Good Old Games are plentiful, but many of them are being ignored by their rights holders. GOG.com wants you to submit suggestion of great titles that you still can’t legally play.
The idea is simple. Head to www.gog.com/dreamlist and submit a classic game title to explore. If it not already available, you can upvote it, and even share your memories of the game. High-scoring games have a good chance of then being released through GOG.
We launched the GOG Dreamlist just yesterday, and everywhere we’re seeing communities organizing to vote for games that hold a special place in their hearts. It’s absolutely incredible 💜

Doing well in the list already is Freelancer, while the 1997 Westwood Studios game of Blade Runner has already been freed from digital purgatory. Meanwhile, to get you in the mood, Dino Crisis 1 and 2 have both been released through GOG this week.
Take your time with this process. I found myself utterly confounded, selecting titles that were actually available most of the time. Did you know Omikron: The Nomad Soul was available on GOG? I didn’t. But plenty of other games are not. At this stage, it might be tricky to add something that hasn’t already been suggested, but not impossible.

(I tried Will Wright‘s Raid on Bungeling Bay only to find someone had beaten me to it.)
Whatever classic game you want to see revived, you can head to GOG.com to begin the process of having it available in their library of digital preservation.
