Gimgak: Honestly if GoG.com should worry about getting any old Bethesda games working on normal systems it should be for Battlespire or RedGuard. Those two games are extremely hard to find and would generate a lot more sales.

Yeah I second this, I've always wanted to play Redguard but I can't find it anywhere. Or to be precise: I haven't found it in a relatively comprehensive package, I'm not a pro with getting old games running, and now that I have 64bit Win7 it seems to be even harder. That comprehensive package is what I believe GOG would offer if they had the game here.

I still have my disks - I will try it out on my XP Laptop and let you know if it works.

Hmm... I have both. Should try to get them to run someday. But there's still that Terminator 2029 CD on the shelve looking at me....
If Bethesda comes here, having the two games beautifully packaged and with extras on GOG would call in a lot of newcomers, the ones that don't want to "fuss with dosbox" themselves.
Just think about the 2010's gamers: will they want to play BaSS for free, or the predecessors of Oblivion running on a double-click on Win7 for free?
(nothing against BaSS personally, ok?)

Redguard installs fine under XP but throws a 16-bit ms-dos subsystem error upon start up. Tried messing with some compatability settings with no luck. So maybe ??

Is that a trick question? Obviously for "2010 gamers" it would be neither.

Ahhhh ok ok. it wasn't a trick question.
What I meant is that this generation of gamers would sacrifice their graphics hunger more for the elder scrolls games than they would do for BaSS.

Right, this is exactly what I was talking about when I was referring to a comprehensive package. Seriously, thank God for GOG.
