Please? I especially like MM VIII :)
And so, the astronaut jumped out of the ship and parachuted down to the planet of Gogmoria, where he found evil creatures roaming the planet called the NOOB BEG THREAD! Never fear, he used his wits and NASA training and fought them off with the FAQ antimatter device.
Unfortunately, the alien life-forms were back. He had no choice but to escape to the spaceship, but they were still coming. So he had no choice but to sacrifice himself to kill the aliens. He took a deep breath and initiated the dark matter device, known as the Wishlist 3000. He vaporized himself and the aliens.
The end.
(Wasn't as good as last night's, sorry)
Unfortunately the Wishlist has no real feedback to it. It's kinda like wishing at the wall, especially when most of the games at the top of the list are, in my eyes, rather new (I thought this was Good OLD Games!), and most of what's on here or high on the wishlist are active genres.
I've finally taken to scrounging through old boxes for my Might and Magic needs, though. Now if I could just get World of Xeen working properly with MIDI... :)

You could try getting the M&M collection on Amazon. Not sure how high/low the price is now though, but AFAIK it doesn't include M&MVIII
Yeah, I'd LOVE to see some MM games. I can't get them to work on my computer because of Vista (ugh) even after trying out every fix I've found. My only option now is to hope and prey that GOG would release them. It's a long shot, but it could happen. Maybe. Hopefully.

System Shock 2, Planescape: Torment, System Shock, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows Of Amn, The Secret Of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, The Curse Of Monkey Island, Full Throttle, Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis, and Outcast are new in your eyes?

Maybe i had already seen the wishlist, and thought I'd just see if I could get some community support? Really, you should spend a little less time criticizing others. It will come back to haunt you some day.
But yes, I've looked around other places online, but I really like support GOG, and I move a lot and things get misplaced and lost. Its just much easier to get on a download the game :)

The problem is that lately, there's been a bazillion threads like this one, despite the fact that the FAQ says, quite clearly, "don't make threads like this one!"
While you are more than welcome to make a thread discussing the M&M games, you shouldn't make threads asking for them to be added to GOG. There are very good reasons for this, of which two major ones are 1) it's pointless, and 2) it's annoying as hell. A third reason would be that it more or less brands a big "NOOB" sign on your forehead. Being new to a forum is not a crime of course, but not reading the "rules" for a forum you are new to before posting there, puts you at risk of unwittingly breaking the local codes of conduct.

Of course, not all of us locals are this anal about threads like this. :-)

Which in turn have earned you, the OP, a loud and profound ARGLEBEH!
Still, I wouldn't mind more M&M games myself.

Personally, I don't care about M&M. I've only ever played one of them (number 7, I think) and it sucked (my opinion, you understand). I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the rest of the HOMM series, however.

People have various opinions about the different games in the M&M series, some prefer 3-5, which used one engine, and others preferred 6-8 which used a different one again. I haven't heard anyones opinion about the first two games, and the last one was rushed in a practically pre-alpha state (though there are a couple of unofficial patches that makes it quite playable), so you can just guess about that one.
Not a big fan of HOMM myself, but they're entirely different games, so it's not that difficult to understand that you prefer that series over the main one.

Well, at the risk of showing my age, most of those would be what would have been considered adventure or action/adventure games back in the day, not RPGs. Ever since Diablo was released, they've pretty much been slapping stats and a story on a game and calling it an RPG.
As for the Bungler's Grate games, I guess I've harbored animosity against those games since I tried them out way back when they came out and found myself fighting more with the combat system than enjoying the game. Why they couldn't have had a direct, true turnbased mode, instead of a pause and pray system is beyond me. After having the computer consistently take the longest path to get to an enemy, and forfeiting their turns.. I quite literally flung the CDs out the window.
Give me a direct control combat system like the Gold Box AD&D games over that any day! I'm a combat control freak! :)

Might and Magic: World of Xeen (IV and V combined) was probably the pinnacle of the series. VI and VII were okay, for what they were.. VIII was blah, and I think IX was just dog vomit (never played it though).
I got the retail big box version of Might and Magic: World of Xeen, which comes with a really big and beautiful map... but I was never able to play it thanks to windows comtability. So I would definitily buy it again on GOG... well, I woud probably buy most M&M games.
