I think this is the first time I'm seeing Zak McKracken as a digital purchase!

EDIT:

Zak is the FM Towns version! DOS EGA version is also included. Loom seems to the VGA CD version with speech.

The version of Loom GoG is selling is the PC CD version.

I cannot see where on the Zak listing it says anything that would indicate the 16-color version is included.

Holy cow, that is impressive. Wow. I assume it uses ScummVM?

That's been on Steam for a while.

I bought the games.

And yes, the all use ScummVM. A few games have executables in a sub-directory, but I wasn't successful in making them run in DOS. Maybe someone else has more luck.

Thanks for the information, I would think they would at least advertise EGA Zak as an extra.

Would it have killed them to include original executables? SCUMMVM doesn't care about them and they don't take up that much extra space.

The SCUMM games have had spotty releases digitally so far, gog seems more diligent with releasing them.
