I had to find out what happened to Simon. The end sequence of Simon 2 had me hungry for more. Had to manually doctor some links, because "Why should our forum work without workarounds?" The GOG forums are the pits! Dear GOG: Just switch to Discourse, please.How to start a review about possibly the most controversial sequel of any adventure series? Do I start by highlighting all the negative comments that flooded the chat rooms and Amazon reviews? Or do I try and soften the blow by writing about the positive aspects in great depth? How about I start from the start, way back in 1995. * I feel like that would be a great business idea. ( "Unrelated" because who needs a re-release, really.?) It is still time to properly communicate this to potential customers. The only reason I know that they are going to be removed (as an unbundled option) is because I read this seemingly barely related announcement by chance. After all, GOG gave Syberia 3 a chance, so why not locate the rights holder for these two games?Īnd finally, some words for GOG's communication officers: I happen to have Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2 on my wishlist. While those are barely the best games ever there's always interest from players in finishing a series. Or Simon the Sorcerer 5: Who'd Even Want Contact?! ? Simon the Sorcerer 4 Chaos Happens (Which was actually already on GOG - and then was removed again.) I'm sorry.īut since were already on the topic: Do GOG have any official statement for us concerning Development on Simon the Sorcerer 6 - Between Worlds has been "halted indefinitely due to unforeseen events". Pond86: I'd much rather we got Simon 4 back and had 5 & 6 added here tbh. I would do a snarky remark about "Good Old Games" here, but GOG are already aware that this is no longer what the "GOG" stands for. So this looks like another downgrade of an already unappealing offer.

I'd also like to point out that the original games officially support Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10) as well as Mac OS X (10.6.8) while the 25th Anniversary Editions only support Windows 7, 8 and 10. Resolving the issue of either voice acting or subtitles, but not both is a good thing, but should have been addressed in a simple update/patch, imo. (I'm mentioning this here because readers from the future have little chance of figuring out what the urls were changed to on their own.)
I've taken the freedom to add the gamecards for the "Legacy" versions to so the community reviews aren't lost to posterity: If only sending a packet of life scorpions to MojoTouch wasn't so much effort.* While I fully blame MojoTouch for making the actual decision I blame GOG for not stressing enough to them how this kind of behavior does poison the well.
Now people are just more likely to consider other sources - which nobody wants. If they want to ensure a sale, they should have put more effort into the re-release in the first place. Keeping the original as a goodie is a nice gesture of course, but $#*%&! MojoTouch for taking away our option to just purchase the original outright. It's almost as if no lessons were learned when you removed Planescape: Torment, so customers had to buy the more expensive Enhanced Edition in order to get their hands on the original. GOG.com: The original versions will be removed from sale and added to these as a bonus goodie.
