In the last few weeks, an Italian community called "Old Games Italia" is working with GOG to add the Italian localization to many great games. As a matter of fact, the publisher of these games somehow lost or cannot find the official translation and dubbing, but would like to make them available.

Old Games Italia gave GOG the official Italian translations for Might and Magic VI, VII, VIII and IX and Heroes of Might and Magic III and IV. They noticed that right now one game of this awesome series, Arcomage, is not available for purchase on GOG.

From Wikipedia:
Arcomage is a computerized card game produced by The 3DO Company. It originated as a minigame in Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor and Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer, in which it was used to gamble for in-game money or to complete a quest to win games in every tavern. 3DO later released it as a stand-alone game in 2000. In the stand-alone version a single player can play against a computer opponent or two players can play via a LAN or TCP/IP connection. Arcomage uses the fantasy themes of the game in which it is set.

The following video explains the game rules and from 0.55 you will see the game itself.

Arcomage is an addictive game like HOMM3. You say "Just one more game" and three hours later you are still playing :smiley:

This game cannot be found and those who own the stand-alone disc version confirm that it does not work on modern systems.

Old Games Italia asked GOG if there is the chance to add this game to their store. GOG answered that they might consider this chance.
Can you please vote Arcomage in the GOG Community Wishlist? That could help us a lot to make this dream come true.
