I would love to see "The lost files of Sherlock Holmes" on gog. If the 3DO version of the serrated scalpel with voice acting could be ported over that would be great. Are there any fan patches to get 'The Case of the Rose Tattoo' running on 64-bit machines?

The new regional pricing system seems quite interesting. The Witcher 3 is $21.97 more than the US, which GOG refunds as part of the fair price package. For those that care it costs $80.99 AUD with the promotion - about $75 USD.

I take back what I said earlier in regard to regional pricing being reasonable. If I buy the Witcher 3 from steam I pay the US price of $53.99 USD as opposed to the mysterious regional price of $75 USD (converted from Australian dollars even though my region is New Zealand) on Gog. It seems somewhat bizarre that a major competing service is able to circumvent the regional stuff.

Just picked up Master of Orion 1+2. Is there a decent tutorial floating around somewhere? I have no idea what I'm doing.

The manual included in the gog pack is worth a read, but this LP http://lparchive.org/Master-of-Orion-2-%28by-nweismuller%29/ is what got me into trying it out and gives a good outline on how to approach the game.

For your first few goes it might be worth turning off the complex ship combat until you get a feel for the management aspect. I haven't spent much time on Master of Orion 1, but 2 can become very addictive.

Fair enough.

Still want my loving Conquests of Camelot/Longbow.

Christy Marx the designer/director/writer of the conquests series has the games available for free on her website. http://www.christymarx.com/writing/longbowfiles.htm

It's been a long time since I've used those files but they should run fine under dosbox.

Hopefully the HD remake of Day of the Tentacle will see the light of day. Apparently it was quite close to completion before the project was stopped.

Finally got around to trying the Tex Murphy games (specifically Under a Killing Moon), and good lordy who thought analogue mouse movement was a good idea? The writing's fun though :allears:.

It would be nice if they remade the older Tex Murphy games with the Tesla Effect interface, I really struggle with the old movement system especially when looking up or down.
