Rallisport Challenge would be good fun to play again. Still annoyed that they didn't bother porting the second one to the PC. Or continue the series, for that matter.
But I doubt they'll be interested. GOG is the kind of small, innovative business they're used to squashing, not cooperating with.

does this mean microsoft is open to distributing their games on sites like gog? wouldn't it be awesome to see age of empires/mechwarrior/fable/freelancer on gog!

I bet they'd be more likely to throw those up on say G4WL.
I'd kill for all the Mechwarrior games, Flight Simulator, Zoo Tycoon, Impossible Creatures, Rise of Legends, Fable, and Crimson Skies on GOG.

GOG sure would be a better option than G4WL.

michaelleung: Yeah, totally. MechWarrior 4 sucks, it got a 100 in GamePro and 88 in PC Gamer, and Midtown Madness 2 was so bad it got a 9 in Eurogamer, right?

KingofGnG: It was a joke, and btw I'm not interested in the votes of the aforementioned games.

Shitty joke if you ask me.

Urb4nZ0mb13: Impossible Creatures

YES.
If they are going to release games here, I'd love to see Fury3 and Midtown Madness I and II (and maybe Hellbender). Also, Age of Empires I and II would be cool.
Even though I generally dislike Microsoft's products (although I'm one of millions having no real alternative, despite having used GNU/Linux for a couple of years, anyway, never as my main PC OS), I must admit Microsoft's games used to have a rather unusual shine that some other games would lack. In fact, taking a look at a piece of crap called MS Office and comparing it with one of Microsoft's games gives an impression of those two being creations of totally different companies. The truth is, Microsoft has never had monopoly on video games, thus has always been forced to live up to concurrent quality standards.
All those good, old games... Age of Empires 1-2 (the third instalment is a far cry from the noble preceding parts), Fury3, Chip's Challenge, Entertainment Pack (especially The Puzzle Collection!), Close Combat... they all used to be famous and extremely time-consuming for virtually anyone who ever tried them! On the other hand, Pandora's Box is an astonishing Microsoft game, however never really appreciated for some reason. After all those years, it's always nice for me to play once again those Microsoft oldies. A bit like moving back to late 1990s... good, old days :-)
It's sad to admit, but I doubt GOG will ever acquire rights to publish that magnificent piece of software...

I love mechcommader (gold), great great game.
Oh just reinstalled Impossible Creatures. One of the most inovative RTS game ever.
Personally, I'd love for Starlancer to make it onto the list here. It's far from the best game I've ever played, far from the best space "flight sim" I've ever played, but it did have a certain charm to it.
And my discs are old, so a downloadable version would be great.
