"Make games live forever."
Every now and then, some new games we see call out those old treasures from our early gaming experiences, which are buried not only in our hearts but also in the dust of passing times. They become part of history, something that can only be missed in our memories.
Now, thanks to the new Preservation Program by the online gaming platform GOG, classic games could find a safe place to free them from being forgotten while maintaining compatibility with modern systems.
The formerly Good Old Games was launched 16 years ago as a subsidiary of CD Projekt, with the original goal of preserving and selling classic games without any form of DRM. With the newly announced program, GOG will not only keep retro games that you grew up playing safe and sound but also commit resources to fix game-breaking bugs to ensure they run smoothly.
The first batch of 100 games available via the program covers titles like the original Fallout, which was launched in 1997, three Resident Evil games from over 25 years ago, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition from 16 years ago, Warcraft I and II, which just received official remastered versions today, and many more. You might want to have a look at the list on the store page and encounter some old friends there.
The program’s introductory slogan, "Make games live forever," is powerful enough to show the GOG team’s ambition and vision. There is no wonder that this initiative has won the community’s bursting love and applause.
