ScummVM is testing it right now. Really excited since I have the cds too. 👍I've still got a cdrom copy of blade runner, is it even possible to get it running on a modern machine? I haven't played it since I was a teen. I wonder if it holds up.

Loads of Star Trek games, but especially the Armada and Elite Forces games.
Sadly the original licensing expired by Activision being dicks and trying to sue CBS, so I doubt they'll ever get relicensed.
High five, you just beat me by a couple minutes!Tons of Amiga games. They'd be as usable and playable as any dosbox game with the WinUAE emulator, I have no idea why gog haven't tapped into that source.
I've been wanting Black and White on digital FOREVER.
I don't know why it isn't. I don't think Microsoft has anything to do with it? It was published by EA.

Lionhead was bought by Microsoft, so it's probably a question of EA and Microsoft working together.
Many amazing games I played on DOS and Win95 back in the day aren't available on GOG.
Star Trek the Next Generation: A Final Unity.
Albion.
Fable (not that one. a point and click adventure).
Reunion.
Dust (not that one, the one by Cyberflex).

Wouldn't EA own the IP though? I mean that's how it is for most studios, they don't own their IP's the publisher usually does, especially back in those days.
There's a whole bunch of those turn of the millennium era Star Trek games Activision published that have never seen the light of day.
Holy shit. I've been waiting for Albion to show up on GOG for years that I lost hope at one point.
I hope you're talking about "Sid Meier's SimGolf". Because that's still one of the best games ever created.

GOG has been active for a while now and it is without a doubt one of the most important platforms that has revived a lot of classics and made them available both to old and new players who never got a chance to experience classic PC games before. The fact that they managed to get Warcraft 1+2 and DIablo 1 were just amazing and hopefully a sign of things to come.
Since they've been at it for a while, what classics are they still missing and what publisher still refuses to put their legacy titles on the service? Looking at the wishlist, it seems some of the missing titles:
Command & Conquer series : Lots of other EA classics are on GOG (Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital), yet none of the C&C games are there. I wonder why EA never bothered seeing how the Ultimate Collection is on Origin
Black & White: One of the most requested strategy games, yet it's unavailable and Lionhead is no more. I could imagine Microsoft has something to do with this.
Blade Runner: I actually don't know why Westwood or EA haven't released this. I assume it is problems with the IP rights between the Dick estate, Ridley Scott, Fox, and EA.
Mechwarrior and Mechcommander: The most popular series that isn't available. Like Black & White, Microsoft is the owner of the IP and the games, so I imagine this is why.
Freelancer: Microsoft again. No idea why.
No One Lives Forever: Legal troubles between Warner and Fox made it impossible for Night Dive Studios to resurrect these classic games. Absolutely devastating.
Aliens Versus Predator 2: Like NOLF, this was also made by Monolith, yet it is nowhere to be seen. The previous AvP by Rebellion is on GOG.
Neverhood: Not sure why this isn't available.
Silent Hill 2, 3, 4: These classic horror games got PC versions but Konami haven't bothered with putting them on digital distribution.
Age of Empires: On Steam, but not on GOG. Microsoft again.
Dune series: Westwood again, but I could imagine the Frank Herbert estate is making things complicated for EA.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth 1+2: Warner now holds the LOTR license and therefore EA is not allowed to sell these anymore, I assume.
Any other games that are sorely missing? I apologize for not including ones that I have grossly overlooked
Mechwarrior has a very complicated licensing issue, its not just MS involved in this process.
I would love to see the early NFS games on GOG.
Tons of Amiga games. They'd be as usable and playable as any dosbox game with the WinUAE emulator, I have no idea why gog haven't tapped into that source.
Was released as freeware as part of the marketing for One Must Fall Battlegrounds, making it the only worthwhile thing about that sequel.
Would rather not see Neverhood on any purchaseable platform if it means Damn TenNipples never makes money off of it ever again
