GOG wants to know which games we want to be resurrected after Resident Evil and Dino Crisis: these are our five

GOG is the only digital store that focuses on video game preservation. And their work in this regard speaks for itself. Their work with the first three Resident Evil games has made it possible to play them on PC in a way that is impossible outside the platform today. With the addition of the first two Dino Crisis games, we can say the same about Capcom’s other great franchise. But GOG can do more. And they want to do more. That’s why they’ve asked for help from users with Dreamlist.

Dreamlist is a small platform where we can do two things: vote on which titles we want to be rescued to play on modern PCs and explain our relationship with these games. Why? According to the words of the people at GOG, to make it easier for them to negotiate with the companies that hold the rights to these games. If they can demonstrate that there is an audience that wants to play these games, just as they remember them, it will be much easier for them to reach agreements with the companies.

That’s why they have made a small selection of games they want to bring back. They also allow us to include any PC game that has ever been released. And we are going to tell you the five games we would like to see. Because yes: there are five games in particular that we believe should be next. For very good reasons.

The Operative: No One Lives Forever

Before FPS games became very serious and very American, there was The Operative: No One Lives Forever. A James Bond parody that put us in the shoes of Cate Archer, one of the best spies in the world. With a frenetic pace, an exciting story, spectacular action, and absolutely hilarious humor, No One Lives Forever won many Game of the Year awards. It is considered the best FPS since Half-Life.

Just for that, it’s already worth bringing it back, but there’s something else: as of today, it’s impossible to play the game optimally. The console versions can be played, but they are much worse than the PC version, and the PC version doesn’t work on modern computers, which means this reissue is very necessary. Because we are missing out on one of the great FPS games in history.

American McGee’s Alice

American McGee came from working on Doom and Quake when he decided to adapt Alice in Wonderland. Even if he decided to do it his own way. American McGee’s Alice is what happens immediately after Alice Through the Looking Glass, presenting us with a terrible truth: Alice is in a psychiatric hospital and must travel to Wonderland, which has been monstrously twisted by a horrible trauma from her childhood. This leads to a spectacular platform, action, and adventure game that is still absolutely exquisite to play today.

Again, with the problem that it cannot be played. Not available on any platform and not working on modern computers, the only way to play it is through its sequel, Alice: Madness Returns, as a DLC. Which makes it a perfect candidate to be rescued.

Prince of Persia

If there is a game that needs no introduction, it is this one. We all know Prince of Persia. And yet, its original game is, to this day, practically unplayable. To get a modern computer to run the original version of the game requires real juggling that, we are sure, GOG could handle without problems, and there is a very good reason to wish for it: Prince of Persia is a key element in the history of video games.

This is where precision platforms were created. Still an extremely difficult game today, but also very satisfying, it defined everything that cinematic adventures, precision platforms, and even adventures, in general, should be. This gives it a dimension and importance that makes it unfair that it’s not much easier to simply start playing this excellent game.

The Simpsons: Hit and Run

As popular as they are, it’s surprising that The Simpsons haven’t had more video games. Especially when The Simpsons: Hit and Run is an amazing, extraordinarily fun game that captured the imagination of an entire generation by allowing us to do what we always wanted: travel all over Springfield with the yellow family causing chaos, as if it were GTA. All with the original voice acting intact for the game.

Unfortunately, playing it on a computer today requires jumping through hoops, acrobatics, and some somersaults. Playing it on consoles requires paying very unfriendly prices, in addition to finding the version of the game that has the dubbing in your language. Something that makes it much more inaccessible than it should be for one of those open worlds that anyone who has played it remembers with nothing but tremendous fondness.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X

Capcom has already worked with GOG. Moreover, they seem reluctant to make the remake. What less than to allow us to play the original game in optimal conditions, whenever we want and however we want? Because it is true that the fans of Resident Evil Code: Veronica X may not be many and that what we most desire is a remake that, well, completes the game. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it would be a perfect game to reissue.

Unique among the Resident Evil games, unknown even among fans and much more interesting both in gameplay and story than it is recognized for, its reissue on PC could be the perfect first step for Capcom to then be encouraged to make a remake. What better publicity than for people to get to know and fall in love with the game before remaking it? We can’t think of any. And the historical injustice that has been done with Resident Evil Code: Veronica X deserves it.
