I doubt it'll be as good as Megaman 1-3, so yeah, prolly more like 6.5. 1.5 would be amazing though so let's keep fingers crossed. :)

Bosses seem less desperate and far fetched than MM6, which is a good sign.

I think all the games have manuals and some have wallpapers, avatar and even soundtracks. Pretty damn cool I think.

GoG is great, i bought Fallout 2 even though i already own it, (to get better XP compatibility) and it works like a charm ^^

Too bad the library of games is so small though. Also i'd like more OLDER games, amny of these games are a bot old to be sure but not that old. I want dungeon keeper and syndicate!

Yeah I would love to see more older games. Dungeon Keepers would be great, as would be Master of Orion 1&2, Blood, NOLF's, Homeworld's...

They seem to add new games every Tuesday. 2 games or so. Would be great if this would grow to service where to get all the great old games.

Well it is very easy to go about pirating DRM free sofware, but then again, even if your game comes with starforce or whatever some group is still going to crack it within a day or two from release. Now that i've bought Fallout 2 from GOG i wouldn't copy it to my friends, they can fork out the measly sum of six dollars to play it, i mean whats six freaking dollars? If a superb game like Fallout isn't worth six bucks then you don't get to play, it's that simple. Not implying that piracy is ever a good choice ofc.

DMR free for the win, i love it.

You only got the free game if you signed up between two specific dates and those are past now, so no free game for you.

From today on, GOG.com is officially available to every classic PC games fan that wants to satisfy his need for DRM-free Good Old Games. “The success of the Early Access Beta showed us that there is huge demand for DRM-free classic PC games, and it helped us to prepare the site for the public launch. We are endlessly grateful to the users for their support and assistance,” said Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director of GOG.com. Don't wait, create your GOG.com account and dive into the world of classic PC gaming.

GOG got Epic games to release old Unreal games on their service. Also Unreal 2 and UT 2004 are coming soon. Nice to see that they get more and more companies to join in. Hmm I wonder if we would see some older stuff from Epic MegaGames too.

Also soon there should be virtual game shelve. Yeah pretty useless but still kinda cool feature for collector like me.

I'm not certain, but pretty sure Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is officially abandonded by Epic, so you could just download it freely:

That's probably their best old school game anyway.

Btw I noticed that MDK2 is on that GOG site.
I was just posting in another forum that this game has severe z-fighting issues on newer Nvidia cards and there's no way around it.
I mean, it's pretty bad, so don't bother with it unless you have an ATi card with drivers that allow a 16 bit buffer (I don't think there are any that don't).

I installed my copy a few months ago and about cried when I saw it on my newer rig.
Very sad.
Maybe I'll try to find some relatively retro hardware so I can build a new machine for older 3d games.

I know that OMF:2097 and some Tyrian game was released for free. Both published by Epic I think. So yeah maybe there isn't really anything to release on GOG then when you really think about it.

Still quite a good shooter too.

No they are fixed to run on newer operating systems, if needed (and stripped of any DRM).

They would have to recode parts of the game to get this problem fixed.
Or, Nvidia could like, you know, fix their drivers.
Anyway, the game runs fine, it's just the z-buffer problems are pretty severe.
If you have an ATi card you should be okay though.

I find it funny that this game is still ESA protected (or whatever that list is called) but isn't being supported anymore to fix this issue or any other issues.
Stupid.
