    Woo!

    Hopefully they'll release the Baldur's Gate Trilogy and Planescape as well.

    I'll pick these up after I've finished my current queue of Steam games :).

    Thats awesome. I will probably be forced to pick this up soon just for archive purposes.

    I would kill for some Baldur's Gate action.

    Fallout 1 and 2 were awesome games. I picked up and played through Arcanum simply based ont he FO1/2 credentials.

    I enjoyed Arcanum. It had a nice steampunk type feel set in a very nice fantasy setting and Fallout type play mechanics. If you can get it for dirt cheap, give it a whirl.

    Best Buy has Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics in a single box for $20...slightly more than gog.com...but there's the comfort of the box...

    I bought Tactics from gog.com and had some sound issues with it (my onboard audio couldn't figure out what to do with the older 32-bit version of Miles Sound System)....gog.com was extremely helpful and responsive in figuring it out...

    gog.com's support is way better than any publisher that I've dealth with...cost and support are why I love gog.com although I could do without their installation wrappers...
