Emulators have brought nearly every wanted console game to computers, especially PC's and some to Mac, but for the most part, console titles, unless a PC/Mac release follows suit of a console release, or is released simultaneously, there is no such thing as an "official" computer port of a game. That said, many games these days do get PC ports that originated on consoles, though this is far from universal for every title.
Since it's obviously possible to port games to the PC and/or Mac (and even Linux) via emulator, in theory, developers/publishers could port old classics with ease from consoles.
What games am I referring to? Anything really. But what games, if they could get official ports to the PC, Mac, or Linux, would you want to see added to the internet? I'm referring to generally any digital distribution platform, but I am putting preferred emphasis on GOG. I just know that some folks aren't keen on drm-free, let alone no copy protection. With that in mind, just say what you'd like to have ported. I'm simply curious what you'd like to see added. And I'm talking official titles. If places like GOG could freely sell old games previously emulated, they'd be in a heap o' trouble! ;D
Games I'd like:
Pretty much everything.
