Checking out GOG today I noticed they look to have some kind of announcement or something coming up in just under two days.

"Expect the unexcelled" is the tag they're using for this:

Has anyone heard any rumors of what this could be?

From gog.com's own forums:

Official Hints:
1. The return of incredible karmic awareness.
2. Where history overlaps with the present time.
3. They are two different characters, but they complement each other beautifully.
4. A messenger is not named for a soldier, but precedes one.
5. Ohio's secret place.

Got an email.
Activision games.

If they release Interstate 76, I'm going to be all over that.
I only ever played a demo and only ever half wanted the full thing, but if I can get it from GoG, Win 7 compatible (hopefully), then I'm there.

Sounds like those five official hints are for specific games. Check out the activision list and try to find what they might refer to

According to the gog site, it is indeed Activision games. The first two are Arcanum and Gabriel Knight with more to come

Bleh. I ordered the disk vesion for acranum for $11 yesterday; tried to cancel it this morning to get the gog version but it had already shipped.

Well, now that the games are out, obviously 2 is Arcanum and 4 is Gabriel Knight.

Hopefuly 5 really IS Interstate '76. I'll buy 5 copies just for the hell of it. I LOVE that game.

Just got the week three e-mail and it's Space Quest 4-5-6 and Phantasmagoria for $9.99 each.

I'm really hoping they will come out with GK 2 and Phantasmagoria 2. I loved these FMV games back then :D
