KengLee0688: hello everyone,
im new to this GOG site. how does this work? do you purchase the game and just down load and install? do you get a CD-ROM by mail? im trying to play Heros of Might and Magic 1 & 2. yeah I know. old games....the last time I played it though, it was on CD-ROM. so im just curious on what I should be expecting when I buy these games. any help will be appreciated. thanks!

Hey mate, welcome. :) Nope, no CDs here, all digital. Think Steam but you aren't forced to use a client, or think CDs in digital form - "installers", all the contents packaged up into a single .exe file.
You buy the game, then hover over "Account" -> click "Library" -> select the game -> click on the file under "Game Downloads" (there may be more than one file, in which case download them all). Once all files are downloaded, find them (presumably under "Downloads" or your desktop) and double-click the orange installer file. Install and either play via desktop shortcut or Start Menu -> Program Files -> GOG.com -> *game name* -> *circle icon of the game*. Hopefully that helps. :)
You're entitled to a 30 day refund
if you end up not downloading the game in that time,
or if you have major technical issues and Support is unable to help you after you work with them (their suggestions don't help).
