The games fit well in GOG's wheelhouse, but I just have to be pedantic about this:

Why MEMORIAL?

To be utterly blunt and insensitive - who died?

Was it Doug Wood, or some other key developer of the games? If so, why not mention that in the game description?

Always liked what SSI published, so I was more interested than usual, but this odd choice of words is a little off-putting for me...

“Memorial” can also mean something designed to preserve the memory of a person, event, etc.

This release is preserving the memory of an old game by making it available to modern computers.

my hope was that they released a memorial set with the idea of there possibly being a native PC enhanced edition with revised graphical/audio overlay, but the 'memorial' edition still contained under the hood? (Perhaps a similar approach to the Wizardry 1 reskin?
