I do love GOG for their classic games, and what a delivery they have for us today, wow! Cannon Fooder 1 & 2, Leisure Suit Larry Greatest Hits and Misses and Sensible World of Soccer 96/97.

Leisure Suit Larry Greatest Hits and Misses - https://www.gog.com/game/leisure_suit_larry
Sensible World of Soccer 96/97 - https://www.gog.com/game/sensible_world_of_soccer_9697
The Cannon Fodder games were games I absolutely loved in my youth, so you can bet I will be attempting a play-through of them again soon. I never finished either game due to my age when they came out for the Amiga, so hopefully they won't be as difficult now!
Sensible World of Soccer is also a game I sunk hours, more hours and those hours turned into weeks and months in. I look forward to trying it out again! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Nice. :) I don't have much interest in playing the first games again, but I think LSL 6 (and 7 had it been supported) would probably still be very enjoyable.

Quoting: KeyrockStill no Linux version for Love For Sail, the best game in the series :(
We haven't forgotten LSL 7 but if we do roll out Linux support for it, we want to be sure it's done well :)

Heh, I'd missed that. I'm not sure how you managed to preserve that digitally, but I guess my physical copy of it wouldn't have much smell left in it by now either.

Well, knowing how those materials were made back in the day, it still has one smell remaining: age :P

I'm a bit disappointed at how small the Linux subset of my GOG library is. The majority of my library is probably DOS games, which ought to be supported in Linux as easily as Windows via DOSBox, but for some reason there is no Linux version available.
Obviously I can install them on Windows and move the game over to Linux to run in DOSBox there, but that's not really the point is it?

Same here, but I guess it takes a looooooooooooooooong time to port the DOS-Box games. Which could IMHO done very quickly. //sarcasm off

You also can use wine to install them and run it with wine or run it with the Linux-DOSBox version. Works with 100% of the DOSBox-Games in my 800+ Games Library on GOG. So I DON'T understand they delay either.

We have to get permission to make Linux-compatible versions first before we can offer them in such a way.

Quoting: JudasIscariotWe have to get permission to make Linux-compatible versions first before we can offer them in such a way.Naturally you (GOG) need permission from developers. What I don't get is why any of them might refuse an additional platform or two when no effort is required on their part.
I understand this might not be the most profitable thing to spend your time on, but how actively and aggressively do you push for Linux releases of old, wrapped games? Do the developers/IP owners even know the platform exists? Can you show them favourable statistics on your other multi-platform offerings for an incentive? Am I asking too many questions? :)
