Square Enix has finally debuted on Good Old Games, and it has two Eidos classics to kick things off. The legendary Deus Ex and the iconic Hitman: Codename 47 are now available on GOG for your edification.
Deus Ex: GOTY Edition costs $9.99 because Squenix knows it can get away with it, while Codename 47 is $5.99. GOG promises that more Square Enix games will be coming to the service in future weeks. Maybe the PC port of Final Fantasy VII will come back! You never know.
In any case, this is pretty cool. I always love it when GOG scores a big name.

I wonder if I should get the original Deus Ex. I have never actually played it.
I have finished the Deus Ex: Invisible War and loved it, and the new Deus Ex was amazing. Such a great game.
Will I enjoy the first one after finished the 2nd and the prequel?
Still, great to hear. Bring the Thief games next, Square.
I tried believe me but I wasn't much of a fan. Probably doesn't help that I don't have the nostalgia for it like most people.
Push comes to shove, though, someone out there has probably created a tweaked launch file for later systems and Steam. It's just a matter of searching the right forums and fanbases.
At least it's better than RE 4 PC... \:
I'd gladly pay a meager $10 to have a playable PC version again without having to deal with fixes and tweaks. It looked better and sounded better than the PSX version.
Not much of a loss though, considering that it's a 6.9/11.
GOG has Atlantis III on there, the fact that they put their time and effort into making that W7 compatible proves they could very well polish up anything.
hopefully this means that soon we'll get Gex, Anachronox, Warzone 2100 and Revenant on GOG.com.
Thief, especially the first one is a pain in the ass to get running on anything XP, Vista, and 7. There are definite work arounds, go to the looking glass and they have so many solutions, but it would be nice to get a pain-free working version.
I wish GOG would get a pain-free Thief and Thief II, plus System Shock 2 (another hard to run game nowadays, but much easier to get working)
And I agree with Christopher Jaramillo though, Thief series or bust! Even if I could play my disks on W7, I think they're too messed up to play!
I got Thief 1 working after about an hour of frustration on Windows 7 x64. 2 months passed, and now it crashes to desktop whenever I run it, despite me changing absolutely nothing about my computer.
Goddamn shame, too. One of my favorite games of all time.
@Discount Tent Ed: That's Adam Jensen. J.C. Denton is more famous for; "My vision is augmented." / "I've got nerves of steel." / "You're gonna burn alright." ;D
I can confirm Deus Ex: GOTY working on Windows 7. I did not even have to run any tweaks for some odd reason? I know on XP I had to disable my additional processor cores.
@Foggle
Yup, similar thing kept happening to me when I played it on XP. Would get it to "run" (would still have some weird issues), but then it would just stop running and be really picky. I have not tried it on 7, but I am worried it will result in the same disappointment :/ It is funny though since I can get Planescape, Homeworld, and many other games from that golden era to run with no issues, but Thief teases me.
I should have also mentioned that copy of Deus Ex was the original CD as well, no Steam copy or anything.
