Still waiting on Fallout Enhanced.

This great news, hope they get newer titles soon. DRM free Skyrim and Rage would be awesome.

Quake includes the music though you'll have to mount the CD's yourself to play them in Windows ATM.

Great addition but Bethesda's older stuff is overpriced in general on both GOG & Steam. £15 / $20 for 2002 Morrowind? I picked up the GOTY retail (disc) edition for £2 several years ago on EBay (and Oblivion GOTY for around £5). "Free" Arena & Daggerfall on condition of a purchase of another Bethesda game? Why the restriction when you can download both for free anyway direct from the official Elder Scrolls site:-

http://www.elderscrolls.com/daggerfall/

Likewise, since Doom titles really need a decent OpenGL source-port (eg, Doomsday or GZDoom) for mouse-look & modern widescreen resolutions, the only actual files you need to legally own are the DOOM.WAD, DOOM2.WAD, PLUTONIA.WAD & TNT.WAD original IWAD's which assuming you haven't backed them up from floppies you probably already owned (or at least bought the rights to even if you since lost them), have long been circulating on certain 'grey-area' "abandonware" sites for years. It's great these games are now on GOG (still missing Heretic & Hexen though), but you may as well wait for one of GOG's 66-85% off mega-sales for more realistic pricing as a quick look on EBay in the UK shows +130x listings for Morrowind GOTY going for 3-7x less than what Bethesda want from GOG & Steam...
