As part of the ongoing 17th anniversary celebration, GOG have announced another expansion of their GOG Preservation Program.

This is where they promise to ensure games continue working smoothly. GOG will provide ongoing updates as issues appear with modern systems. While this is mainly for Windows, it should also mean they will work smoothly with Wine / Proton on Linux too.

From September 29th these additional titles were added with most on sale too:

Gothic 1 - 75% off

Gothic 2 Gold Edition - 75% off

Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness - 80% off

Mortal Kombat Trilogy - 35% off

Freespace 2

XIII Century: Gold Edition - 85% off

Stranglehold - 80% off

There's quite a lot of titles now included in it. A great initiative by the GOG team.

In other related news GOG recently had the Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy released, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and an upgrade to their user reviews.

See all of it on the GOG store.

Freespace 2! One of the best space combat games/sims ever! Super glad. I hope the first Freespace and the Descent series get added too.

If you're a fan, I imagine you are aware of Freespace 2 Open, which you can install via the Knossos launcher. I tried it for the open source Babylon 5 mod, The Babylon Project.

Having FOV quickkeys for Strangehold and cloud saves seems nice. Best way to get GOG cloud saves on Linux is Heroic, I'll be trying this out at some point this week.

Yes. I use that. I'm actually in the middle of that Wing Commander mod at the moment.
