Yeah. As much as I want Grim Fandango through GoG. Odds are, any rerelease will be through Steam - since that is where Lucasarts has their backlog. Id love to get copies of Outlaws, Jedi Knight, , Xwing/Tie Fighter series, Battlefront 2, and all the SCUMM/GRIMe titles through GOG, but I dont think it will happen anytime soon.

Edit - OOOOH and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. Heck, Id buy most of their WW2 games - Battle of Britain's expansion alone would be worth $10 to me.

Actually from what I've heard, GOG is going to make a push to start getting LucasArts games now that System Shock 2 has been acquired.

But what I would really like to see is Warlords. Not the Warlords: Battlecry series, which they already have, but the original Warlords series. Because I desire some Warlords 3.

I'd like the Kyrandia series. They already have other Westwood titles, so this shouldn't be a stretch. I'd put that series in my top 10 adventure games.

I second this motion HARD!. that series needs to go back to its roots and release more like Warlords 3 and back. Luckily, there are patches that allow it to run on modern machines if you still have the game and there is a community that does online rankings.

Sweet deal. Good times with those. And GOG has Warlords: Battlecry, which is the same series, so I wonder how hard the rights would be to get access to. I should really start asking about this in their forums.

Also the FPS Strife.

I'd love to see them get MechWarrior 2 going. That one's probably another rights issue since Activision owns the code and Microsoft owns the IP and there's some sort of sublicense that Piranha is using to make MWO.
