edit:

My point was to explain why I am not so interested in GoG... not start a discussion we've already had before on the quality of these games etc. :P

I love GOG - but, yeah, I've got a few games from them I ain't even touched; such as Dark Star One and Fallout: Tactics.

I never finished Lionheart (RPG).

Though, Fallout 1 from GOG got a good deal of play from me - awesome game. Ain't finished it, but yeah - when I bought it, it took some of my soul. :P

EDIT:
I would love to see Shadow Warrior join GOG.

Unlike Baldur's Gate II, the older FO games don't seem to have aged well at all. No, I am obviously not talking about the graphics, or the interface. The actual game is unnecessarily tedious.

Probably b/c natively, FO doesn't support high-res and wide-screen. There's mods out there for that, though.

I dunno, but I don't mind FO's old-school turn-based style. Same goes for Arcanum, as well.
Though, for some reason - I just never really got into TOEE - even w/ the Circle 8 mods out there...

BG2 was great - and still runs on most PC's today, as long as you turn OFF hardware acceleration; same goes for most Infinity Engine games (Planescape: Torment; Icewind Dale games). None of those games have aged, honestly - it's that damn Infinity Engine for you, some of the best 2D RPG'ing ever around. Plus, you can bump that bad-boy BG2 up to higher res's natively - even if they weren't supported by Bioware, Bioware left them there purposely just in case people wanted them for the future...

What do you think is tedious about it?
The turn-based strategy/RPG part?
The questing?
Random encounters?

Obviously you missed the very next sentence when I said: No, I am obviously not talking about the graphics...

I noticed that in my EDIT and asked you what didn't work for you. :P
So, read my EDIT.
