"History overlaps with the present time" - what old games take place in or around 2010?
Edit: Some of the Ultimas did involve time travel.

I want a new hint. I'm bored.
>_>
Hmm... Maybe something like this?
"The return of incredible karmic awareness"
As it was said Fallout had a karmic system. 'Awareness' was also a perk in Fallout.
"History overlaps with the present time"
As we all know in Fallout universe the whole technology was like taken from the 60's. The history was 'overlapping' the preset time up to the future....
Maybe it will be Fallout 3? :)
I'm dreaming again :P
EA, so we get Bullfrog! WOuld love to play Theme Park, Theme Hospital, Magic Carpet, Populus and Syndicate again!!!
The Return of Karmic Awareness = TROIKA
History overlaps with the present time = Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.
Published by Sierra = Mentioned before Mikee posted.

Arcanum has no ' present time' OR ' history' . It's steampunk meets fantasy.
Hey, a crazy idea: GOG is going to distribute newer titles as well on a new sub-site. Price points will be a bit steeper (like, $15-20-30), but they still come without DRM and with all the goodies GOG is known for. This way, history overlaps with the present time!
Oh, and the site becomes Good Old and New(er) Games, or GONG :-D.
(Before anyone starts bashing: please keep in mind it's a crazy idea ;-).)

Or simply "GG" ;P.
Ultima was all about karma, and if I remember well at all it regularly involved travel between the present day and an alternate history. My guess:
Ultima I-IV . . . $9.99
Ultima VII . . . $9.99
Ultima Underworld I+II . . . $9.99

Well, if the other GG service doesn't mind... And then let's just hope it truly remains GOOD, and not only G :-).
"The Return of Karmic Awareness" is definitely a strong nod towards TROIKA, but "History overlaps with the present time" makes me think more of Tomb Raider and EIDOS.
Less than 48 hours remain WOOO!!! You know, maybe we should make a countdown party in GOG's IRC channel... :P
How about another clue for lunch? They are two different characters, but they complement each other beautifully.
What?

Whoa! New clue!

Two different characters could be 'E' and 'A'...
