Just wanted to say that Sacrifice and Unreal Tournament GotY Edition should probably be bolded on the complete list. Sacrifice is an incredibly unique action strategy hybrid with awesome voice work and Unreal Tournament is one of the best multiplayer shooters ever.
UT still has an active online scene? HMMMMM!! If it does, I would definitely recommend it.
I wanted to get into Gothic but I don't really want to play through the entire series...
I'll get Septerra Core. I need to get Neverwinter Nights 2 eventually.
Beyond Divinity is a big step down from Divine Divinity, so no. Divinity 2 is an entirely different, but fun, beast. Hokey, but fun.Is Beyond Divinity worth getting? Heard Divinity 2 wasn't very good.

Mind elaborating on that please? I don't mind sequels being different so long as they are good in their own way.
First off, Beyond Divinity is uninspired and very cookie cutter. you're also stuck with another character, effectively controlling two characters but the interface and the combat doesn't jive with this set up. It's also not an open world game like DD. Also, horrible voice acting.
A lot of so called freeware or abandonware isn't actually freeware legally speaking.What's GOG's policy on distributing freeware of some old games? If one made them aware that a requested game was freeware, would it mean that GOG would pick it up and distribute it?

GOG truly is like being at a candy store.Lowered regular prices for some games. Now you have even less excuses to not own Outcast.

Holy crap LSL7!! I was disappointed when the previous release only had 1-6, so I decided to wait. Now I can have the full collection. Thank you GOG!Releases:
Leisure Suit Larry: Love For Sail
I think - someone will be able to correct me if I'm wrong - this was the last 'proper' Larry.
Hocus Pocus
One of Apogee's later-published titles - indeed, I *think* this was one of their last platformers before they went full-on 3D Realms, isn't it? Perfectly competent, as far as I recall, but nothing that special. I assume the shareware version is still out there somewhere if you want to try before you buy.

Wow! Spent hours playing the shareware version when I was a kid!Releases:

also have some good news about the previously released Leisure Suit Larry 1-6 pack. We'll be adding the full-talkie SVGA version of Larry 6 today.

Hocus Pocus makes me want they released Jazz Jackrabbit already.
They'll probably get all indignant and go "what? You have the Unreal series already! What more could you possibly want from us?"Yeah, someone needs to convince Epic to start supporting GOG already...

Well, probably not, but it kinda feels like it sometimes
I honestly don't get why a company would refuse to release their back catalogue. They're basically saying no to free money. Why would they do that?
Yes. Yes it does.I wonder if they'll release Apogee's edutainment titles?! :O
Word Rescue kicks major ass.
Just noticed they have Superfrog on gog, is the original/classic game still worth getting and playing?
Apogee's last platformer was Realms of Chaos. Hocus Pocus is a good game, though, of course.
Your list omits some other titles, though, like the Catacombs Quadrology (Catacombs 3D, The Catacomb Abyss, etc). Wouldn't mind revisiting that, honestly... Softdisk, technically, but I think some of the first GOG Apogee lineup was SoftDisk, too.
Hah... yeah, maybe. They certainly don't seem to have any respect at all for their great '90s shareware history, making them quite the opposite of Apogee/3DR, sadly. I really wish that wasn't the case; sure, I preferred Apogee to Epic, but Epic MegaGames published some pretty good games too.
And on that note, my favorite games published by Epic are Epic Pinball, Traffic Department 2192, and the first Unreal Tournament. TD2192 is freeware now (the developer made it freeware a few years ago), but Epic Pinball... yeah, they really need to re-release that game, with all of the tables!
If you're talking about the Amiga version, then yes. The version of SuperFrog on GOG isn't the Amiga version, it's the DOS version. So, find something called Amiga Forever from Cloanto, buy whichever version you need, and then find the SuperFrog Amiga disk/CD images and away you go.
