GOG has announced the launch of a new feature called Dreamlist, aimed at reviving classic games that have been difficult to bring back. This tool allows users to vote for retro titles they would like to see re-released and share personal stories and memories tied to these games.

This initiative builds on GOG's ongoing commitment to game preservation, such as its Preservation Program, which ensures compatibility of older games with modern systems. Recent successes include the re-release of Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2.

Each game on Dreamlist has a dedicated page where fans can cast votes and contribute narratives. The data collected will be used by GOG in discussions with intellectual property holders, aiming to bring back games that might otherwise remain inaccessible due to licensing or technical challenges.

How can you participate in the Dreamlist?

  • Voting for your favorite retro games.
  • Sharing personal stories and memories tied to these titles on their dedicated pages.

Which classic game from your childhood do you think should be prioritized for re-release through the Dreamlist?

I hope this will finally make it possible to get discworld 1+2 available for purchase online.

Maybe even discworld noir. Here's to hoping.

But Discworld Noir is dreadful!

Also it has Vines being corrupt!

I've never played and that's why i want it on GoG. Even if it's bad, I just want it to be available for everyone to have a chance to experience it themselves.

That's fair. It's not actually awful, I just didn't enjoy its mechanics (and it was wildly unstable too).
