Giveaway update (10/10): The giveaway winners will be announced Monday afternoon in this space and contacted via email, in the meantime you have a few more hours to participate and enter our contest. This is the first of many giveaways we have prepared for our readers for the remainder of the year. Thank you for your support.
Original story is below:
Good Old Games is just about that, reviving PC gaming classics. Having started with just two publishers and 40 titles backing them up, one year later GoG.com has expanded to include nearly 30 publishers and over 130 games, among which are such classics like the original Fallout, MDK, Duke Nukem 3D and many more -- priced reasonably between $5.99 and $9.99 for a DRM-free copy.
Good Old Games is just reaching its first anniversary, so we thought it would be a good idea to check back on them to see how things were going (and get more freebies for our readers, of course). We talk with the service's PR manager, Lukasz Kukawski as he comments on some of the challenges the service has faced, their DRM-free model, and a few other tidbits on the GoG operation.

I'd love to win Heroes of Might and Magic 3!
Some games I love from back in the day, that I even still go back and play on a semi-regular basis are: Master of Magic, X-Com: UFO Defense, Transport Tycoon (in the form of OpenTTD nowadays), and Gladiator. I can go on, actually, but the list contains some insane amount of games and we'd be here all day :-)

GOG are awesome!
I'd like to win is a one of the less obvious games: IL1946. It's a wonderful, comprehensive flight sim, and it would certainly make my gaming life easier to have it as a single download rather than 4 separate CDs.
The other game I'd like to see is Privateer 2. It ran horribly on my old P90, but I lost hours to it all the same!
-
I'd like to win : The Incredible Machine Mega Pack, or Expendable, or Empire Earth: Gold Edition.
I'd like to play again : System Shock, Dungeon Keeper, Nox, Iron Assault, Arcanum, Thief 1&2, Blood 1. . that's all I can think of.
-
I'd love to win the "Might and Magic? 6-pack Limited Edition" (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/might_and_magic_6_limited_ed
tion)The classic I'd love to see on GoG would be "Outcast" though. Brilliant adventure!
Too bad btw that you didn't mention the free games and the occasional discounts in this intro post, such as the weekly Hidden Gem or the deals they sometimes have with their suppliers.

One of the games I loved when I got my first computer back in 2001 was "The Nomad Soul : Omikron"
-
I would like to win Realms of Arkania, and/or the Gothic 2 Gold edition. I am a nut for RPG's and have some very fond memories of playing Obitus on my Tandy 1000 HX way back in the day - having to draw out a map (no auto-map) made the experience that much deeper.
-
I would like to win Heroes of Might and Magic Complete.

I would love to win Unreal Gold.
I played Unreal Tournament back when it originally came out but I never actually gave Unreal a go, I would like to go back and try it because I loved the gun mechanics of the old unreal games.
I would have to say some of my favourite old games are the Monkey Island series and Doom series particularly doom 2. Though now after finding out about gog I have been able to play some fantastic games which if I had played back when they originally came out would probably take top spots near Monkey Island and Doom. A couple of these games are Beyond Good and Evil, I pretty much couldn't put this game down after playing for a couple of hours and really getting into it. Another great one is the Guild Gold, I've never played anything like it before but I'm hooked.
-
I'd like to win Commandos, always wanted to try that game.
As far as favorite games of the past, I'd have to go with the Infocom text adventures.
