legal way to un-DRM this game (certainly not one that Blizzard would ever allow). That said, after seeing all the decisions made in D3, I'm a little soured on the previous Diablo titles as well. I started playing Titan Quest this weekend and finally remembered how FANTASTIC of a game TQ is. I'd rather GOG go after more gamer friendly games like TQ to be honest.

If GOG did get D2... I'd likely get it on a sale just to keep from installing off 5 disks. (with expansion). But its not any where near the top of my list.

You can just add your key to Battle.net and download a DRM free installer for it :)

Interesting. Thanks for this. I've been using Farstone's VCD to manage games before GOG, but that program is very clunky and the actual copy protection they overcome is overstated at best. Any DRM-free opportunity to play games without CD swapping 200+ games is a welcomed one ;)

Love it...
