YES, still wanted to play this but not really able to. Same thing with Grim Fandango.

I don't think I'd buy it again (still have a disc copy), but it'd be great for everyone else to be able to bask in the glory.
I played through about half of it in one setting a year ago. The only potential area I see a problem are the "mini games" that weren't so hot even in 1995.

How recently? I played it for the first time about 3-4 years ago and I loved it, and I don't even like adventure games all that much.
I have a disc copy of this, but I'll probably double dip anyway.

Please be true. I can't find a copy in my country and it's kind of expensive to import one.
I'll love you forever GOG. Do it.

It's always struck me as something of a black sheep among Lucasarts' adventures. I really don't like the linearity of it, but the storytelling is top-notch, and that's kinda aided by the linearity, so it's not without its benefits.
Actually... it's sort of the adventure equivalent of CoD. I think that's not too bad a way of looking at it. Full of awesome setpieces and nuggets of adventuring gameplay, but lacking the breadth of player agency of a Broken Sword or a Day of the Tentacle.

I think a lot of people would pay $20 for this. Money on the table. Keen to play Full Throttle though.

If true this is HUGE for me personally.
Would love a gog.com release

Full Throttle is awesome, and I can't wait for it to be DRM free available to purchase new once again.
However, Grim Fandango is the grand prize. That is, without a doubt, one of the finest adventure games ever made. It is easily Tim Schafer's best work, and he has made some outstanding games in his time (FT and Psychonauts to name two).
Whoever finds a way to bring Grim into 2013 has all of my money. Or at least however much they want to sell it for...

One of my most wanted games EVER for Steam/GoG. In fact it's THE most wanted. It's such an amazing game. My goodness.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
fingers crossed for some good news with this being true! LOVED that game and was sad they never made a second one.

There was one in the works, but it got into development hell, the guy who played Ben died, and it was ultimately cancelled.

Please, throw in my face the fact that my avatar is included in this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5G2YHOw3XI#t=3h59m50s, but didn't anyone find this game super cheesy?
It's the game that turned me against LucasArts. I totally didn't understand the comics it was referencing, so it seemed like there was a huge clash between the silly aesthetics and grim-to-the-point-of-laughable dialogue/situations.
Plus, it's super-short and the puzzles were even easier than typical LucasArts puzzles (pretty well-designed, though).
Even if you liked it, did anyone hear have to get over its 2000 A.D. cheese?
ON-TOPIC, I am happy whenever old games are made more easily playable, so it's still good news.

Two in the works. First a proper adventure game followup, then a shitty looking 3D beat 'em up thing.
I wouldn't want a sequel today, even if it was headed up by the Schafe himself, simply out of respect for Conrad.

I also hope for a soundtrack bundled with the game release, but maybe that is too hopeful.

Oh man please please please.
I never played this when it came out (aside from the demo, which I loved - I was a broke 12 year old at the time), but I would love to go back to it now.
Hopefully it'd be the start of a GOG/LucasArts flood of releases!
