Meh, no Strike Commander and Syndicate Wars.
Finally picked up Lands of Lore 3. Now I just need time to play it. Also grabbed the Crusader games since they were ones that I never got to play back in the day. I might get around to playing them in 5 years or so now…
any difference between the gog ultima and those from ultima collection disc?
Nothing significant, no.
I tend to get things on GOG that I also have the CDs for just because it works without any need to mess around. Install and play. Rather than spend 5 minutes getting the compatibility settings right for the install, then install (generally slower since it is off a CD), then set up DOSBox, then play.
Plus, CDs eventually stop working.
I tend to get things on GOG that I already own too. It’s convenient, and it saves me from digging thought boxes full of old games. Plus, a lot of them were from the days of 3.25 floppies, and who knows how well they’ve held up after all this time?
