I'm kind of surprised that @GOGcom dropped the ball on that one. They should have been selling the DVD version a long time ago.
After the decent quality of video in UAKM and Pandora, I can't look at Overseer's scanlined garbage from the CD version.

Didn't know that. But I wonder what the budget was for UAKM or Pandora. I'd say they were big budget games, am I wrong?
Replying to @richardcobbett
Absolutely, however the salaries have to be much higher now than in the mid-90s.

What they should do is have a fan casting call. Hmm, I wonder if that's been suggested yet.

It's really weird to realize that masterpieces like Alone in the Dark were often quickly put together. 3 days for the whole design? Crazy!
Basically the evolution of the game was done when developing the tech, before the actual design. And then they basically just stuck to it.
For some reason I really want to revisit the documentary that came with Bad Mojo Redux. I wish more games came with feature length docs.
