Adventure Gamers - Forums

I wanted to draw your attention to a thread going on at gog.com
Game rights thread

There are a few users there going through the motions of contacting people involved in making old games (quite a few of them being adventure games), where the publisher involved has already released some of their games on GOG (so no LucasArts or Take2) but still has some that have been unreleased. They are emailing people trying to see who has the rights. They have received feedback already from some people already and it is exciting to think that this might be speeding up the process of getting good old adventure games onto gog.

There is a list of titles they are looking into asking about in the first post and they are looking for any feedback on the games in the list and whether they are worth the effort of getting them on GOG. (The list of games continues in the thread)

I wrote about the ones I have played but I know there are a lot of people here who have a lot of knowledge of old games and might be interested in helping out.

The staff at gog have said they are following the topic and have said that it is very useful for them when deciding which games to release on gog.

I know there is a lot of old gems out there that we don’t want to see lost forever, so if this sounds like something you are interested in, it would be cool if you check it out.
Thanks.

Many thanks for that link. I’d love to see who has the rights to the Discworld games. Discworld Noir is criminally underrated, and deserves to be re-released on GOG and played by millions.

Yes, Terramax. Disworld Noir is one of the best. Fortunatly (for me), I own a copy but zillions don’t have the choise now to play it.

Great thread in gog.

Kind of disappointed the site slowed down in the release of classics. Probably due to a mixture of shared focus on indie games and getting more difficult to grab the rights to some classic games

There are plenty available on Ebay, Amazon etx….

Discworld Noir at Ebay

I counted 35 in Ebay and 3 in Amazon. They are all used boxed games (and some are not delivered outside USA). When I said that zillions can’t get it, I meant digital download of a game that the WHOLE WORLD can get.

Yeah, that is one game I have been eagerly awaiting a gog release. Will those old CD-ROM’s even run on Windows 7? Even if they did I would still prefer a gog copy in the hopes that in buying from them some of the money will make it to the original creators of the game.
