Although Darklands hasn't been mentioned, I thought you would all like
to know about a new web store called Good Old Games that plans on
bringing classic DOS and Win95/Win98 games to the masses. All the
games will be DRM free and will be priced at $5.99 or $9.99. Games
initially available include Fallout 1 and 2, Fallout Tactics, Descent,
Hostile Waters, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Sacrifice, Soldiers of WWII,
Freespace 1 and 2 with about 20 more available at the beta stage. They
expect to add new titles every week. I have had access to the beta
site at www.gog.com, so below I give some insights:

1) The games are all fully patched up with the latest official patch
and include a PDF manual and extras like soundtracks that can be
downloaded after purchase of the title.

2) Each game has a sub forum where the first post is a sticky with
links to mods, unofficial patches and higher resolution patches, etc.
These have been tested by G.O.G. with their version and has seen to be
okay.

3) G.O.G. showed me they understand the totality of PC gaming by not
only including the well known Good Old Games, like Fallout, but also
the great games that went under the radar, like Hostile Waters,
Original War and Soldiers of World War II!

4) The forum is already getting lively with a 5 page 'wish list'
thread developing in just over 2 days!

5) G.O.G have a link on every single page on their site to give
feedback, a sign they really want to create a great community site.

6) The whole idea of DRM free games for low prices is a great one, but
to me is also a trust thing. Obviously with no DRM, piracy would be
easy, but this company is laying it on the line and just trusting it's
customers! Something very few companies do in video gaming! If they
are willing to put their faith in me, I am willing to return the
favour. I intend being a strong supported of G.O.G!

Even though I have all the games in their current catalogue and most
of the games being asked for in their wish list thread, due to the
fact I have been PC gaming for 20+ years and have avidly collected and
kept all my games. Some people have a a room with bookshelves full of
books on every wall. I have bookshelves full of games. Side-on they
look like hardback books! (the big box versions anyway!)

Due to G.O.G's guarantee that their games will work on XP and Vista
OS's, I have already download Fallout 1 and 2 as my originals had
graphic glitches. they downloaded fast, the installer was very user
friendly, and both games worked perfectly!

If you are a general fan of retro PC games, you could do worse than
check this site out! I recommend it, for what that's worth! :)
