What Majesco games are on gog?

They merged with a medical company and dropped out of games entirely.

So nothing definite but casts doubt on the future of their games sales it seems. Thanks.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
If their Wayforward-developed stuff disappears, that's a real loss. A Boy and His Blob and Bloodrayne Betrayal are totally worth having.

Just realized I have codes for Expeditions Conquistador and Victor Vran from the Fall sale that expire tomorrow. Quote to see them.

Odd. No announcements, or mentions on Twitter/elsewhere from what I can see. In the GOG forum thread about this (the official sub-forum is empty) one poster mentions there were 'plenty of hints', any idea what they are referring to?
Seems the publisher who handled it went bankrupt...Wish I knew earlier.

Still up on Humble. Should one hurry up and buy it?
I just checked and the humble version is self published so it's safe. The GOG version was published by BulkyPix and they went out of business so that seems to be the only version affected so far.

Good to know, thanks.

Got a few more GOG freebie codes I'm not going to use, so someone here might as well have some fun with them. Quote to see:
Neverwinter Nights Diamond
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut -Taken
Stasis -Taken

Thank you for Stasis. Been really wanting that for awhile now!
Grabbed Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Thank you!

1849 appears to be a case where GOG accepted it based on its general appearance, yet according to the one star reviews it's a straight iOS port with no PC-specific settings such as key re-bindings or camera rotation, sold at a vastly inflated price.
Despite approving a poorly reviewed iOS port they'll still reject other PC-only games like Concrete Jungle. Only seems to confirm they're curating their library based on appearances alone. If the graphics hint at anything mobile-like—even if they're not, and have highly positive reviews—they appear to be rejected.
Guess it's to be expected. On the one hand I'm not greatest fan of graphics that give off a mobile-like impression either so IDK. They're curating a 'look' and I can respect that but given some of the duds they approve the process is questionable.

Nothing they will do in the future will top their rejecting Cook, Serve, Delicious for being 'too casual'.

I'm now convinced it was a purely stylistic decision, as in the case above. Had the game featured more detailed graphics (not that it needs to) and a UI that looked more along the lines of other titles there I could see it being approved.
Look at VA-11 HALL-A, what is essentially a drink mixing game with dialog. I'd bet that if the graphics were in the style of CSD it too might have been judged unfairly but with the (excellent) 16-bit pixel stylings it fits right in with GOG's general curated selection.

New Disney games have been added:
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Tron 2.0
Armed & Dangerous
Stunt Island

Tron 2.0

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is probably one of the best movie adaptations in gaming. Tron 2.0 is a Monolith game from 2003, so obviously it's amazing as well.
Sweet.

I'll get Tron. I've always wanted to play that one. And Monolith could do no wrong back in that era.

Feels like GOG has more sales than it doesn't have sales.
Nice.

I've only put a few minutes into that game so far but that shark gun is pretty gratifying.
Also picked up Arx Fatalis despite swearing to myself that I was done with sales for the year. It's been on my wishlist since I first joined GOG and it's the first time it's been on sale in four years. Anyone know anything I should do and/or avoid before I jump in?
Coreda

Indeed. Considering it was bundled with 6 other great games for $10 on Steam recently.
Why wait? The game is only $5.99.

When you have over 1000 games you become a cheap motherfucker.

Race Driver: GRID is being removed from GOG December 31st so they're having an 80% discount sale.
Good game? The GAF impressions at the time seem to be very negative yet others think it's great. ʅ(❛ -❛ )ʃ

Very much so. It still looks quite nice, handles well, and has tons of content and a pretty fun career mode.

It's a great game. GRID 2 isn't, but GRID definitely is.
This doesn't exactly bode well for Dirt 3 coming to GOG, though

CALADRIUS BLAZE, a Shoot'em-up is releasing on GOG. Can we start seeing Degica and Cave games on there too?
https://www.gog.com/game/caladrius_blaze
If the art is familiar than it's because the same artist did the art for the NDS/3DS Devil Survivor series, who in turn was the main artist in the recent Digimon games.

Hot. Not the greatest shmup but I'll take it.

Cool that Caladrius is coming out on GOG -- people did some digging a while back and suspected it was on the way, but it's nice to have confirmation.
Only question now is how the PC port compares to the PS4 version.

So the launch of Gamepump has been a bit of a cluster, but they announced today (along with the delay) that you'll have the option to claim your games on GOG.
So assuming the service doesn't go belly up before it manages to launch, you could theoretically get 13 new to PC games on GOG for $20.
The first game has been confirmed to be Wayforward's Lit:

If GamePump is releasing games on GOG, too, then I'm interested.
Though, as much as I love WayForward, that first entry doesn't seem too inspiring.
