Doom and Quake finally on GOG
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2015 05:56 pm
Something which has been bothering me for a quite a long time was that id Software classics such as Doom and Quake were not available for purchase on GOG.com like almost every other classic '90s shooter was. Well, Bethesda has finally done something right with their purchase, and the games are now up for sale and currently have a 33% discount:

I am not sure what to do with this though. While it is true that I only need the games for their raw data to put in a source port, given how prompt GOG.com has been in putting out Linux DOSBox wrappers for Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior, and Dark Forces, I might just forgo the launch discount in the hope of picking them up later as an actual Linux sale.
Adding some of the more recent id Software titles, at least up to Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, would also be appreciated.
