Anybody know if these games are compatible with current OS's, or if they work with the GOG version?

If not, are there any plans for them in GOG's future?

As for your second question: The future of GOG is not easy to see. They may release them or they may not! ;)

About the first question: I really don't know!

I remember trying SimCopter once on my Vista machine, but the game kept crashing. After doing a bit of research online, I found out that (ironically enough) most modern computers are too fast to run the game. I don't have Streets of SimCity anymore, so I don't know if it's compatible with modern OS's.

I for one would be extremely happy if SimCopter (and to a lesser extent Streets of SimCity) was released on GoG. It would make for good tie-in products, seeing as how it was possible to import cities from SC2000.

Beastin' question. I believe Streets doesn't work right on my computer, and I'm running XP still. (The enemy cars keep bouncing up and down.) I think Simcopter works reasonably well, though.

Still, great memories of both; I think I got to the last level of Simcopter but it was too difficult to finish (probably because of strong winds). Both were pretty goofy, but fun and had GREAT music and commercials. (I still have the .wavs of both, so if GOG doesn't release those, I might upload all that and link it here, if I don't get too much flack for it. :/)

Maybe they could be bundled together for $10. :)

if you can get them running they should work with the city files generated by the dos version gog.com sells. those games are standalone titles that use SC2K save files to generate there level maps.

I've never tried this but I just had a thought. Could you use a virtual machine OS to run these older games possibly?

Theoretical: yes. This is how the Windows XP mode works on Windows 7.
I've done it with some really old games in virtual machines in the past.
It can be a pain in the ass to setup, but if it works it's just like in the old day.
