Good Old Games has signed Atari!

We're revealing another big publisher joining our DRM-free outlet. First games to be released throughout April.

GOG.com continues to build its unmatched catalogue of classic PC games with the announcement of the deal with the famous worldwide publisher - Atari. The hit games will be added to the GOG.com catalogue throughout April and will include such glorious gems of yesteryear as Outcast, Master of Orion and Master of Magic. Today, during CD Projekt Spring Conference where the agreement with Atari was announced, Marcin Iwinski, Co-Founder of CD Projekt and GOG.com, said "This deal is really just the first step in what we expect will be a long and fruitful relationship. Atari has a tremendous number of cult classics within their grasp, and we hope to sign these in a near future!".

I believe the operative word in this scenario is "Hurrah!"

Ironic, since GOG is owned by CD Projekt, who made The Witcher... which was published by Atari.

Atari has some of the older D&D games in its catalog, including NWN, NWN2, and ToEE, A non-buggy version of ToEE would be nice...

Yep, I saw that as well. Sounds like we're going to see the first two MOO games plus MOM released in the not-too-distant future.

Good Old Games have added the legendary Betrayal at Krondor to their catalogue.

Going to be interesting to play this sometime. The not-really-a-sequel, Betrayal in Antara, was the first RPG I played; most people say it was terrible in comparison to Krondor but I remember having a great time with it back in ye day.
