Bring emulated games to PC
Added by
Protoss For example SEGA does make emulated games available on PC now as SEGA Mega Drive Classics. Maybe GOG can fetch contracts to sell such things, and also with other publishers like Nintendo, Sony, etc.
graspee-1 Vote against.
KiNgBrAdLeY7Come on people... Internet is full of rom sites and emulator sites alike. Be it legal or otherwise. Why this is a bad idea? Because emulators have constant updates, new releases, new configurations and new files. Needs some work to fully understand and properly function. You can do it perfectly well, do not be lazy. Plus aye, GoG is not focused and should not be burdened with this direction. Do it yourself is more satisfactory and rewarding, try it, you might actually like it a lot!
HopeAtLastPartly agree :-) Although it'd be nice to play console games, it's outside GOG:s focus as I see it. However, epic or great titles that were only release on other computer platforms like Amiga for example should already be here. :-D As of now we're missing a crucial piece of gaming history! Speaking from own experience, it's rather or very difficult to achieve an accurate emulation just for one hardware setup though. For arbitary hardware and OS mixtures.. whoa! Anyway, would be great!
VisitntXIn "dotEmu" they sell some games that are already here, but in multilanguage. Like Fallout being in Spanish, German, Italian and English, the Goblins' Trilogy also multilanguage, and so on, like Broken Sword series. Games that at gog.com are only in english. I think some are native multilanguage and that they just are configured in their native tongue. BASS is an example. Just Charging it on SCUMMVM directly you can configure the other languages, also bypassing "-q es" to the command line before "beneath" will also do the trick. Just a language selection in the installer would change the launcher to the selected language. So, I prefer gog.com and I would love to see the games that already were released in a multilanguage way to have them here.
cannardEmulated console games would be great, especially for the likes of Sega titles, but CaptainAppleMan's suggestion is probably more reasonable, and an even better idea for a site like this.
WinstonSmith6079Yeah, that would be an excellent thing, centralizing not only all such games, but also all Extra/Bonus materials (all docs, music files, Forim here on GOG, etc., whatever, all-inclusive)! And hey, why not? The DOS games already here are emulated games, so why not other platforms besides DOS and Windows only? I mean I love the Winodws and DOS games already here and wanna see even more added. But how about like Commodore 64, Amiga, Apple II, Atari 400/800 and ST, and even old console games as well, like NES, SNES, PlayStation, Atari 2600 VCS and 5200, Intellivision, etc. Yeah, really--just take the whole damn market on good old retro-games! Hey, I'm all for that and so's my wallet! hehehe Jeez, that would just be most awesomest thing EVER! hehehe
CaptainAppleManI don't think GOG should start selling emulated console games, but rather emulated computer games, not PC games, computer games.. And by this I mean the Amiga, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST and the list goes on.
PsychoticFoetusI don't know if I would buy any Amiga/C=64 games. I did buy Amiga Forever from Cloanto so I could get a copy of all the Kickstart ROMS because *every single game* I want to play is already out there on Amiga abandonware sites for free. So as cool as it would be to buy games for Amiga and C=64 emulators, GOG.com would have to bring something *mindblowingly* special to the party. I don't know, a cenralised game launcher that swapped floppies automaticly, people still in the scene cracking the games so they can run from a virtual amiga hdd .... :/ I just don't know. If GOG.com do decide to do this, I believe Jeff Minter of Llamasoft fame has relased his entire Amiga/C=64 catalogue for free use, so there is a good crop of games to start with. Iridis Alpha FTW! (if only that had been ported to teh Amiga)
fisk0The other entry is specifically talking about console games though, consoles aren't the only legacy hardware around that you could use emulators for. GOG releases of classic home computer games (Amiga, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Tandy CoCo, Atari XE etc.) and arcade cabinets would be amazing.
ProtossI mean that I have been ninja'd by him. :D
ProtossOkay, I reported it. Thanks, and my apologies to SirCabbage for being ninja'd. ;-)

KurokoYou can report duplicated feature requests using the "Options" button in top left corner of this view. It's right next to "Back to wishlist" button. And I'd like to remind everybody that Amiga is a PC. While its not a IBM-PC, it's still a PC.
MichaelPalin@Rezorrand I'm sure people is being ninja'd all the time, this tool is only a few hours old.
SirCabbageTO be fair, I posted mine only about, 5-10 mins before he posted this one. im sure it was an easy mistake to make
RezorrandWouldn't it be better to look for your own idea first and if it already exists here, then vote for it. Rather than disperse the wishes over multiple similar requests?
ProtossAlso see http://www.gog.com/en/wishlist/site/console_games_added_to_gogcom_using_emulators_like_with_dos_games for Console games only.
ProtossGOG just will have to be careful to not shift its preferences, i.e. to still offer PC games. Also, this feature can also include Amiga and C64 games that were never ported to PC, those are indeed often Good Old Games.
SirCabbageAlready made a similar wish myself, I suggest you vote for that too :P Yes, its a great idea and has been done. GOG would be so much better with console games too :P
