That's Psygnosis, if I remember correctly, and apparently:

try looking up who made lemmings :)
I'd like to have here games from Blue Byte, but they were bought by Ubisoft, IIRC

Andy_Panthro: Origin!
I'd happily pay for the Ultima games ten times over.
Unfortunately, they're part of the EA behemoth. :(

Hmm, I'm surprised to not see... organic deposits over crusader.
Novalogic would be an excellent addition, I'd never really thought of them before. I know I'd buy the majority of the delta force games at least (definitrely like to try that remake of DF1). The problem is that they have their own online shop and prices are... well lets just say shit and leave it at that.
Troika would truly rock balls but since 2/3 of their games are licenced properties that'd virtually ensure a price tag of $10 and there's no way in hell I'd pay $10 for temple of elemental evil since it was kinda crap but for $6 with good extras I'd probably do it. Vampire Bloodlines would absolutely be worth it and even though I have a perfectly functional copy, good extras might compel me to re-buy it. Especially a lifesize version of VV, she could ghoul my brains out. I'd take Heather (especially the obssessive compulsive version when you're a malkavian), Jeanette or Ming Xaio as well but VV's my true love in the game
Valve.

I'll go with EA, thank you.

Rockstar North. IP was owned by Psygnosis, who are now part of Sony.

They're here already, sort of. They bought Interplay, and I think all their old IPs are still at Interplay. F/A-18E Super Hornet is one of their games.

TheCheese33: Come to think of it, I see Activision as the most important company to come over because if I don't see a Vista-friendly version of Zork Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor pop up soon I think I will go daft.
In fact, bring all the Zork games. No, bring all the Infocom games. No, bring every damn game with a text parser! Come on, Activision, I know you're holding out on the good stuff! Sitting on all that merchandise ain't gonna do you no good when you have some buyers waiting to get their fix. How do you expect to make a little green on the side? I've sampled your text parsers before, and I have to say, that s**t is primo. You've just been doing so much Guitar Hero that it's beginning to hamper your judgement. So come on, hand over the goods! I'll pay top-dollar for that sweet, sweet command prompt.

Couldn't agree more. :-)

thoughts: I want to see more of the stuff I've/we've never heard of, but looks really interesting. Sure it's less of a guaranteed high #number of sale, but though old, they are new to me.

How about Gremlin Interactive? Creators of Hardwar, Whiplash, Lotus and Sandwarriors. They were bought up by Infogrames back in 1999, though, and was later liquidated in 2003. I wonder what happened with the licences of those games, though...
On a second thought, since Infogramers have since become merged with Atari, it might not be too likely we will see them here at GOG.
Perhaps more likely then, is Eidos Interactive. Now owned by Square Enix, and proprietary owner of not just the Tomb Raider franchise, but also multiple stellar titles that are no longer actively sold, including the entire backlog of Looking Glass Studios. Might be too good to come true..?
