Awesome news.
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?

I have Hitman: Codename 47 on Steam but STILL can't run it on Windows 7! I wonder if it's even possible.
Still, great to hear. Bring the Thief games next, Square.

I could use Deus Ex free from Steam DRM (Not that Steam DRM is bad, I just want to have apocalyptic insurance that losing the GOG service won't make me lose my games)
Call me a jerk but I bought Deus ex for 99cents way back and never bothered to play it.
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.

Oh god.. FFVII on the PC. I still have my discs. Such a shame the game was an unworkable mess without fan patches.
@DrRock: The first Hitman works on Vista, so it should work on Windows 7, too. Since it's on Steam, my guess is that you'll have to convert files to "Run as Administration" and maybe switch the Compatibilty over to XP.
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.

@ultoroscariot - yeah, that tends to be a trend with some old Japanese pc titles, or at least I get that with metal gear solid 1 and 2 :(
Codename 47 (Steam version) works perfectly on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. You just have to remember to set it to use the OpenGL driver in 32-bit colour.
FFVII ran beautifully on my old Windows 98 PC...it was the only reason I still kept that machine around as long as I did. I still have the discs and that big trapezoid-shaped box it came in, but haven't been able to get it to run in Windows 7 64-bit.
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.

The PC port of Final Fantasy VII ain't coming back. It barely ran when it was released and there's no chance they'll put in the effort to make it work now.
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.

I just want System Shock 2. You can't find it anywhere legally which sucks because I want to play it.
just bought Deus Ex, i've already bought at retail Hitman Quadrology(first 4 Hitman games on 1 disc) for 7$ last year.
hopefully this means that soon we'll get Gex, Anachronox, Warzone 2100 and Revenant on GOG.com.

It looks like they do own the rights to the Thief franchise (from what I can tell tracing publishers etc) so hopefully we'll see that series. afaik the original game is out of print?

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)

Well, funny enough, I have my Deus Ex GOTY sitting on my desk right in front of me.. So I won't need that.. But I might get Hitman and surprise my roommate with it. They're a little too gaga over Hitman.

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.

I've got the Deus Ex GOTY Edition on Steam. On sale for $5. I need to go back and finish it soon. Works just fine on Windows 7 64 bit. The Steam forums were extremely helpful when it came to compatibility issues and troubleshooting. Try there first.
@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.
