Good old Games, or GoG (I had to see how many times I could fit ‘games' into the title) has seen fit to add to the growing pile of Warhammer titles set to be made available this year, by bringing some its classics to the platform. While there is a notable absence of Dark Omen, some of the most well remembered GW games of old are now compatible with modern operating systems and come with the usual manual and other gubbins.
The games in question are the X:COM like, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate, the punishingly difficult and UI heavy Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat and the ‘epic' turn based strategy, Final Liberation: Epic 40,000. Although reviews suggest that a few bugs exist with one or two of them, GoG has been quick with patches and has already fixed up more than one issue in the less than 24 hours since they launched.
If there was one thing they loved in the '90s, it was a massive UI
These three add to the already expansive list of Warhammer related titles coming this year, which includes Bloodbowl 2, Mordheim, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, End Times: Vermintide, Total War: Warhammer, Regicide… and that's not even all of them.
Finally it seems that Games Workshop has realiased that its IPs are its strongest property and that in reality, video games merely bring in more fans for the tabletop experiences, even if it is expensive.

KitGuru Says: Darm Omen is the big one I want to see, though once I've finished with Xenonauts, I might be in a good position to take on Chaos Gate.
Chaos Gate was an excellent game back when it was released. Very old-XCom like, I think I had to stop playing it due running into a bug in one of the missions that prevented me from advancing into the next
This just wreaks of Games Workshop being desperate to make an extra buck as their share price falls through the ground. Other than Total War, the game titles are being made by developers nobody has ever heard of.

Well… as long as they work, who gets harmed exactly? I wouldn’t mind playing dear old Chaos Gate or Final Liberation. I even have fond memories of getting massively pissed off at Shadow of a Horned Rat for murdering all my troops and giving me nowhere near enough gold to recruit more.
I do remember a number of times having it bug out, but getting your Space Marines better and better and gradually getting to the point where you’re wiping the floor with Chaos was pretty damn good.
Until one of your marines takes a plasma blast to the face, leaving remains that could only really fit in a bucket.
As long as they function correctly then let the good, pixelated times roll.
