CyClones and Necrodome came to Gog at some point

I don't know how long this has been the case but these are two old Raven games id wasn't involved with so now I'm feeling a little more optimistic about the likes of Shadowcaster, Heretic II and Portal of Praevus becoming available again.

Take No Prisoners also snuck out there.

 

Heretic 2 and Portal of Praevus are fully Activision-owned. Nothing changes there.

 

ShadowCaster was published by Origin Systems, so that's well and truly under EA's rule. EA's approach to their legacy library can be politely described as contradictory, paradoxical and stoppy-starty, so who knows what, if anything, will come from that. Probably nothing.

I beat TNP for the first time last year and never thought that game would come back. Never say never. Ever since Strife made a return there's been numerous surprise re-releases. On the other side of the coin however Unreal going away was something of a monkey's paw, as I never thought that series would wind up as abandonware in current year.

First time I hear about Take No Prisoners. Is it worth checking out?

[Berubaretto]

I'm wondering whether Mageslayer can be made avaliable again. It was published by GT Interactive, which is Atari nowadays. Considering Atari (plus its subsidiary Nightdive Studios) made many old games avaliable on Steam and GOG.

I think a lot of the GT/Infogrames/Atari stuff has kinda scattered across the cosmos throughout that conglomerate's 27 consecutive nigh-death experiences. So who knows where it's ended up?

Coincidentally, it does look a bit like the infamous Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel spin-off that I just learned about.

It looks like both CyClones and Necrodome were released on GOG on June 28, 2023.

Oh, I thought Microsoft now owns Activision due to the merger.

The merger is by no means a done deal.
