I thought that was going to be extremely difficult to get up for digital distro since so many different parties own the rights to so many different parts of the game.

It was sill a pretty amazing game, if quite flawed.

Ah didn't know that, I just looked on its wiki page and saw EA were the publishers. Hope it does come up tho, I imagine it will sell very well if it does.

Dungeon Keeper is on there now it seems.. Brilliant game.

Hmm just read it all.

'While the agreement between Electronic Arts and GOG.com brings back many acclaimed and well known franchises, it doesn’t include the much anticipated System Shock or Syndicate series at this time.'

Looks like we won't be seeing it for some time yet.

Other EA titles coming in the following months:

We will be adding more than 25 titles from EA over the next few months, so the games will be unveiled gradually, but we can already reveal that the next upcoming titles from this huge deal are: Crusader: No remorse, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Magic Carpet.

Be good to get Alpha Centauri if its going to play ball with Windows 7!

Has anyone else experienced loading the gog website lately? Used to open up quite fast but now times out all the time both on chrome and ff for me. Haven't made any changes to the browsers lately so it's sort of puzzling =/
