Simon the Sorcerer 4 on GOG and the kickstarter for Simon 6.

Open

I am glad the other (two) misssing parts are finally becoming available, while it does get a bunch of bad reviews, i really enjoyed it back then (although i played the german version so i have not encountered the bad translation).
Hope they will get Everlight too eventually which is basically a fake Simon 6, and well hope the kickstarter for the real Simon 6 becomes a success eventually.

I gave up after the 2nd one. Didnt like the artwork, didnt like the jokes.
I love the first 2 games though.

I added Simon 4 to my GOG wishlist yesterday. I have the first 3 there, so I figured why not? Now I just want them to get Simon 5 released there as well, because who wants 80% of a series? :p

My bet is next week. :p

Now we need Gobliiins 4 too to complete a serie.

Really? Do you think they'll get it released, and that quickly?

I agree with Gobliiins 4. That's the only one I still have never played. The first 3 are classics from my younger years and I've been really wanting to get my hands on the 4th installment.

As far as i know (the rights to) 4 and 5 are from the same company so i can't see any issue why 5 wouldn't come soon. They usually release a serie in their completeness pretty fast.

I have tried contacting the guy who made Gobliiins 4 twice, he has a website which isn't very active, but he never responded.
Most people didn't like the 4th either which is a pity because it really wasn't bad and with that also one other great serie ended there.
But if you ever get your hands on a copy you won't be disappointed.

That would be great!

And it looks like Gobliiins 4 is available brand new and sealed for $5.50 with free shipping! I think I may have to order one and just wait a couple weeks for international shipping. :)

GOG really has been doing wonders lately, and with their continued releases of LucasArts games I'm still holding my breath for Full Throttle, Maniac Mansion (would love to see the enhanced with the inclusion of the original, similar to how they do the Broken Sword 1 and 2 games) as well as Day of the Tentacle.

Oh that certainly is a good deal there. :)

Yeah never saw Toonstruck and the Star Trek adventures games coming (think noone did).
It will probably be a matter of time too for the other LA adventures, if they can still get money out of it, why shouldn't they?

Well I broke down and bought Gobliiins 4. It should be here in a week or two. There's another collection completed. :)

I loved the first two games. Among the best adventure games ever made. 3 and 4 are total crap :-P
