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?

It's a cool feature to make a collective wishlist. I wonder how helpful it is to get deals for those games in place. Maybe the more prominent placement and the visible number of upvotes can help deals get made? They already had a much less prominent wishlist that resulted in similar results.

Also, Dino Crisis is now live, after the original RE trilogy re-release. That's hilarious.
