Since a lot of this section of the site is devoted to finding ways to install games from GOG on their original operating system, I'd like to invite anyone here to put your vote into a specific feature request on the GOG Community Wishlist:
Provide Original Files And/Or Disk Images with GOG Purchase
I know more than a few very similar requests have been created on the GOG Community Wishlist site, but I'm hoping to get as many people focused on one single request as possible. These tend to actually work as well, many of these recommendations are shown as pending.
Basically this would allow folks here and elsewhere have access to unaltered and non-repackaged installers, disc images or diskette images of original games for us to do with what we want. I'm not sure how this would work legally since the content of said disks will most likely be referencing copyrights that don't fully exist in the same state, but the main point here is that they are made aware of how many people there are who would want this feature.
I, for one, would be purchasing from GOG roughly once a week if I had access to original content and could run games on my PC without having to expand installers, re-edit config files, etc etc.
So if you feel the same, please consider giving this an upvote, and if you know of any other communities that would benefit from GOG doing this, please share!
Thoughts?
