Hello Gog,

Any possibility of including in the Simon collection "Simon the Sorcerer 5" is very difficult to buy in English, I could only get in German.

Thanks,
Best regards
It is very unlikely to happen. The publisher went bankrupt and the game is in copyrights limbo.
Not just the english version of 5 but 4 would be good start.
I have a copy of 4 in cd but my laptop sadly won't read the disc.

I'm sure there are other ways to get part 5, although i haven't looked yet.

There are no legitimate ways of getting the English version of Simon the Sorcerer 5. There was no English disc version and those who sold direct download don't do that anymore. Even if you own the English direct download copy (like I do), you have to crack it if you want to play, because the DRM activation page is permanently down. German disc versions are still available, but AFAIK those don't include the English voice acting.

GOG is trying to get Simon 4 back to their catalogue (they lost it because of rights issue). I hope they are successful in that.
If gog does get Simon 4 back i guess it's a start into getting Simon 5.. maybe?
Be sad if us Simon fans don't get the chance to play it.

I'm gonna replay The Feeble Files which i've just rebought on gog, i remember it being tough but good fun.

you can run simon 4 on cd but before hand download Taggs the AAA copy protection system. then go to drivers and download 64 bit then put the disc in and try

I still have both games installed from CD in german . Cracked them, because of that copy protection that would a) work through a driver b) which was only included in a 32 but not in a 64 bit version (had to download the driver manually) and c) would most likely not work with modern windows systems anyway.

I would be more than happy to even to buy the english version of these games on GOG, but I missed them before they were removed. I guess that happened due to some licencing issues. For some reason they don't want my money.
Gee, I would even use a not so legally aquired version, but the GOG version of Simon 5 can't be found anywhere.
