I am all the more moronic, then!

Well there aren't many Star Wars games not already on GOG that I know of so I wasn't expecting that. But there are tons of Star Trek games GOG hasn't released yet.

Wow. Looks like this discussion got a lot of activity while I was gone.

Thanks to everyone who responded. See what 2016 brings us in the way of classic games.

You're absolutely right in suggesting that it fluctuates and, ultimately, doesn't really matter. Plenty of online news sites and people still think of GOG as "Good Old Games" anyway.

EDIT: Eh, I didn't have anything new to say w/ what I edited out. I'll just share

It might not need to be said to you, but my advice, if you're the type of person to get "emotional" about GOG releases: coming from somebody who's been here a while, be really careful not to get your hopes up (at least too high), because if you're emotionally invested then you could be perpetually crushed when the game you want to see here never gets released.

But do take a few minutes to vote for games you want to see here (if you haven't already) - https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games

That was a few years ago. 2013? That was exactly the time when Mr Holder stopped to communicate with anybody. I think IAmSinistar contacted Mr Bell and got the info there that the DM right are with Mr Holder.

I do provide the excel file for anyone looking to check other statistics, feel free to grab it and check the numbers.

I did try to run them, but something seems to be wrong with the results I get, so I'll skip it for now until I can dedicate the proper time to it. Or if someone else decides to run the numbers.

Excel file, Winter Stats tab, 2016 line. It is missing the last couple of releases, thus why I didn't post it. 22 Releases, 8 Day 1, 1 Pre-2K, 3 10+ years old with the current numbers.

This fact tends to slip the mind of a lot of people. There are plenty of older games that will simply never be re-sold due to certain circumstances, a lot of the time it's personal circumstances.

Thanks. I see you don't record InDev games.

Not yet, I treat them like pre-orders, so not counting them as "Releases" just yet.
I will eventually add two more columns, "InDev introduced in year" and "InDev released in year", one for new InDev games and one for the games that reach version 1.0 and are released.

Ive never really liked GOGs definition of a "classic".Just because a game is OLD doesnt meas its any good at any stage......

Que?

Fu-fu fi-fi bijou mustard...

Some of the meanest words ever uttered. Just reading those words made me wince.

Frankly, everything is 'classic', or at least will be one day. Just stare at your watch and be patient for a few moments. Another batch of classic games should be arriving soon. After all, we are now in a world where gamers yearn to go back to the 'simpler' days of the PS3 and 360. I wish someone would slow this roller coaster down a bit. Time progression speed is not optimal.

And don`t forget Amiga, which is a much higher level of complicated. Many good old games were first released on Amiga, for example Railroad Tycoon, Civilization, Bloodwych, The Bards Tale trilogy and so on.

Many games in the late 80's and early 90's have found their definitive version on Amiga, because of 32 colors (instead of EGA 16 because VGA became wide spread) and the superior sound.

Amiga can be emulated rather easily and perfectly, except for a few stubborn games with extensive hardware-hacking. I find getting a game to run smoothly in (Win)UAE a lot more painless than configuring DOSBox.
The problem is not the emulation, it's the copyright on the Kickstart ROMS.

Yep, this fecking thing with the ROMs. I still don`t get it why those are not free. You can easily download WinUAE, but for the ROMs they want a shitload of money, compared to what it`s really worth.
Luckily I own the Amiga Classix Gold Box, which contains WinUAE including the ROMs, but it doesn`t contain the games I really want.
