GOG has updated their list of videogames included into their Preservation Program, which aims to preserve classic games and maintain them playable on modern systems, including upcoming operating systems as well, even if the original developers of said games are no longer offering support for the titles, and to maintain those classic titles available and free of any DRM.
Today, GOG has added 26 titles to their list, with the full list of included titles being the following:
- Silent Hill 4: The Room
- F.E.A.R. Platinum
- Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption
- Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Legend, Underworld
- Alone in the Dark 1, 2, 3
- Fallout 2
- Deus Ex GOTY Edition
- Ultima™ 1+2+3, 4+5+6, 8 Gold Edition
- Wing Commander™ 1 & 2
- Jagged Alliance 2
- Privateer 2: The Darkening
- Port Royale 3
- Alien Breed + Tower Assault
- Cannon Fodder 1 & 2
Silent Hill 4: The Room, in particular, was one title that GOG already had available in their store. However, this recent addition of SH4 to the Preservation Program also saw the opportunity for GOG to update the game, given how the build that GOG had in their store before this update was an old one from years ago, and the original PC port of Silent Hill 4 was lacking several things from the main console versions, like some of the Room Hauntings being missing from the PC port, as well as other missing content. The hauntings have been restored to the PC port of SH4 now thanks to GOG's update, and the game has also received modern controller support alongside hotplugging and vibration.
GOG is still working on adding even more and more games to their
GOG Preservation Program, and if you wish to have a particular older game make their list of preserved titles, you can vote for your favourites games in their
GOG Dreamlist, which currently has Silent Hill 1, 2 & 3 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X with high votes, amongst many other popular titles.
