Maxvorstadt: Blodwyn strikes again, yay!
And I hope they bring Heresy of the Wizard too!
Unfortunately I'm one of those folk who wouldn't play Bloodwych for its lack of automapping. But I would definitely play "Heresy of the Wizard".
Looking at the screenshots on Steam, it seems to be the DOS version, so no addon disk included (it was exclusive to Amiga and Atari ST).
MIrrorsoft could bring all their DOS games, I would buy them.
But I think GOG would reject most of them, especially the CGA games. A nice solution would be make some bundles with 2 or 3 games with the less "commercial atractive" ones.

Agreed. Even if I wouldn't play Bloodwych for lack of time I'd certainly buy the games whenever possible, just to support GOG and the publishers.

Why would they? Powered by DOSBox, each game is less than 50 Mb to store, appealing to all hardcore gamers from 'Good Old Games' era.

I'm just speculating. See Piko for example, they have a lot more obscure DOS games on Steam. Why are those not released here? My guess is GOG picked only what they considered the best and most atractive games.

That's where the Grid Cartographer (gridcartographer.com) should come in handy.

Swedrami: On the 26th of March, according to the other platform.

With GoG having teased a digital re-release of the Dungeon Master series (or Skullkeep at least) wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity to get Bloodwych on GoG as well, and ultimately package both into another dungeon crawler-centric release bonanza, together with other dungeon crawlers listed here for example.

Yes, please.
Dungeon Master on top of that - if that tease should be legit - would be really cool.

The linked list of more recent dungeon crawlers is missing Das Geisterschiff, as well as the sequel Der Geisterturm. Both are a bit of an acquired taste as far as the minimalist wire frame visuals are concerned - I personally find it very aesthetically pleasing - but all around they manage to provide a solid and atmospheric dungeon-crawling experience. Fully supported on Linux also.

GOG should definitely try and get Aeon of Sands: The Trail on the platform too. And Ruzar - The Life Stone, that's also a good one.

Indeed, tested it a while ago with the first EoB, and while not perfect by any means it produced something serviceable you could absolutely work with.

Iirc, Das Geisterschiff got rejected back when, but with the recent U-Turn in regards to curation, we might see it and Der Geisterturm get a release on GoG after all, as part of another Dungeon Crawler-bundle or otherwise.
Also seconded on AoS: The Trail and Ruzar. Both decent titles that would fit right in with the other blobbers/dungeon crawlers already available on GoG.
Sounds like a release on or shortly after the 26th is still possible. Depending on how quick GoG's business development people reach out and both parties can come to an agreement, of course:

"We have nothing to announce at this time, but are open to new partners!"

Dungeon Master series + Bloodwych would be instant buy for me.

Keep voting on the Wishlist, folks ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
I wouldn't mind another batch of dungeon crawlers of new and old, including Bloodwych and Dungeon Master I+II at all.
Especially in these trying times.
Voted.

Edit:
A re-release of Raven Software's Black Crypt would be most welcome too. Sadly it never was ported to DOS.

Nevermind, missed the updated opening post.

Hopefully it's a real port and not just a slap-together emulator job.
