Dungeon Keeper 2 and Wing Commander 1+2 are the first two of eight EA classics being brought to Good Old Games. Both games can now be found on the classic PC game service for a mere $5.99.
It looks like Dungeon Keeper 2 is not the best version of the game out there, though, and people are complaining that it crashes a lot in Windows 7. So if you run Windows 7, perhaps it would be a good idea to wait and see for a bit.
Any guesses on what the remaining six EA classics are? I'm hoping for a Syndicate and Syndicate Wars pack myself, especially after the evil looks I got for asking EA reps at gamescom where the new Syndicate was.

Right, the first of 8 new EA Classics then :)
Have you gone mad? Why would you ever want a Steam DRMed version when you can get a DRM-free GOG version. I say fuck all DRM, even Steam.
From the gog.com product page: "Compatible with: Windows XP, Windows Vista (32 & 64 bit)"
Don't complain when you buy a game without having read the system reqs, only to find it doesn't work because you're running a system that isn't compatible.
I may as well state right now that the copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution I just picked up is not the best version of the game out there, because it won't run on my Mac.
If something is somehow able to run on ****ing Vista then it's amazing that W7 somehow has problems with it.
