GOG preservation program looks to “fight back” against incompatibility

100 games are currently in the program.

A new GOG preservation program has been established to “fight back” and prevent “time… [from] erasing the games that shaped you”.

“The GOG Preservation Program ensures classic games remain playable on modern systems, even after their developers stopped supporting them,” reads a statement. “By maintaining these iconic titles, GOG helps you protect and relive the memories that shaped you, DRM-free and with dedicated tech support.”

A total of 100 games are in the program, including the likes of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Diablo + Hellfire, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3and many more.

“The GOG Preservation Program is an official stamp on classic games that GOG has improved, with a commitment from GOG to maintain their compatibility,” GOG continued. “Our original promise to classic game creators was that we’d offload all the work from their hands and ensure that games remain compatible with modern systems forever.

“We commit our own resources to maintaining their compatibility with modern systems.”

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
