Some interesting news I haven't seen on here yet. A couple of gaming sites have been reporting that Atari has signed a deal with Good Old Games for digital distribution of the Atari catalog.

Good Old Games is a Polish company which specializes in taking critically-acclaimed but older games, removing any DRM, making the games Vista and XP-compatible and then selling them dirt cheap via their digital distribution network.

While the lawsuit between Hasbro and Atari has left a lot of users uncertain about whether or not the Baldur's Gate series and (of course) the Neverwinter Nights series will be coming to the service, there's quite a bit of hope on this end that such legal wranglings won't have an impact on old games like NWN.

One other thing, these guys at GOG were founded by a company called CD-Projekt. If you haven't heard of them, they were responsible for the Polish localization of the NWN series and were also the only company to actually license the Aurora engine, the engine which drives NWN, to create The Witcher. So not only have they heard of NWN, they forked over the big bucks to get their hands on the source code to make their own game with it.

Anyway, pop on over to GOG.com and check it out.

If you make an account on their site you can vote for the "most-wanted" games. Various flavors of NWN are already represented in the voting but it could use a little more lovin' It is also worth noting that users have also requested the discontinued Premium modules as well and those can be voted for too.

Neverwinter Nights via digital distribution is something I'd like to see, wouldn't you?
