I'd really like "Black and White". Or "Amber: Journey's Beyond".

Even though I have voted for it, Morrowind. It seems to me that Elder Scrolls stuff will stay with Steam, but for every game that I given up hope for, I'll be that much more surprised if it ever comes on GOG! I try with community wishlist participation and then wait in anticipation while GOG does their behind the scenes deals for any game, even ones that make temporary comebacks like Nordic titles. I hate to admit it but I almost gave up hope for SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition (since it is an early access Steam title until Feb. 13) and figured it'd stay in Steam after it came out of early access but I am really impressed by how GOG acknowledged it too now and it'll make an appearance soon. :)

Grargar: They would if it was that easy. Problem is that Ubisoft made a deal with the owner of the Myst series (Cyan) to develop and publish those games and they reserve full rights for both of them, but unless they come to another agreement with Cyan, those games might never be rereleased.

sreamer17ydr: Yeah, wish Ubisoft would just let it be releases, and they could get some more profit from those games.

Yeah Amber is fun, and so is Black and White! Both games would be amazing

That is true that Cyan could be the one that is doing it, but, I mean they released Riven, Myst 5, and Myst 1. In 2012, the last time I heard from a Cyan forum person, was that there was licensing issues, back in 2012, back that was years ago.

there is a third party however
and problem

presto studios who developed myst 3 and they went defunct in 2002

that might be the problem

Artificial Academy :-P

On a more serious note:
Archimedean Dynasty/Schleichfahrt - the first part of what became the AquaNox series.

That is true, but hopefully, wishful thinking, Ubisoft, and Cyan come to an agreement and release them.

the.kuribo: The missing Sierra adventure classics (Colonel's Bequest/Laura Bow series, Black Cauldron, Codename: ICEMAN, Conquests of Camelot/Robin Hood), Jones in the Fast Lane, and those Les Manley adventure games by Accolade. Oh, and the multitude of MAXIS sim games, like simant, simfarm, simgolf, etc.

I just don't think demand is high enough to justify chasing after the rights of these older titles, and I do not envision demand ever increasing at this point.

Also, games which for one reason or another GOG does not feel fit their catalog (educational/training, sports games, adult games and other niche-genre games).
simgolf is what I really want to see on here but It don't look like its happening

It's funny seeing all those posts and realise that quite a few of those games are now here. :P

Drakan: Order of the Flame
Drakan 2: The Ancients' Gates

The first Drakan came out on PC back in 1999, and its sequel, Drakan 2, was released on PS2 in 2002. I like both games, but the first Drakan is the best and certainly would be a nice fit for GoG.com.

None.

Because two weeks ago, GOG acquired the rights for System Shock which I thought was impossible. After pulling off that, I don't think there's any games that are out of their reach anymore (and if they're not, it won't be for long).
