System Shock 1 doesn't even run on anything anymore.System Shock 2 would be nice. No way I'm paying hundreds of dollars for a new copy or 60 dollars for a used copy that is probably actually just a burned copy from Asia.
DOSBox is a wonderful program.System Shock 1 doesn't even run on anything anymore.

Nice being more up to date again!
System Shock 1 doesn't even run on anything anymore.
Trying to get sign off on expansion for EA games on GOG. Might actually kill me....
Edit2: Oooh, could the 'cool thing' be related to https://twitter.com/#!/thatbarnettblok/status/160754316943179777 ?
Wing Commander expansions finally?
If you never played Syndicate when it was released back in the day how does it hold up now? Is there a good story to it?
If you thought that yesterday's Monday release was unusual, just wait for today's news!
New Publisher Coming: What Kind of Hero Will You Be?
What kind of hero will you be when our new big publisher joins GOG.com?
Wow, a Monday release and big news today? Is it the end of days?
As we‘ve already told you, 2012 will be a year of grandeur for GOG.com. To prove that, another big publisher will join GOG.com in a move that wasn’t predicted even by the Mayans (and they knew a lot about 2012). Our new publisher carries an impressive portfolio with some of your all-time favorite game heroes that will join the GOG.com catalog in coming weeks. Two game characters that are now a standard in their genres will grace our catalog on this Thursday with as we launch the publisher with style, bringing you two new games on one day.
What kind of hero will you be on that day? What are our two major releases?
GOG.com will be giving you clues about the new publisher right here on our forums, hints about one of the two heroes you’ll see on Thursday via Twitter and clues about the other hero on Facebook.
It fits in nicely since they already have Gothic 1 & 2 on GOG. I believe the Enhanced Edition of Forsaken Gods is supposed to be significantly better than the original release of the expansion, but never got a grasp on exactly where that leaves it.
and anachronox! maybe startopia. omikron? revenant. urban chaos. project igi. joint strike fighter. myth?I bet on Thief being the game about the hidden Hero.
Then, the publisher could be Square Enix, which now leads to all Eidos properties, including tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Hitman, Legacy of Kain, etc
There needs to be a rule that GOG can't do teasers with the word Hero in them until they release the Hero's Quest / Quest for Glory series. Sadly the clue sounds like it has nothing to do with the games.

I will keep my childish hopes for Lucasarts up. And hope that the 2 heroes refer to Sam & Max. I need Tie Fighter from GOG >.<
Maybe ? Cant see where the pixelated bit would quite fit though.
I really fucking hope its Thief, those games are unique.
Eidos would be good mostly because I think it might help sort out out the rights issues surrounding System Shock rather than particularly for games Eidos published ;p

isn't owned by eidos, seems so. on dotemu for free http://www.dotemu.com/en/download-game/1386/warzone-2100It could also include Warzone 2100
But Lucasrts isn't very relevant today and the hints talk about how the heroes are "a standard in their genre".I predict/hope it's Lucas Arts. That picture kind of reminds me of Loom or Indiana Jones FoA intro.

How would Eidos joining GoG help at all with the bizarre situation surrounding the System Shock IP?

so we know it's garret (who is more or less the prince of the stealth genre)
I wonder who the other one is
Ah fuck my circuits got crossed. I thought Eidos had some ownership of Looking Glass and so might have a stake in SS, but I guess it was just a publishing relationship. D'oh.

I've always wanted to play the classic Thief games. I've only ever played DS.
GOG on Twitter said:Hero 2: Will you be the kind of hero that was friends with a rabbit?
fuck no, i'd take a groaning shambler over those giant metal things any dayMight play it again, but I'm chicken-shit about zombies in T1 (thank God they were mostly replaced with machines in T2).
