…I assume you have heard of this forum. I even suspect you will read (or even write?) here on occasions. So let me start by saying your work is awesome and much appreciated. Like many users in this forum, I love those good old games even knowing that I may never have the time to play them all (for me it is the same with books – if someone lends me a particularly nice book or I find one at the library – I may actually buy it afterwards – silly, I know). I am putting up a request here that has come up in your own forum many times, so it is just a reminder:

Please provide original files and disk images with a GOG purchase. I know that there is a variety of ways to extract them from the installers but that’s not for everyone. In addition – such versions may also have missing copy protection (Yes – I want those too), special graphic modes, rare language versions etc (and who knows what works once we all have upgraded to Windows 17). I also know that this won’t be possible for all games due to complicated copyright / separate soundtrack situations but for most of them I imagine its possible. Especially with the GOG preservation program this would be an awesome bonus so the software can be used both on modern hardware and also on old hardware.
Here is an excerpt from your own webpage:

Please
- Include a "Legacy" folder for download, which can include floppy disk images, CD-ROM images (Bin/Cue), and/or original installers.
- Include an EULA that describes that the files contained in the folder are not supported by GOG and are provided solely for historical context.
- Whenever possible, include any official patches.

Thank you
