Maybe there is and i haven't noticed but a touchscreen friendly Category list of games would be great.. of course games like torchlight that have native builtin support are awesome but also if touchscreen support was added to some games would be great. I know some games would be difficult to adapt but games like Fallout 1/2 .. Icewind.. Baldurs and some of the might and magic games almost work great on touch.. I know there are some 3rd party apps that may work but it would be great if Gog.. along with making them windows7/8 compatible also gave some of the point and click games touch support... I'd pay a little more per game for this feature. Touchscreens are almost the norm now on most laptops.. I just bought a Dell Venue pro 8 inch tablet .. no keyboard or mouse.. would be great to load up fallout 2 or Baldurs 2 and enjoy.

The norm. Seriously? Many people here still use standard laptops & tablets. Not GOG's job to make games touch compatible .They have a lot more important priorities.Sorry :/

No, they really are not. Which has helped to contribute towards Windows 8's failure due to it being very much designed for that.
Not to mention every single person I know that has Windows 8 hates it with a passion, one of which even has a touchscreen laptop.

Also, game developers would have to add touchscreen support to games, there is absolutely nothing GOG could do about that.
Guess why PC game developers don't make touchscreen compatible games? Because there is virtually no interest in it at all.

I've not even heard of a mobile game that got ported to the PC with touchscreen support, never mind a proper game.

IMHO, you should have bought an iPad if you wanted to play touchscreen compatible games.

That or an Android tablet. Both of those have more games than the windows store imho....
@tri0xinn

the problem with touchscreen tech can be summed with just two words "Gorilla arm"
Wow.. a bit touchy here?(pun intended) ... Anyway it was just a suggestion for a touch category since some games work with touch now.. such as torchlight and Sanitarium and a few others, not something I was demanding on gog releases.. just a suggestion that it would be a cool option if some simple point and click games like Baldurs gate or Fallout had it.. and I'd be willing to pay more if it were.. sheesh! Also go into Best Buy and I'd pretty much guarantee more than half of the laptops they carry are "touch" enabled..at leaast in the pc section. Accept it people, touchscreens are here to stay.. most of the all in ones have it and even some desktop monitors have it..again in the pc dept.. I'm sure the next gen or 2 of macbooks will also start introducing toujch. Nothing wrong with a bloody suggestion. Also I've owned an Ipad and other android tablets.. and while they're fine I prefer Windows. I own a Yoga 11s for school.. a Dell venue 8 pro full windows tablet for the coffee table and a Xps Desktop with a gtx 770 for pc gaming.. I gog mainly on the 11s and thought it would be cool to gog on the venue8.
@ tri0xinn

Have you played an gog games on your Dell Venue 8 pro? If so which ones and how well did they work?
